🥗 Ottolenghi Spitalfields｜A Colourful, Flavour-Packed Paradise for Vegetable Lovers If you’ve been to London, you’ve probably heard of Ottolenghi — and among all their locations, this Spitalfields branch might just become my favourite. It’s not only healthy, but genuinely exciting in flavour, texture, and presentation. 🌸 Atmosphere The space is minimalist white, but filled with vibrant flowers and beautifully plated dishes — giving it a chic, elevated market feel. The open kitchen and dessert counter are picture-perfect. The vibe is warm and relaxed, perfect for a casual date, a catch-up with friends, or even a solo meal if you’re in the mood for something nourishing. 🍴 What we ordered & loved: 🦑 Octopus with Chana Dahi Expertly grilled — slightly charred on the outside, yet tender and springy. The dish is full of contrast: smoky octopus, mildly spicy red pepper, and slightly bitter kale. Clean and complex at the same time. 🦐 Sautéed Prawns with Fennel and Taramosalata Juicy prawns with a bold yet balanced spice mix. The thinly sliced green apple on top add a refreshing crunch that ties the whole dish together beautifully. 💬 In Conclusion: Ottolenghi is not just a place for vegetarians — it’s for anyone who appreciates bold flavour, clever ingredient pairings, and food that’s been thought through from plate to palate. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something both elegant and satisfying in London. 📌 Tip: Save room for dessert — their cake counter is legendary, and skipping it would be a true regret!

La fama di Ottolenghi è davvero meritata: una cucina vegetale interessante ma anche semplice, comprensibile, e soprattutto molto buona. Una nota di merito per lo staff premuroso e molto attento.
