Kind staff, pretty set up and relaxed vibe. Both my husband and I ordered Odettes Complete and were impressed with the portions. It was a balanced meal full of flavor. read more

Let me start off by saying my food was mediocre because anyone could make toast and slap some avocado on it. I am writing this because I truly felt so embarrassed and judged based on what was said by a waitress. She asked if we would like some still or sparkling water, in which I replied "No, thank you." because I ONLY wanted juice, but I couldn't even catch a breath to say that because she had the nerve to say, "Water is FREE. You don't have to PAY for the water." I was shocked to say the least because I felt like she was implying I was too cheap to AFFORD WATER. Then my husband asked for his eggs to be over medium, but she gave him the NASTIEST tone not knowing what over medium meant. Granted, not everyone knows what over medium is, but there are probably 101 ways to ask a person nicely. I guess she couldn't figure how to be a nice person that day or she's just a racist. Maybe take lessons on how to have manners and steps on how to be a basic and kind human should suffice. Maybe quit the job and work alone. To be treated extremely poorly once we arrived from AKL left a bad taste in my mouth and I hope no one else has to experience this kind of condescending attitude. read more

We ate here last Valentine Day n was seated quickly n ordered our food which took a long to arrived n was cold. Very unfriendly lady (Asian) never smiled. Portion was very small and very pricey. For the price we paid we could have eaten at Wildfire in the Viaduct area and eat 10x more meat n etc. Odettes should be avoided not coming back. This,Odette, is the worst eating experience in Auckland CBD, NZL read more

Went here for breakfast and was not disappointed. My latte was very tasty and had a cute little design on the top in foam. Also ordered the scrambled eggs dish which was also delicious. My husband ordered the granola bowl and loved it as well. They use a thoughtful combination of flavors you probably wouldn't think of going well together, but truly taste great! We didn't have to wait to be seated and the service was great. If I was in Auckland for longer I'd come back again. read more

Had Friday night dinner here with friends on a rare warm summer night. I like how they've designed the space, those hand blown Parisian glass lights are very pricey, but worth it. Because we couldn't choose just 'one' dish, we ordered a selection from the menu. Some unusual things - wild mushrooms, feta and doughnuts (yes, doughnuts, but a more savoury type) and wood fire focaccia with apple butter, yum! Tried the marinated olives, duck pastrami, beef cheek fritters, bbq pork belly, asparagus slaw and saffron tortellini (there were three of us!). All really good and worth trying. We also ordered two desserts and have to be honest, they are not up to the same standard as the rest of the menu. Dessert warning aside, you should go here. read more

Went for Sunday brunch, which can always be a challenge at any good cafe or restaurant but we were happy to wait at the bar with a coffee and it wasn't long before we were seated. Coffee was good and so was the food. I was about hungry and forgot to photograph it, so guess I'll be going back. The place was packed but I think what looked like sound baffles on the ceiling, meant it wasn't too noisy. The service was really good until after we finished our meals and sat chatting waiting to order more coffee but no one came. We also felt like something sweet to have with said un-ordered coffees but there wasn't anything, perhaps just that addition would bump them up a star. Definitely going back. read more

Seriously impressive food! We had the Wild Mushrooms, Pork Belly, Handcut chips and Lamb shoulder - all of it was excellent. The mushroom were incredible! Most of the dishes are reasonably priced and service was excellent. We only had to wait ~7 minutes per dish. However lighting is a little on the dim side. Definitely returning soon. read more

I went to Odettes for the first time for brunch last weekend and I can't wait to go back. I had heard Odettes was popular so we decided to meet at 9.30am but even then it was an hour wait! We opted to eat outside as it wasn't THAT cold and they did have heaters but luckily for us a small table opened up. There were a couple of large groups (10+) so I've filed it away as a good place for large brunch groups. The brunch menu was different and exciting and I was torn between a few dishes. I finally decided on the Merguez Sausage (Eggplant Chutney, Harissa, Spiced Crepe, Poached Egg) and my dining companions the Heirloom Tomato ( Il Casaro Burrata, Israeli Couscous, Saffron & Rose Vinaigrette), Spinach Scrambled Eggs ( Persian Feta, Eggplant Rouille, Bacon on Grilled Ciabatta) and Wild Mushrooms (Whipped Persian Feta, Donuts, Basil). I was extremely happy with my choice and yet at the same time envious of the wild mushrooms. The merguez sausage was a big crepe folded over into a stack with a delicious, spicy sausage inside, eggplant chutney and a poached egg on top and spicy tomato sauce on the side. The dish was so full of flavour and not like anything else I had before for brunch. The wild mushroms were a range of fried mushrooms served with savoury donuts (ya-huh!) and the most amazing whipped persian feta. I didn't try the spinach scrambled eggs but it got good feedback. The heirloom tomatoes was the only dish that didn't recieve rave reviews from the table. Maybe because it was a cold summery dish ordered on a cold wintry day it just didn't go down as well. The saffron and rose vinaigrette was very acidic and overpowered all of the other flavours in the dish. I'm already fighting an internal dilemma about what to order next time the Foul Medammes and the Pork Hock Rillettes both sound amazing too. read more

