NOPI - Downstairs in City of London, Westminster

This is high-quality fast food. The kitchen routinely churns out the master's aromatic dishes, mostly well-made, but like an assembly line. You're diabetic. Reserve a table months in advance. There's an apple for dessert. Despite the good food, after two visits, I wouldn't eat here again. The high prices don't match the overall experience. Maybe the boss should eat at his place once in a while.

WONDERFUL! Just don't sit downstairs!

The place was packed so we had a “sharing” table in the basement. Not ideal as we had some noisy neighbours. Food was tasty and we ate till we were full. Service seemed a bit too keen to get everyone out quickly.

Excellent cuisine, especially starters and desserts. A little salty note all the same…

Excellent cuisine, rich in flavors and spices. The bill remains quite steep but nothing unusual in the heart of London for such a fashionable chef

Great earing, veryfriendly service

We booked a fable for two and had a wonderful experience from start to end. The staff was lovely and efficient and contributed to the warm atmosphere of the place. The dishes offered a large spectrum of original flavours from the starters to the dessert and the cocktails were delicious. We could tell there was attention to detail both in the service and in the food. We will certainly come back.

Great service and excellent food. It was my wife’s 60th birthday but I hadn’t mentioned it at the time of the reservation but the waitress brought her a sorbet on the house with happy birthday written in chocolate the plate. A lovely touch without even asking for it.

We had an amazing time at Nopi. Already fans of Ottolenghi cook books we had a very nice meal. service was just what it needs to feel comfortable and well attended. Cocktails were very nice and the food was as expected the tastes of Ottolenghi cuisine. Ox tongue and duck were perfect and puddings were original as well. maybe the wine was not that great, I made a better choice having another cocktail.

Fabulous service sat at the bar - Fabio?! Is GREAT, shall be returning. V good for GF options too.

We had a fantastic evening at the restaurant. Can fully recommend. We used the contact service, where Clodagh was an outstanding contact with highest service.

Delicious! The food is served quickly. After two hours you are outside again. That's a shame.

I previously had a great experience at NOPI but was disappointed this time. Service was super spotty. Lots of staff standing around but not serving or looking at the guests. We were downstairs and it felt like they didn’t want to serve our table or that we were in a different restaurant. It took over 20 minutes to get a taster of a wine before ordering. We ordered the food while waiting & the arancini came out within minutes of ordering which was strange & we hadn’t even got the drinks yet. I put my allergy on the booking yet they still asked about it & then took time to get the gluten free menu. When asking for advice for the food quantity the waiter was super unbothered and unhelpful. Very disappointing as it ruined the overall experience. Some of the food was still super delicious like the fritter & the chicken.

Delicious ! Enjoyed the experience, the service and the food! More than recommended

Another very good restaurant in the Ottolenghi family, but a bit disappointing quantity-quality-price ratio, the prices being quite high for small plates and inexpensive basic ingredients. We really liked the ground floor room where we were seated, the common table in the basement lacks charm.

Good food as any ottolenghi branch, but service was poor. Waitress said 20mins for lamb which was substantially longer and came out medium rare, it came out with our veggies but we sent lamb back to cook. Asked how long more veggies would take to eat with the lamb which she replied a few minutes. By the time we finished our lamb, asked the women about the veggies we ordered They then arrived when we had finished everything… Manager did offer desert but too full - no comparison to the other restaurants!

We were a large group who had booked for a 30th birthday celebration. Loved the food, the service was great, the accommodations for those with dietary requirements were fantastic and I didn’t feel like we were rushed at all! A great experience overall, I’d definitely recommend here for large group celebrations.

I was looking forward to discovering Yotam Ottololenghi's cuisine, but I was generally disappointed. Since his specialty is vegetables, we opted for four vegetarian dishes with two appetizers and a dessert. I was expecting gourmet dishes, with elaborate and surprising flavors, but these are more tapas-style dishes with the occasional pleasant surprise. I liked the eggplant, for example, although it wasn't exceptional. The service was efficient (but not very friendly). We paid around 70 pounds per person with a glass of wine, which even for London was expensive. Overall, disappointed, so... a shame...

Lovely restaurant, worth the money, nice cocktails and the best focaccia. The rhubarb dessert is amazing. The servers were also super friendly and it just felt relaxed in there. I understand why it is always busy!

Really good food, all dishes were very tasty and interesting. Perhaps not as good as we found ROVI to be. Seating by the bar was ok but we generally found the restaurant lacked ambience.

