The story
At Odette, Chef Rémi Hénaux crafts a menu that is simple, contemporary, and deeply rooted in terroir. His cooking is personal, warm, and sincere—a reflection of the convivial spirit that defines this Parisian address. After five years as sous-chef in Michelin-starred kitchens (La Grande Cascade, Le Doyen), Hénaux now signs his first carte as Chef, offering modern French cuisine that balances lightness with generosity. The restaurant’s Michelin Recommended status speaks to this precise, masterful approach.
The experience is as architectural as it is culinary. The dining room features a striking undulating wave of wood on the walls, inspired by Christo’s 1985 wrapping of the Pont-Neuf. Graphic light fixtures and plush, quilted banquettes create a setting that is both graphic and welcoming—a space where the mix of materials is thoughtfully staged.
True to its bistronomic ethos, Odette encourages sharing. The menu, available for lunch and dinner, evolves with seasonal arrivals. A dedicated wine cave, curated by the sommelier, offers a collection that will satisfy enthusiasts. Chef Hénaux also partners with local producers for “Les paniers d’Odette,” weekly baskets of seasonal vegetables. This is a restaurant where conviviality meets excellence, from morning until evening.
