The Odeon.

Worth it, says Antonina. If you’re visiting for dinner, the French onion soup is non-negotiable in my book.

When to go

Consistently great, the restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine every hour of the day, but there’s something special about weekend brunch. Steak frites and french onion soup are subbed for airy omelettes and stunning french toast.

Perhaps best known for expertly-executed martinis, the Odeon remains one of the most charming brasseries in New York City. The French restaurant opened in 1980 and quickly became a neighborhood hangout for stylish New Yorkers and celebrities alike.

Consistently great, the restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine every hour of the day, but there’s something special about brunch. Steak frites and french onion soup are subbed for airy omelettes and stunning french toast.

There are other things on the menu, of course, like croque monsieur and avocado toast, but those are just supporting actors. Omelettes put this place on the map with New York City’s brunch crowd, see what all the fuss is about.

My advice The Odeon’s french onion soup is the best in town.

What I wrote thereFold it away

Opened in 1980, the endearing neon red sign draws folks in like a magnet, and the tantalizing plates keep them coming back for more. Serving French-American fare, the Odeon is one of the most popular restaurants in Tribeca. The menu is simple with a focus on French classics like steak frites and oysters. Feeling fancy? There’s also duck leg confit and a great yellowfin tuna burger. This is one of the best restaurants in Tribeca to celebrate a special occasion, highly recommend!