We’re an hour into our bar seat reservation. The food is amazing, however, service and ambiance is mixed. We’re seated at the far left of the bar which seems to be intended to be the drink order processing section converted to two paying seats. As I attempted to read the menu, drink order tickets were placed on top of the menu as they kept up with the wine pours. In front of us is the area where food arrives from the dumb waiter, which was kind of cool, however the same area was also used as silverware prepping station which smelt of dishwasher and clanged in a way that hurt my ears. Food is great and on par with our expectations. Our server also did their best. We also passed the community table downstairs and while the kitchen would be cool, if you were unfortunately seated you might be looking at storage boxes instead. Maybe this was an unfortunate experience, but it felt reminiscent of a restaurant riding on its notability and not evolving with a hospitality mindset. Final word, if you decide to come book the dining room.

Very good overall. The sharing appetizers were excellent. Especially the zucchini 👍🏻. The sea bass was excellent. The risotto was passable 😟. Little rice 😳 a shame 🤪 The bill is steep. But hey, still no Ottolenghi in sight in Paris

Great atmosphere, food and service was good, however ultimately for the price you could get better elsewhere. Nothing so memorable I could not find it elsewhere

4 of us sat downstairs and loved it. Each dish was delicious and the waiter was great with his recommendations. It always surprises me how much this food costs, but the quality is excellent

NOPI, the flagship Yotam 0ttolenghi restaurant just north of Piccadilly Circus, in central London, is such creative and friendly place, my wife and I ate there three times in one day on our last trip to London. If you don’t yet know about his food, you can explore it in glorious picture form in any of his seven outstanding coffee table-size cookbooks.

This hurts me to write as I love Ottolenghi… sadly, Nopi didn’t live up to the unique flavourful experiences which Ottolenghi has to offer. The food was quite bland, specially for the price. Left disappointed. Nice atmosphere and good service, but will rather dine at the other sister restaurants

A very interesting menu, amazing food. Everything tastes so fresh, would recomend.

We had high expectations but unfortunately they were very disappointing. I would not recommend it. The reception was cold, the atmosphere ordinary just like the dishes we had. The tables were covered with paper. Looked poor. The service walked around chaotically but had no eye for tables that needed attention. But what was most disappointing were the dishes. These were just like the atmosphere very ordinary with minimal taste experience. The portions are very small and very overpriced. I mean 2 strips of aubergine for 25e is overpriced in my opinion. After visiting nopi we were still hungry and so we went to the pub. There are better restaurants that serve this kind of dishes. The positive point is that you get a bottle of water "for free". Of course, with such prices that is a lot to pay for. Too bad because we are very fond of the books of the owner.

Food was small and was ok in flavour but over priced. Would have been ok if the service was better, opened late and when opened, they unlocked doors and walked away - top class service? waiters reachers over people to collect plates, lacks basic waitering skills. Table of 6 spent around £215 for brunch menu, were rushed out too. My opinion, not worth it.

Fabulous food, great service. We are at the bar which as good as getting a table. Everything on the menu looks delicious. But you got to get the cheese cake and the sea bass

The red wine that we ordered (Cap de Nit) was awful. Very tart. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Thankfully the Manager was excellent in how he treated us. He offered us a different wine but in the end we had other drinks and were not charged for the wine.Please take this wine off the menu because it detracts from the excellent food and service.

Not sure how any of the food is considered edible. We ordered a variety of food and every single item was absolutely a waste of money and tasteless. Server did not ask once how any of the meals were. Waters were not refilled and dirty dishes were left at the table for far too long. We left hungry!

This was the best restaurant we had during our week in London. Have recommended to multiple friends and family.

Food was sensational, friendly helpful staff and nice atmosphere

This spot is everything you’d expect from an Ottolenghi restaurant—bold flavours, beautifully plated dishes, and a menu that makes you want to order everything. And honestly… everything we had was incredible!! Highly recommend!!

Massive letdown, service was poor and gave us 10 minutes to order even though we arrived at the booked time, food was a big letdown. I have the NOPI cookbook and the recipes didn't come out as well as other Ottolenghi books, on visiting NOPI it looks like it's because the food wasn't very good.Provided feedback but they couldn't be bothered to respond to it.

Food was phenomenal and the drinks were so good even the mocktail!

WHEN THE PASSION IS GONE, We had a great dinner on a weekday. Food & service on par. Nevertheless it felt like the whole place was running on an automatic pilot, well managed both in the back and front, but missing vibe and passion.

