"Diners can’t go wrong with its tried-and-true standards: French onion soup blanketed with bubbling Gruyère."

Pete Wells

"If the words you hear are “moules frites,” you’re in good shape; the mussels will be fat and fresh, and their saffron-cream sauce will be rich and flavorful, even if the taste of saffron is more of an allusion than an outright statement."

Pete Wells

"The fries are exactly what you’re picturing, skinny and golden and salty in their paper-lined metal cups."

Pete Wells

"It’s hard to look at the Odeon’s slowly revolving ceiling fans, hanging globe lamps, white tablecloths and burgundy banquettes without the words “steak frites” popping into your head. This is an understandable reaction, and a smart one. The steak, a New York strip, is of high quality."

Pete Wells

"In cold weather, I ask for a scalding crock of French onion soup, lifting my spoon higher and higher in the steam until the thread of melted Gruyère finally snaps."

Jacob Bernstein

"They make a fantastic burger."

Ariel Kanter

"It's always bustling at The Odeon; make sure your table goes for the Brasserie specialties—think moules-frites with saffron cream and a cheese-lovers croque monsieur."
