The order was jamón French toast (17.0) and bottarga aglio olio (18.0), and even for someone who normally dislikes oil pasta, the savoury bottarga with plump shrimp was outstanding.

![Decor and interior details on a table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia-14-tvuo0-900.webp) ## Odd Bird Oliver menu and prices At Odd Bird Oliver you get to browse the menu on the table before staff come take your order, and ![Odd Bird Oliver's menu placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia-15-11h3s-900.webp) ![Menu opened showing sets and à la carte items](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia-16-1tfhp-900.webp) here's the Odd Bird Oliver menu 📋 - Signature 2-person set (63.0) — Focaccia 2pcs & Ricotta Caprese, Bottarga Aglio Olio & Chipotle Roast Chicken - Brunch 2-person set (55.0) — Small Soup & ABC Salad & Bismarck Sandwich, Jamón French Toast & Americano - Romaine Chicken Salad (15.0) / Ricotta Caprese (16.0) - ABC Salad (17.0) / Salmon Citrus Salad (17.0) - Paprika Tomato Stew & Focaccia 2pcs (17.0) - Summer Carrot Soup & Focaccia 1pc (10.0) - Bismarck Sandwich (16.0) / Green Bean Open Sandwich (15.0) - Jamón French Toast (17.0) - Bottarga Aglio Olio (18.0) / White Ragu Pasta (18.0) - Pistachio Jambon Pasta (19.0) / Jamón Mushroom Risotto (19.0) - Chipotle Roast Chicken (29.0) - Peppercorn Sirloin Steak (39.0) - Focaccia Bread 2pcs (4.0) / Crispy Fries (9.0) - Small Soup (4.0) That's how the menu was laid out, and ![Drinks, coffee, and alcohol menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia-17-51t9y-900.webp) they also sell a variety of drinks, coffee, and alcohol 〰 ![Table set before ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia-18-4xy38-900.webp) So what I ordered at Odd Bird Oliver was two dishes: Jamón French Toast (17.0) and Bottarga Aglio Olio (18.0), and ![Jamón French toast and bottarga aglio olio served on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia-19-1ifcw-1200.webp) I was curious about both, and while I was debating which to get, I saw the jamón French toast at the table next to me and just couldn't resist ordering it too hahahahahahahaha ![A plate of jamón French toast](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia-20-1labz-900.webp) ## Jamon French toast (17.0): one of the best I've had The Jamón French Toast (17.0) is a sweet-and-salty, can't-stop-eating French toast served with jamón, ricotta cheese, and banana brûlée. It came with two big chunks of French toast, two pieces of banana brûlée, jamón, nuts, and ricotta cheese, and ![A bite of French toast topped with banana brûlée and ricotta](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia-21-6gazo-900.webp) when you cut the toast into bite-sized pieces and pile on the brûlée, jamón, and ricotta all at once, heaven appears. The toast was pretty thick, so I worried it might be bland, but there was sweet syrup pooled at the bottom, and combined with the salty jamón, the nutty-salty ricotta, and the crackly brûlée texture, it's honestly in the top 3 French toasts I've ever had ![Cross-section of the thick French toast](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia-22-1lnsz-900.webp) ## Bottarga aglio olio (18.0): the oil pasta that changed my mind The Bottarga Aglio Olio (18.0) is an oil pasta where bottarga's umami, garlic, and olive oil come together perfectly, with really plump shrimp cut into bite-sized pieces, and ![Bottarga aglio olio with plump shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia-23-pca6u-900.webp) personally, oil pasta isn't usually my thing, but I think that's just because I hadn't tried Odd Bird Oliver's version yet. It wasn't just salty from the bottarga — it had genuine, delicious umami, a spicy-nutty-sweet kick from the garlic, and the combination of plump shrimp, butter, and oil's richness was just so, so good • • ## Verdict: big portions, and not a bite left Of all the brunch places I've been to recently, this might be the tastiest, and the portions were pretty generous, so even though I was full I cleaned every plate hahahahahahaha. On days when I'm craving brunch, I think I'll come straight here without any hesitation. ## Where it is - Odd Bird Oliver (오드버드올리버) - 33 Dongseong-ro 15beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea, 1st floor - 부산광역시 부산진구 동성로15번길 33 1층 - 35.1517586, 129.0665665 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EB%93%9C%EB%B2%84%EB%93%9C%EC%98%AC%EB%A6%AC%EB%B2%84/@35.1517586,129.0665665,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@coffee-late-supper/jeonpo-brunch-oil-pasta-focaccia/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