Everything was fantastic! We ate our way through the menu and will be back.

Food was fair to good. Service was acceptable. Four of us eating. My partner's manager from the US paid; I don't know the final bill. I'd like to share my three thoughts: Our guest's Prosecco was served in a wine glass, my wine glass was cracked but I decided not to make a fuss of this fact in front of our guests and space around our table, next to the window, was tight - service consisted of passing drink and food through / between our guests to my partner and I closest to the window, interrupting conversation.

Literally one of the best meals I've ever had. It was storytelling on a plate. The parsnips took me to a rich family friend at Christmas. The beetroot and goat cheese took me to a fresh cold morning in the Swiss Alps. I couldn't fault it. Except the courgettes were a bit too rich, I would add more zest. Staff were very chill and not too friendly. Not too loud thank GOD. I could hear myself, my party, the music, and ambience. In a word: excellence.

Food was delicious but not always hot. Coffee was NOT tasty

Amazing lunch! We ordered many different things to share, of which every dish was exquisite! The risotto wasn't quite to my taste, but the others loved it. We went veggie only, which makes me want to come back and try some of the meat and fish dishes. It was very busy, and I think the service could have been a bit more attentive, but they were polite and friendly. I've been to Rovi before, which also has been incredible. It's obviously a treat but worth it. It tastes absolutely delicious, the presentation is beautiful, the restaurant is stunning, and with all these incredible fresh ingredients, you even feel as if you've fuled your body with all the good stuff.

Very delicious food, Mediterranean with Lebanese touches. Every time I go to London I come to eat, their chef Ottolenghi is one of my favorites. As for the service, they are dry but efficient. I think the mandatory 12% tip that is included in the ticket is excessive. Anyway, I'll keep coming back because I love it.

Absolutely love our lunch visit at NOPI! The food is amazing, with bold flavours and a variety of textures. Highly recommend trying the pork belly, the seabass (main dish), the tiger prawns and chickpea tofu. I'd say this place has a more Mediterranean taste than ROVI (both are equally great and have their own unique goodness). The service is super attentive. Also the Malva dessert cake is a must! Can't wait to come back.

It's a very luxurious place to eat and refresh. I am very amazed

We loved it here! Anastasia looked after us, she’s fantastic, professional, knowledgeable and gave the absolute best advice “block, report and never hear from again” it was perfection! Thank you!

Creative blend of flavors and cooking techniques. Small plates allowed for tasting of different dishes. Price slight on the higher side but worth the exploration of a well known chef’s work. Busy restaurant and service is on the slow side . Servers are however friendly and knowledgeable. Not an everyday restaurant but recommended if seeking a food adventure!

Exceptional service. Second time I’ve been. Food was better first time around.

The dishes to share were all beautifully presented. The taste is also wonderful and great aromas. The service was courteous and friendly. We felt completely comfortable.

One of the most delicious meals I've ever eaten. Amazing service and stunning bathroom.

The food at NOPI was simply outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented, bursting with bold and balanced flavors. Ottolenghi’s signature style was evident in every bite, with creative combinations that felt both surprising and perfectly harmonious. From the vibrant mezzes to the richly layered mains, each plate was a true delight. Verdict: Absolutely worth the hype.

Great service, all the menu was well explained and recommendations were excellent. Would definitely go back for a special occasion!

What a joy to be able to taste Mr Ottolenghi's cuisine and his dishes full of flavor and spices!

Really, really loved the atmosphere of this dining room! White and clean, but felt homey and well decorated at the same time. Service was really great, it felt like a real treat to dine here. Also gluten free menu is very extensive. Favourite dishes were the duck and aubergine.

The restaurant and food do not feel pretentious, which I personally like. The presentation of the food is thought out, however the cooking tastes nostalgic and homely, like something a family member would make. The stuffed cabbage (my favourite) was gorgeous even though it sounded like the least appealing thing on the menu. The only negative was that the prawns were slightly over cooked. And were were quite cold sitting by the window at the front.

Great night sitting at the bar, watching all the staff move and work in sequence, never rushed, always moving with purpose. Our server at the bar with the dreadlocks was everything I like in a server, chatting like friends but not overbearing, everything he recommended was spot on and the mixologist was lovely as were his cocktails. Always prefer sitting at the bar when staff like that. Bathrooms are wild.

