Ottolenghi deserves all praises and compliments they ever received over the years from Guardian times to their little cafe/bistro branches.
I love the fact that it's not quite called a "restaurant" but more of a cafe feel where you can have a full dinner or a naughty cake and coffee anytime of the day.
I had their pear cake (baked in a square tin) and cafe latte (£8 with tip) while my friend Christina had their Beef with coriander mayo and Marinated Aubergine grill served with selection of breads and olive oil.
Their breads are out of this world especially the cornbread with chili. That was so good I spent some time searching the recipe and baking anything close to theirs became a bit of my recent obsession. Off course the olive oil quality is very very good.
The cake is just perfect.. wordlessly perfect. All the food as you can see when you choose over the counter instead of looking at any pictures on a menu or imagining are so loyal and even better than how it deliciously look.
Their branches are all located in well-desired posh areas and I just hope the quality of their food spread all over the country soon.
