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.
