Book NowAbout ODÉ Bistro
On O’Connell Street, ODÉ Bistro delivers ambitious East-meets-West tasting menus in an intimate, easygoing dining room without white-tablecloth pretension. Regulars praise the Feed Me option, where plates arrive with casual tableside breakdowns directly from the floor team and the head chef. Think king prawn tacos, chicken ravioli with chilli oil, and dry-aged wagyu crowned with garlic miso beside velvety mashed potatoes. Dinner finishes on a Basque cheesecake balanced by tart raspberry sorbet.
- East-West Tasting Menus: Courses fuse Eastern ingredients and Western techniques, from garlic miso wagyu to chilli oil chicken ravioli.
- Tableside Dish Introductions: The kitchen and floor staff personally describe the ingredients and cooking methods as plates land.
- Warm, Unpretentious Vibe: An unpretentious, dimly lit setting that suits date nights and celebratory milestones without stiff formality.

David Cui Atmosphere Built for Meaningful Milestones
An intimate dining room and thoughtful pacing create an inviting environment tailored for milestone birthdays, wedding anniversaries, and date nights.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed, cozy, and very inviting — the music and ambiance were perfect for a celebration.
Kevin Tria Inventive East-West Menu Craftsmanship
Multi-course Feed Me and degustation menus merge classical Western culinary methods with Eastern flavor elements to craft inventive dishes.
Very subtle usage of fusion elements which resulted in a complex but refined flavour profile.
ZongHan Tai Harmonious and Layered Flavor Depth
Every course presents layered combinations and textural surprises across starters, proteins, and desserts without flavor repetition.
The flavors were complex and varied—there was absolutely no repetition in taste across the courses.

Signature chef-curated courses and standout savory plates
Dry Aged Steak
Excellent steak, beautiful crust and uniform doneness with the perfect serving temperature up to the last bite. The garlic miso was the cherry on top umami bomb that elevated the flavour to another level but did not overpower the natural rich beefy flavour of the dry aged steak.
ZongHan Tai King Prawn Tacos
King prawn tacos and the chicken ravioli were excellent though the others were quite good as well.
ZongHan Tai Feed Me Menu
We chose the “Feed Me” menu option and it was fantastic — we were completely full by the end and enjoyed every course.
Kevin Tria Beef Tartare
Meanwhile, the beef tartare, adorned with nduja, forest cherry, pearl onion, and potato chips, emerged as a standout dish—a culinary masterpiece that tantalized the taste buds with its bold and innovative flavors.

Excellent Basque Cheesecake, the tartness of the raspberry sorbet and berries perfectly cut through the rich cheesecake.
ZongHan Tai Mashed Potatoes
mashed potatoes which were the silkiest mashed potatoes I have had.
ZongHan Tai Yogurt Gelato with Apple
yogurt gelato with apple. Beautiful and delicious.
Elizabeth Tyson Shallot Bread
Personal recommendation would be to save the shallot bread for large plates to soak up the delicious juices of the roast chicken & steak.

Before you head over
Practical dining advice to maximize your meal and tasting experience.
Opt for the Feed Me or tasting menu
Pair the Feed Me or multi-course tasting menu with tableside introductions to get the full story behind the fusion techniques and ingredients without navigating the à la carte list.
Save your bread for the mains
Hold onto the shallot bread or order extra bread early to mop up rich tarragon and roast meat jus from the larger plates.
Notify in advance for vegetarian options
The kitchen accommodates vegetarian guests on set tasting menus, but notify staff ahead of time or upon booking so custom multi-course courses can be seamlessly arranged.