We spent an exceptional evening at NOPI, where every detail was close to perfection. From the moment we entered, we were charmed by the warm and elegant atmosphere of the place. The service was impeccable: attentive, smiling and very good advice. As for the cuisine, a real festival of flavors! Each dish was a perfect balance between originality and finesse, with products of remarkable quality. Special mention for the Valdeon cheesecake which simply amazed us. The combinations of tastes and textures are as bold as they are mastered. NOPI is much more than a restaurant, it is a true sensory experience. An essential address in London for lovers of refined gastronomy. We will come back without hesitation! Thank you to the whole team for all your attention!

Superb! The food was amazing, it's really hard to describe the magic they do with the vegetables. Service was spot on and the place is really beautiful.

Absolutely delicious food and sharing plates

I've been a longtime fan of Ottolenghi's food but our table was overall underwhelmed by our meal here. We ordered 9 different savoury dishes off the menu to share plus desserts. The cod dish was excellent but the others just didn't wow at all. 2 of the 3 meat dishes we ordered had tough over cooked meat. I ordered a full bodied wine - it was mediocre. Gluten free party member was very well catered for and given clear menu guidance. Loved the restaurant space: its interior design and vibe.

Very expensive for what it is. The waiters are pushy and try to encourage you to buy lots of small plates but we had 4 small plates and a side and that was fine. The tables are tiny and super close together so it’s hard to fit all your plates on the table and we couldn’t hardly have a conversation because the table next to us were so close. Nice but I won’t be going again - not worth the hype

Decent dinner but nothing special and definitely not what one would expect from such a renown establishment. We were not welcomed very kindly and our table wasn’t ready at the reserved time. The staff serving us was very kind and extremely attentive. Several dishes were extremely salty, some of which were taken off the bill without hesitation.

Brilliant food and great service. Couldn't fault it.

We have cooked many dishes out do the Ottolenghi books, and this place being a bit more technical than the books delivered, I also appreciated the Short menu as it helps with selection and ensures a well delivered dish. Burrata: excellent. Octopus; Devine, Cod: delicious. Fried mushrooms: a highlight believe it or not. We sampled 4 desserts along with 4 mocktails and they were absolutely fantastic.

Delicious! Loved all the vegetarian options, even though I'm not a vegetarian.

Excellent restaurant from the chain of the famous chef Ottolenghi. Its imprinting can be seen in every dish, the Veg choice is highly appreciated. Amazing flavors! Price quite high also due to unfavorable exchange rate but still super happy. Advised!

We paid over 200 euros per person for food which was “just fine”. It was absolutely not worth anywhere near 200 euros pp, which is normally the price you pay for a (very good) Michelin star restaurant. Besides that, we did not like the ambiance and it was very very packed and loud. Unfortunately we had high hopes which were not met. Felt like a pity on new years eve

The dishes aren’t consistently good and there are a few misses. It was Christmas Eve and a celebratory mid day meal with relatives. The male greeter at door who was Italian was perfect at his job: charming, warm and ebullient. Our service staff was just ok. Seriously, just OK. We ordered a wide selection and many courses but NOTHING JUST STOOD OUT AS WOW. Unfortunately the restrooms are downstairs. Was it a special place for a special meal on a special holiday: maybe NOT. Are we fans of the MAGIC O, well we have his cookbooks. Today was just a regular so so meal but sadly I WANTED MORE.

Very special restaurant. The ambience is lovely, I adore the dimmed lighting—great for a date night. Dishes are delicious and there are some interesting wines to choose from.

I loved Yotam’s restaurant. There are great classics of his cuisine in the dishes with blends of flavors that only he can master. We clearly loved everything about it. It was delicious with great service, pleasant and efficient despite the crowds. I definitely recommend that you make a reservation, because it is rather full, and there is a wait even for a 3rd service. We tested several starters and dishes but on the December menu I recommend the beets with goat cheese. However, I am not a fan of this vegetable but it was great and as a dish the sea bass was excellent. Even the bread with its little cup of olive oil was good. If you want to eat at a table or as a couple, remember to book on the ground floor otherwise you have a large table d'hôte in the basement facing the rather nice kitchen.

Tourist trap. We are fans of Ottolenghi but we were all disappointed - the dishes were not hot enough (lukewarm at best), flavor balance was dubious (one dish for instance had a great piece of cod but it was completely spoiled by piles of cardamom and coriander corns), portions are insufficient and prices are ridiculously high. Pleasant atmosphere but nothing special (paper cloth on the table for instance). We were sat by the front door and had to put our coats back on because we were too cold. Service was very good, but not sufficient to save the experience. Never again.

