Odelice is a casual bistro that I frequently visited for lunch on weekdays.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.

Salmon Quinoa Salad

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.

Salmon Fillet & Spinach

Not feeling like craving for beef or pork, we picked another healthy meaty option - grilled salmon fillet. It may not be the best dish throughout the meal mainly because of its price, but its doneness and flavour was just right and brought us satisfaction in palate. We do hope that its portion can be bigger, at least with more spinach and cherry tomatoes to fill us up as a main course. Despite room of improvement to the portion, the fillet was grilled just right, being succulent inside underneath the crispy skin in golden, appealing colour.

Mussels & Fries w/ white wine sauce

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.

Complete Royale Galette

How can I possibly leave here without any galette or crepe? Galettes here are always made to perfection, not carrying the nearly-roasted smell which often appear on galettes that are too thin. We just casually picked one that carried simple ingredients like a sunny egg, cheese and ham, the highlight and the elevated spin being the truffle oil and truffle pieces drizzled above the egg. We were told to break the yolk and spread it evenly to mix with the truffle oil drizzle.

Ile Flottante

Instead of getting a crepe, the "floating island" caught our attention. I tried this traditional dessert some time ago in Le Cafe Du Mont Blanc in Causeway Bay which is helmed by a french chef. Since then, there is nowhere I can find this valuable rustic dessert which is not conventionally sweet like other french desserts and pastries.

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.
