The Odeon

The Odeon has been part of the downtown scene for so long that it’s hard to remember Tribeca without it. Diners can’t go wrong with its tried-and-true standards: French onion soup blanketed with bubbling Gruyère, crunchy fried calamari made to be dipped in tartar or spicy chipotle sauce, and steak au poivre with fries. Little ones can go for simpler fare, such as pasta and butter, and still have room for decadent desserts like the custard brioche pudding or apple-walnut tart.
