Ottolenghi Spitalfields

We’ve had a great time here with stunning food, very competent service and overall a great experience. Generally, all Ottolenghi restaurants should be seen as a sharing experience and I love that. The food quality was great and almost all meals were great. Only the sea beam was slightly dry and burnt but it was ok when considering the rest of the meal. The food prices are alright, drinks rather expensive but the Ottolenghi wines from the Czech Republic were surprisingly good! The atmosphere was ok, a bit loud at times with many long tables. The lighting was changing throughout the evening but not really for a good reason. So maybe fix one lighting and stay with it? Otherwise great experience.

Background: It was one of my favourite restaurant in London when I was studying. It was known for its vibrant and flavorful cuisine. Ambience: The ambience is relaxed and inviting, creating a welcoming atmosphere for diners. The restaurant's modern decor, combined with natural elements, creates a warm and trendy setting. They still display ready to eat salads and desserts at the counter. Service: The service is attentive Food: The menu showcases a delightful array of dishes that are bursting with flavor and creativity. The vegetarian options are particularly outstanding, with a wide variety of flavorful and satisfying choices. From vibrant salads to hearty mains, Ottolenghi's vegetarian offerings are a true culinary delight. Drinks: The drinks are equally impressive, offering a refreshing selection of beverages to complement your meal. Overall: A must-visit restaurant for food enthusiasts seeking a vibrant and flavorful dining experience.

This place is definitely corresponds to its reputation. The food is delicious and there is nothing else needed to add here. It was so good that a group of people went quiet when the food arrived. Service is nice, and quite fast even though there was a very busy lunch time when we visited. This is not a cheap place. The vibe is smart casual.