What a outstanding location with the most lovely crew and excellent menu, will be back

We spent this rather dreary Sunday morning at Odette's and it was wonderful. I fell in love with the decor and now want to buy a house just to install warm timber walls and gorgeous hanging light bulbs! The service and the ambience were warm and bustling - the perfect place to be on a horrible Winter's day. We started with coffee which was passed over the bar to us super quick, and enabled me to feel like a decent human before moving to our table and browsing the menu. We chose two dishes to share since we both agreed that everything on the menu looked divine. I had the wild mushrooms first, with whipped feta and savoury donuts. It was magical. The mushrooms were so earthy and decadent, the whipped feta creamy and rich. Perhaps it would have been overwhelming if I'd had the whole dish, so on this occasion I was more than happy to share! Our second dish was the lamb merguez sausage with savoury crepe and harissa. This was completely different to the mushrooms, but no less awesome. We split the poached egg on top and let its yolk coat the meal - this was something very different and very special for a Sunday morning! Trading notes with diners around us it's certain we'll be back - my only regret was not buying one of the amazing looking cakes on the bar for some afternoon tea! read more

Odettes is definitely my favourite spot for brunch in Auckland - offering great food, coffee and a relaxed atmosphere. The staff have always been very friendly and helpful. The Odettes complete is a must when dining in for brunch. read more

Odettes was one of the great joys of my NZ experience. I will never forget Sheree, Poi and Manu, they were always so welcoming and wonderful. The food is absolutely delicious. I mainly ate breakfast there and loved their elegant coffees, and unique dishes like the Odettes Complete and Matcha Brioche. If you're in Auckland don't miss this place, it was certainly an instant favorite for me. read more

Your food has changed my life it's also good to know your thinking about the vegans your broccoli was divine

The best dining experience of our lives! The food was spectacular, our waiter Tom was THE BEST and the atmosphere is unmatched. This place is a must and might be worth a flight back to NZ! read more

The place is really good and the food is good. Unfortunately 2 things really brought them down - the waitress are not friendly do not wait on you unless being summoned and and the lack of flexibility of allowing big groups to pay individually is big turned down. Sadly as it is a nice place with nice setting and good food, I do not get the welcome feeling hence not recommending Odette Eatery. read more

We had been keen to try Odettes Eatery ever since it opened and a recent family birthday celebration presented the perfect opportunity for our family group of eight including a five year old. It was a Sunday brunch and we were delighted to find that they take bookings for 6 or more - so helpful when you have a larger group. It is a lovely setting - great décor, plenty of space with a seamless indoor/outdoor flow. Our table was inside but it felt like it was outside. There is outdoor seating with a large (permanent) "gazebo" like structure and even a bit of lawn that you could almost picnic on! We were pleasantly greeted and seated, water and menus arrived promptly as did our wait person for coffee/drinks orders. No rush with our somewhat lengthy perusal of the menus. The brunch menu is an eclectic mix of exotica. No eggs bene I'm afraid which is no bad thing when you sight this menu with its strong Eastern Mediterranean influence. Variously we ordered the Carew Almond Milk Bircher (marinated berries, puffed wild rice and toasted almonds), Smashed Avocado (chilli, rocket, coriander on toasted rye with poached egg & bacon) and Baked Salmon Salad (swiss chard, kidney beans, buttermilk). All were declared tasty and moreish . I'm a bit of a sucker for the big brekky and Odettes Complete did not disappoint - poached eggs, whipped feta, heirloom tomato, avocado, bacon on sour dough. I loved it. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked, the whipped feta added a delightful flavour dimension and the avocado was the perfect ripeness - and plentiful. And a special mention of the bacon. Bacon can be very hit and miss but in this case it was perfect - smokey, streaky and cooked just short of crunch - just how I like it. The coffee was Millers - not many eateries carry this brand - and it really hit the spot. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive without being intrusive. Clare and Joost have done a fabulous job in setting up what for us will be a "go to" restaurant. It'll be for lunch next time - a quick perusal of the lunch menu had me almost placing an order there and then. Can't wait to tuck into those Soft Shell Crab sliders and the Duck Pastrami! We'll be back soon. All in all it was a most satisfying dining experience. Thank you Clare, Joost and the team. read more

Very cool atmosphere, great service, no complaints really. With one exception, vegetarian and vegan offerings are woeful. The food is also a bit oily to my taste, not quite the "let's drizzle olive oil over everything" type, but just a bit heavy handed on the bottle. The one thing I love is the service, which is consistently great, and, for that, I can pretty much forgive the menu shortcomings. read more