Very disappointed with this restaurant, I expected to find a buffet in view of the advertising photos... Or... extravagant prices for what is on your plate. 6 pounds for a small handful of spicy nuts...5 unfortunate little pieces of grilled carrots for 7.8 pounds etc... The carrots were not grilled but partly charred, the same goes for the skin of the chicken which gave the sauce a not-so-great taste. and which did not allow me to define what were the ingredients which made up the sauce, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth all day and I was not dazzled by the flavors so praised in this type of cuisine …I was so happy to taste this “…fashion effect” cuisine??? I regret not having reacted...this is the first time that I have posted a review for a restaurant because I am in the food industry myself and I don't like to demolish but here!!! a little positive touch: the super pleasant carrot apple ginger juice and the very interesting dessert.

1. I have all of Ottolenghi's cooking books and I think he's one of the best chefs in the world. 2. 7 years ago we visited NOPI and enjoyed it so much. It was fantastic and this was the reason why we came back. Due to lockdown and other reasons we could not come earlier. 3. The staff is really friendly and helpful This was the foreword. 4. Our visit on Dec.12th was a pure disappointment. Last time we sat downstairs, which we enjoyed, this time on the groundfloor, a noisy place with the atmosphere of a fast food location. A poor staff who has to work in such a noisy environment. Last time the menue offered crispy salads this time the greens were poorly accompaining some of the dishes. The nibbles were ok, average. The bread crust was not crispy at all and everything a bit chewy. You should change the baker or not let rest the bread too long in humid air. The courses brussel sprouts (good), blue cheese souffle (average, far too sweet in some parts, killing the blue cheese taste), the pork belly and the ox tongue were served at the same time. The latter two dishes were luke warm. We told the (very friendly) waitress/waiter to send it back because of the temperature. It was not something pleasent to eat. They took it back and we got a hot pork belly and again a luke warm tongue. We did not complain anymore because we saw the kitchen was probably too busy to react. Anyhow the pork belly was a desaster - only fat and nothing else. Having eaten many pork bellies in my life, I know it should be something special - a melting delight in the mouth and the crackling should be beautiful brown, crispy and a texture adventure. Not something pale, hard and with a chewy finish. The accompaining sauce tasted like convenience sauce - I'm sure it wasn't but it tasted like that - quite an art to do it the other way round. A tongue can be luke warm but then it should be served e.g. on hot lentils or a crispy salad and not with greasy potato straw and some lettuce leaves. Because the staff was really friendly we did not want to complain again because we already knew we won't come again. The overall atmosphere was more 'come, eat, leave and be glad you got a table at NOPIs' and not 'enjoy your evening, relax and try to concentrate on your meal with all your senses'. Maybe people think 'if I do not like something of Ottolenghi's cuisine, it's because I have a bad taste or I do not know how to enjoy it' or the people simply accept what they got, how they got and where they got it. Or 'I pay a lot, the restaurant is booked out all the time - it can't be bad'. I'm sorry but things like this should not happen in such a restaurant. Of course there can be good days and less good days. But this time we saw, analizing the whole concept, that this was not a bad day, it was the basic structure of the restaurant. The next day we went to another star rated restaurant and we had a fantastic evening with fantastic food in a very comfortable and not dezibel filled atmosphere. Sorry.

Nopi is one of my favourite restaurants in London, it never disappoints.

We have always wanted to have a meal at NOPI and this was booked as part of a birthday meal. It was very busy as expected for a Saturday lunchtime. We had a table in the window, which when split into tables for 2 can be close. Two separate couples were offered the table next to us and asked to move as they were vertically on our table. I think it was a table for 4 split in half. Service was ok but it did take a good 20 minutes for us to be offered a drink. The food was fantastic and full of flavour. If you like Mediterranean food then worth a visit, just expect it to be busy.

Overpriced with a poor dining experience.

We love this restaurant. A perfect place for a special occasion. Great food , wine and atmosphere! The only comment about mirrored toilets , I’m always lost , first can’t find entrance then exit 🤣

I only tasted the sea salt but not the actual food.

First time here, won’t be the last! Every mouthful was a joy to eat! I’m vegetarian so can’t comment on meat dishes but this place knows how to make superb vegetarian dishes that celebrate every taste of natural produce. The service was outstanding and we enjoyed a fabulous meal pre a theatre trip. The cheesecake small plate is to die for!!!

