AnastasiaJanuary 15, 2015All the cakes are amazing, but lemon and mascarpone tart is my personal favourite.
Healthy tasty salads and breakfast, unhealthy tasty cakes and pastries.
Best salads and yummy desserts. Get the shakshouka eggs for breakfast.
Mathew WilsonDecember 31, 2015Believe the hype - don't be put off by some of the slightly distant and rude seeming staff on arrival.
Rosie JonesAugust 5, 2013The service is a nightmare. Best time to go is on a sunny day, get a takeaway lunch and escape the madness.
Manny KrantzSeptember 10, 2017Many don't realise, but it's also quite good for quick and cheap takeaway!
Christopher KnightAugust 4, 2017Really. Really. Good. Food. Tasty but also very healthy. Service was great too.
Andy AshburnerJune 22, 2010I'd second the chargrilled brocolli. In fact, this has to be one of the best restaurants I've been to. Find yourseld nearby definitely brave the queues. Awesome!
Mish'al Al-SaqerAugust 26, 2017Ottolenghi where you can order Shakshuka and pancake at the same place.
Time Out LondonMarch 27, 2012Yotam Ottolenghi’s flagship café-brasserie in Islington remains as popular as ever. You can’t book a table for breakfast, so people queue. Read more- Gary SimmonsMay 27, 2013Delicious food but very expensive! Save it for a special occasion (when you're not paying).

Diana JanickiNovember 6, 2009The chargrilled brocoli salad with chili is fantastic (healthy). The kahlua cream filled chocolate mini cakes are to die for. (sinful) And the passionfruit cream filled Meringue tarts are cosmic Read more
Dee FoodinHandJanuary 10, 2016Lovely mix of flavours on offer. Even simplest of dishes are delicious!
A BNovember 30, 2014For breakfast, I ordered the French toast which isn't really "on brand". It was more savory and eggy than sweet and indulgent. It was fine but I wouldn't order it again. Excellent service though.
Katerina KerrSeptember 21, 2015Lovely food. As you would expect from ottolenghi! Full of flavours and textures
Adam KemenyMay 2, 2011Fantastic food, fresh and healthy. Wish we had more of the tuna. Two pieces seemed a little small portion wise. Wine list seemed pretty expensive
Jordi LlobetDecember 4, 2014I thought that would be better. Nice brunch but nothing special. I recommend just the cakes, amazing.
JoycieSeptember 29, 2017The food is always lovely! However the staff are quite arrogant and appear to just want you to pay and leave- PDT BlogDecember 3, 2016My fave on upper street! Don't leave without trying the beef pastille, octopus and tuna, you won't regret it. Fabulous selection of wines. The complementary corn bread with olive oil is to die for!!
- Allan SheriffJanuary 30, 2015Totally overrated...Just loads of beetroots that looked great, tasted uninteresting. Lamb was delicious.
FatemahDecember 27, 2013Don't miss there barnch and breakfast they have shakshoka ..v-healthy yummy .
Harriet RuffNovember 13, 2015Come here for a speedy lunch in the week. The salad is to die for and their breads are excellent. Plenty of choice for any vegetarians or gluten free fighters. Communal table is fun and quick!
Jef WegNovember 1, 2014Been here twice, french toast was good but the muesli and yogurt was much better for breakfast
Nat MJune 24, 2017The vegetables dishes from the counter were the highlights especially the aubergine. Seats not ideal as had there wasn't much room.
Tammy Cowan - LearnDecember 23, 2011Love their cornbread - I've been trying to duplicate it at home for years. Cheeky Ottolenghi didn't put the recipe in his cook book.
Kalilia ZehuditMarch 2, 2013Delicious desserts, especially the passion fruit tart. However, I always find the staff rude.
At lunch time I always have the beef. Anything with aubergine or butternut is delicious. If I pop in for breakfast the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon is without a doubt the best I've ever had
DianeAugust 14, 2013Fave picks tonight were the chocolate bailey cake & the passion fruit meringue tart hmmm.
