Chef-patron Bryn Williams produces a “small and well-executed menu” showcasing north Wales at this high-quality local in lovely Primrose Hill, which he’s owned for over 15 years now. But while it still attracts many favourable reviews, the magical atmosphere that was a hallmark of its original incarnation (it was founded nearly 50 years ago) has “faded” in more recent times.

This classy north London institution in the heart of pretty Primrose Hill “never disappoints and is really good value” under renowned chef-patron Bryn Williams, who has been in charge for the last 15 of its 45 years, and whose family farm in Wales supplies the kitchen (including with “excellent, tender beef”). It’s the venue of choice for locals with something to celebrate – while many from further afield just “love Sunday lunch at Odette’s, sitting outside on a sunny day”.

This Primrose Hill veteran of 40-plus years may not be “revolutionary”, but it is much more than a “reliable and friendly neighbourhood local” under acclaimed chef-patron Bryn Williams, the owner for almost 15 years. Strengths include the “reinstated tasting menu”, a list full of “intriguing wines”, and excellent ingredients that include produce from the Williams family farm in Wales. Service is “friendly and attentive”, and it offers “excellent value for money”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