Another well established restaurant, with the clear signature of Ottolenghi. Food was amazing. Restroom can be overwheling ;-)

Such a disappointment. The food was lacking imagination. Most of the meals were below average and did not meet our expectations. I guess it’s another over hyped restaurant by a TV chef. Will never return or recommend.

I really loved the meal we had here! Really original dishes with amazing flavors, I wanted to try them all!

It's my second time at Nopi and loved it as much as the first time. However....There were 3 of us and 2 people don't particularly like spicy food. A lot of the dishes were quite spicy for them, it would have been nice to have seen that on the menu as it wasn't clear. it's only a small thing but would have made a big difference to them.

Exquisite and delicious food! Nice presentation. Good atmosphere.

I highly recommend this restaurant. Simple ingredients for an excellent meal. The service was very good! Their wine selection is really very good. On the other hand, there is no need for salt crystals on the bread.

Restaurant worthy of the quality and reputation of this great chef. The staff is very pleasant, accommodating, welcoming. Everything was perfect from the cocktail to the dessert. Thank you for the candle for my birthday.

Terrible service and mediocre food. Small portions with a lack of flavour. Prices beyond the quality of food. Furthermore an incompetent waitress spilled a cocktail in my lap. The manager promised a lot but followed through on nothing. I would recommend fallow as much tastier similarly priced alternative.

Highly recommend this restaurant.

Very noisy but then it was very busy. My friend and I really had a great time. The food was excellent and as a coeliac there was still plenty of choice for me.

Great food, rushed and rude service. The server actually threw silverware down on the table when we asked him for additional clean silverware.

Disappointed! I decided to come to NOPI for my birthday dinner. The traffic made us 20 mins late unfortunately, but after 2 unanswered phone calls, we managed to let them know and they gracefully held our booking for us. The food was beautiful! Flavour combinations were perfectly matched just like I had seen & learnt from Yottolam’s masterclass. We cook a lot from his cookbooks at home in New Zealand. The octopus was beautiful, the pork, burrata salad, were all super tasty! The most disappointing part was the customer service. We were rushed through our dinner. When we arrived and were being seated, the maitre’d told us she would let us know if we had just 2 hours to eat our meal, or could we stay a little longer and enjoy our dinner?! We were still enjoying our mains, we hadn’t heard if we could stay past the 2 hours or not, suddenly the maitre’d returned, put the dessert menus in front of us and never mentioned ‘we would like the table returned by a certain time’. We had just ordered another bottle of wine and still had half to finish! Communication was terrible! We felt rushed and that we were a hassle! Food is expensive but delicious, but the service from the team let the night down. Would have purchased a signed cookbook to take home. Not as I had hoped for.

Decent vegan and plant based options. Relaxed atmosphere. Fun spot with reliable food.

Very disappointed. Food underwhelming. We shared 5 dishes as advised way too much food! All plates were very salty and luke warm. Very expensive and not good value. I cannot recommend. Food was bland and not what I was expecting.

Amazing experience !!! The front of house staff were very welcoming and helpful. The food was incredible and full of flavours .cant wait to be back again 😊

Excellent food but unfortunately a waiter who seemed irritated from the start. He turned out to be very unpleasant in his words and attitudes. This took away from the enjoyment of our meal.

Top cuisine, good service - I think the wine selection is really overpriced, even for London, at least when it comes to the quality of the wines!!

We visited NOPI for a family 70th birthday and had a fantastic experience. Firstly the front of house and waiting staff were very accommodating for our newborn, warm and really knowledgeable about the menu. Then the food, our only problem was that it was all so good it was hard to pick our favourite. It was made even more special when chef Neil brought up an extra dessert off the menu which was a special touch. We'd highly recommend visiting and looking forward to coming back again in the near future.

Nopi London: A Culinary Gem I managed to snag a last-minute reservation at Nopi and ended up at the bar counter. Being on my own, I didn’t mind at all—it turned out to be a great spot to watch the action unfold. The food, as always, was phenomenal. Ottolenghi’s creative approach to mixing textures and flavors is unmatched, resulting in dishes that are both surprising and deeply satisfying. Every bite felt like a thoughtful exploration of ingredients, crafted with precision and flair. For me, Nopi is an absolute must-visit when in London, whether you’re a fan of Ottolenghi’s work or simply love exceptional food. Warm service, a buzzing atmosphere, and unforgettable dishes make it a standout experience every time.

Current favorite restaurant in London. With a very nice toilet 😃
