Ottolenghi

Thoughtful design X Vibrant flavour

Ottolenghi Spitalfields is a great example of thoughtful design, where every detail feels intentional yet effortlessly inviting. The space balances rustic textures with refined finishes, with warm woods, open shelving and soft lighting that highlights the vibrant colours of the food. It’s a place that feels both curated and comfortable.

Beyond the space itself, the Ottolenghi dining experience is vibrant, vegetable-forward and Middle Eastern-inspired. The brand celebrates seasonal produce, vibrant flavours and dishes designed to be shared. There’s a strong sense of identity across all Ottolenghi locations, but each one retains its own character, making the brand feel both cohesive and refreshingly human.

The service reflects the same care and confidence as the design. Staff are knowledgeable without being overbearing, happy to guide you through the menu or suggest pairings with genuine enthusiasm. There’s a calm efficiency to the way everything runs, making even busy moments feel smooth and well-managed.

What truly stands out is the overall experience: from the moment you step inside, there’s a sense of abundance, with aromas, conversation and creativity all coming together in a great way. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual bite or settling in for a longer visit, Ottolenghi Spitalfields delivers an experience that feels nourishing, inspiring and memorable.

What we love is that the Ottolenghi brand also extends beyond its restaurants into cookbooks, deli products and homeware, bringing its philosophy of bold flavours into everyday life. These extensions reinforce the brand’s identity, allowing people to experience Ottolenghi’s creativity both at the table and at home.
