The downstairs market carries French-made products, including gourmet foods, pastries and cheeses.
Croissants are a standout, with one reviewer calling them the best they had tasted in Dubai.
The raclette is rich and melty, with unlimited cheese described as a highlight of the meal.
The goat cheese salad earns unusually specific praise for its honey mustard dressing, apples, pine nuts and croutons.
The weekend breakfast buffet is praised for its pastries, breads, jams, butters and egg dishes.
The rooftop is repeatedly recommended, especially when Dubai's weather makes terrace dining comfortable.
A review notes free parking at the back, a useful detail for a Jumeirah visit.

“We only tried the raclette from all the menu - it was good. However, the only thing that didn't make our experience perfect was that the restaurant doesn't have an alcohol licence as it is located in a dry area in Dubai. So imagine a good raclette not paired with a good bottle of wine 🫠”

“So happy to be proven wrong we got the Fois Gras, French Onion burger, the Veal Scallop, and Creme Burlee. For non standard drinks we did the Raspberry rose mocktail , piccalo coffee, and the iced coffee. Personally fois Gras is not my thing but the person who eats it loved it. The food quality was immediately noticeable, from seasoning, to the quality of cuts to the consistency of sauces and dessert.”

Check availability. Ask what is available before ordering, as the menu appears seasonal and rotating.
Reserve ahead. Reservations are recommended, particularly if you are planning a larger meal or visiting at a busy time.
Try rooftop. Choose the rooftop or outdoor seating when the weather is comfortable; it is specifically recommended by reviewers.
Use rear parking. If driving, check the back of the property for the free parking mentioned in a review.
Plan drinks. Bring alcohol-free expectations: the restaurant is unlicensed, so raclette cannot be paired with wine on site.
Clarify breakfast. Ask how breakfast is charged before ordering a single dish, since one guest felt pushed into the buffet.

Some visitors found several dishes unavailable, including the items they had specifically come to order.
Reviews mention forgotten plates, weak table follow-up and a dinner wait of well over an hour on one busy occasion.
The restaurant has no alcohol licence, which matters if you want wine with raclette or dinner.
Dish quality varies in reviews: one diner found the onion soup disappointing, while another found it rich and delicious.
The French products in the market are considered expensive or slightly higher-priced by some shoppers.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.
The Odeon Wagyu burger
“This time I ordered for a main dish The Odeon Wagyu burger 95AED (10/10) and oh my God!!! This one of the best burgers in Dubai for sure”Google review · July 2022
The Bottom Line
Odeon combines a French restaurant with a gourmet market and bakery in Jumeirah. You can come for breakfast, lunch or dinner, then shop downstairs for French cheeses, pastries and other imported products. The strongest recurring food mentions are the raclette, goat cheese salad, croissants and burger, while the Galette des Rois and chocolate mousse also receive memorable praise.
Breakfast is a major draw. Reviews describe a generous buffet of pastries, breads, jams, butters, eggs and coffee, although one guest disliked being steered toward the buffet when ordering a single item. The restaurant has a warm, elegant setting, with outdoor and rooftop seating that reviewers particularly like in cooler weather.
It is also described as family-friendly, with free parking at the back. There are a few practical cautions. The menu can rotate, and some diners have arrived to find several dishes sold out; a large Christmas Eve group also reported a wait of more than an hour.
Service is often friendly and knowledgeable, but reviews also mention forgotten plates and limited table follow-up. The restaurant is not alcohol-licensed, and market prices run higher than ordinary grocery shopping. Checking availability and reserving ahead should make the visit smoother.
