Odelice is a casual bistro that I frequently visited for lunch on weekdays for my 2+ years working in Admiralty, but the first dinner encounter just happened days ago. Not like La Creperie and Instacrepes featuring a majority of its menu with galettes and crepes, 60% of its menu is filled with delectable selection of salad, pasta, all-day breakfast items and desserts, which definitely wins over the two in terms of food variety.

Odelice is a casual bistro that I frequently visited for lunch on weekdays for my 2+ years working in Admiralty, but the first dinner encounter just happened days ago. Not like La Creperie and Instacrepes featuring a majority of its menu with galettes and crepes, 60% of its menu is filled with delectable selection of salad, pasta, all-day breakfast items and desserts, which definitely wins over the two in terms of food variety. Mostly trying its galettes and pasta for lunch, I got a taste of its other a la carte dishes which were equally satiating; though, galettes remain my love and together with desserts, bringing me back here for sure.
To my surprise, it should be the busiest eatery along the street on the weekday night of my visit. As a norm for most people working around this area, we don't usually pick dinner venue nearby, for our mood tending to struggle and escape from workplace or its neighbourhood asap after work. It truly came to my surprise that the bistro was 90% full at 8.30pm of my weekday visit, and I would have to wait to be seated if I didn't come earlier. Without busy traffic and passers-by sprinting around, warm vibes by dim and cosy lighting of the restaurant made a stark contrast to the quiet alley.
Decking out in soft colours and warm woods, the bistro is cosy like home, shedding soft yellow lights onto tables but not directly onto our heads. Permeated with conversational vibes, it is simply a rustic bistro that brings a laid-back french fare with unpretentious comfort food.
I won't normally flip the a la carte menu for my lunch options. The menu (in details at the end of review) is exuberant to include most that would appear in casual french dining scene that you can imagine. As light as salad and as heavy as main courses like pasta and mussels pot, the detailed menu is able to satisfy most, if not all, no matter one is full or starving.

Salmon Quinoa Salad $118
As a loyal fan of superfood like quinoa, a salad with equally healthy salmon slices is not to be missed. Kicking start the dinner with such a clean salad is a no-brainer. Filled with two pieces of pita-like bread, a substantial amount of leafy greens, quinoa, beans and cheese were well-mixed to give a flavourful spoon of healthy food.
We kept munching on spoon by spoon, but later found out that the best way to finish off the salmon was to put them on the bread alongside cheese slices in the bowl. Fresh salmon instead of smoked salmon was used and avoided the briny, and very often, overpowered salty flavour that may potentially ruin the supposed-to-be-clean salad.

Mussels & Fries w/ white wine sauce $175
Mussel pot is one of my favourites in terms of conversational yet not heavily seasoned main course. This didn't let us down, with well-expected portion of mussels filling up the pot. Drizzles of herbs and onions made a mouthful of mussels even more flavourful.
This kind of mussels (perhaps blue mussels?) used in mussel pots aren't usually big, but they are scrumptious and absorb the wine sauce to its maximum. As for the fries, dipping them into salad dressing is fine, but we both prefer white wine sauce that could only be seen after finishing off over half a pot of mussels. However, there wasn't much white wine sauce left which made dipping quite difficult. Other than the lack of white wine sauce, this was an unbeatable, decadent main course.

Galettes are with buckwheat fragrant which makes it a delectable main course despite its crepe-like appearance which makes you recall sweetness instead. It was fried just right that it wasn't hard and dry to consume. Quality of galettes is so stable and up to standard that it is the best place in town to serve perfect galettes.

It is not like any other french desserts that are overpowered with sweetness, as the "floating island" like snow is made of meringue poached on crème anglaise. Soft, gentle and airy, filling myself with a mouthful of caramel-garnished meringue was a truly comforting sensation with a smooth finish. Crisp on top further enhanced the texture and boosted nutty flavour on top of mildly sweetened meringue.
In a setting reminiscent of a homey bistro in France, Odelice gave us a pleasant dinner with cosy vibes and simple yet scrumptious french comfort food. It came to our surprise that it remained a popular hangout venue other than weekday lunch time. Must be back for sure other than my working weekdays, at least for its perfect-all-the-time galettes and special desserts like the floating island which makes Odelice a valuable gem in the heart of the city.================
