From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an atmosphere that was both elegant and welcoming. The service was impeccable — attentive without being intrusive, and delivered with genuine warmth that made us feel truly special. We chose the 5-course menu with paired wines, and it was an absolute triumph from start to finish. Each dish was a work of art — each dish was a masterpiece. Beautifully presented, with flavours that were perfectly balanced and thoughtfully composed. The wine pairings elevated the experience even further, each glass thoughtfully selected to complement and enhance the flavours on the plate. The setting itself added to the magic of the evening — refined, intimate, and with a touch of understated luxury. If you’re looking for a dining experience that combines artistry on the plate with flawless service and a wonderful atmosphere, L’ODAS is not to be missed.

Food was nice, but nothing too fancy. Unfortunately, the meat course was not really tender as would one expect in such a location. Also, due to being very crowded, the food service was just too slow. For 5 courses it took from12:00am to 03:00pm.

Such a pleasurable dining experience. Imaginative and satisfying with delicate ingredients. I will treasure this experience for many years and look forward to going back.

The lunch we had was simply brilliant in every way and is a grand testament to all the team members how well it flows. The culinary vision is at the highest level and it is magical in its execution. What also stands out is how the culinary vision carries over to the management vision and how the team executes together. There are so many magnificent elements of the meal that just keep exceeding the last dish and the bread and butter could easily be considered its own course. No question that this spot is easily a Michelin 1 star!

We had a lovely meal here. After introducing ourselves, we were taken up to a sixth floor dining area with great views across the city and Tomas looked after us very well. There is a selection of tasting menus available, as well as some bonus courses. Several wine pairing offerings also available.

Waste of money. Disaster New Year’s Eve dinner
During the dinner, the experience was ok, if I compare to other restaurants of the same level/ambitions. The duck was undercooked and some other dishes were barely warm enough. Keeping in mind the price (almost 600eur for 2), it fell short of the expectations, pulled up only by a partial view of the cathedral.
Less than 1 hour after finishing the dinner, arriving back at the hotel (within walking distance), we have experienced violent diharrea and vomit, which continued for the better part of January 1st. This meant no sleep and various inconveniences that are better spared to the reader.
On Friday Jan 2nd, after being able to get out of the hotel, to buy some food (toast bread and rice) and medicines, I went and visited the restaurant to share my experience.
It is worth sharing the interaction to warn any potential guests.
In a very flat tone, I explained factually the health issues both my partner and I experienced to the waiter (tall French guy, longer hair, a bit wavy). The reaction was: “d’accord” (i.e. “OK”) after each of my sentences (about 4-5 times). He then asked if I visited a doctor (I remind you that this interaction took place on 2 Jan, in the morning) and said that he would maybe call the other guests to see if they had the same issues. He suggested that I ate something else the morning of the 31st, which might have caused it. It was not the case, as we only had a light late breakfast with tea and usual biscuits.
Important to note: never once he apologized or at least said he felt sorry to hear about the situation. While leaving, he said “goodbye, get well soon” (“bon rétablissement”), in a dismissive tone.
In any case, such situation and subsequent interactions are not acceptable. When you go to a restaurant with such ambitions, and the experience falls short to such an extent, it’s about how you handle the situation afterwards that separates the mass from the great.
Apart from the issues with the food, I would encourage the owners to surround themselves with a team who is at the (pretended) level of the restaurant.
Putting on a show for guests, presenting dishes is one thing, but moral values are something different and they come out easily (or don’t).
Over a week after I wrote a message to the owners on their contact adress, I still haven’t received any reply.
Don’t go. This restaurant is a waste of money.

Food was excellent as expected: very tasty, perfect portion size. Atmosphere on the 6th floor, overlooking the cathedral was magical. The only slight negative was the pace, too slow for our taste. We waited several time about 15min between 2 courses. Also, I would have liked to discuss with a sommelier to choose the wine.
The rest was perfect. We’ll definitely come back and highly recommend L’Odas.

Only 2 out of the 7 courses we ate were actually ‘Michelin worthy’. The rest of the food is average at best. A bit overpriced for the taste and experience.

One of the best meals I have ever eaten. The food was spectacular, strong but perfectly balanced flavours, from amazing amuse bouches, through a delicious large ravioli with a perfect yolk inside to a perfectly cooked piece of monkfish with beans, chorizo and a delicately curried sauce, and a delicious raspberry dessert. Everything came as a surprise — you simply choose the number of courses. This was the first time I have experienced this but I really liked it — it added to the anticipation and you ate things that you might not have ordered a la carte… service was great. We ate on the terrace on a very hot day and the parasol didn’t quite shade the table — hence 4/5 on ambience. But it was wonderful and I hope to return!

I rarely feel the need to review a restaurant, but l’odas is something else. We had the 7 course taster menu, with 5 course wine flight. Every course was impeccable, the scallop and mackerel courses in particular were out of this world. The food was as good if not better than the 2 and 3 star restaurants I have eaten at. The only tiny negative was that they were very busy as the service suffered slightly, but the staff were so nice and friendly it more than made up for this and would be unfair to call it a complaint. I visit France regularly, and from now on will make sure to detour through Rouen to eat here.
