Owner & Chef, Ostrow Brasserie

Olivia’s culinary journey began in her native France, where she learned to cook as a teenager and was mentored by the chef to Jacques Chirac, the former President of France. Weekends were spent in the countryside in Périgord, where Olivia was taught how to stuff geese and make foie gras.

In the ‘90s, Olivia’s collaborated with her father to create a French restaurant called Le Rendez-Vous in North Carolina. At the award-winning brasserie, she incorporated traditional French influences into her cooking, while learning the business side of the business.

Next, Olivia embarked on a global food tour, including a stint in Israel, and acquired new cooking techniques in every country she visited. In the 2010s, she returned stateside and launched “O’s Gourmet Catering,” an international catering company situated on Florida’s Treasure Coast, as well as two successful restaurants, O’s Café and O’cean Café.

Miami beckoned and, in August 2023, Olivia debuted Ostrow Brasserie, which is the culmination of all these experiences. With a keen eye for detail, killer cooking skills and front-of-house prowess, the award-winning chef has created Miami’s first Kosher French restaurant.

Chef Olivia has been featured on cooking segments on ABC, NBC and FOX. In 2020, she was a contestant on Guy Fieri’s Food Network show, “Grocery Games,” where she had 30 minutes and $15 to shop for, cook and plate an international dish for the judges. Chef Olivia also contributes to Kismet magazine.
