Visited the bakery outlet from the famous chef in the lovely Notting Hill area. Fantastic selection of baked goods on display. Had an Almond and Orange Flourless Cake. Couldn't fault on taste but it is pricey. Coffees take a while as they're made downstairs and have to be brought up. Till also went down but luckily was ahead of a long queue.
Amazing, amazing food-some of the best I had in London! Went in because of their beautiful baked goods but went for 3 take away boxes of their savory items and I was so happy with them! Everything tasted fresh and was so filling. Staff is very kind as well and a nice assortment of snacks and spices to try!
Ottolenghi has one of the best pastries in their bakery selection. I’m a huge fan of their almond croissant and cookies as well as other pastries. If you’re looking to try a nicer almond croissant try Ottolenghi and you wouldn’t be disappointed.
Always a pleasant experience with delightful staff and delicious food. I often go just for the potato bread, for consuming at home. It nicely complements, and is indeed complemented by, the Hagen coffee shop next to it. It is not for eating in although it does have a little space outside.
The pain au chocolat, as someone who grew up in Paris, is among the best in London
I don’t often leave reviews, but this was such a wonderful experience that I felt I should.
I popped into Ottolenghi Notting Hill recently, having not been to an Ottolenghi for years, and I honestly wondered why I’d left it so long. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. I had a selection of salads, with the roasted aubergine being a particular highlight. Everything looked so tempting that I struggled to decide what to have. I also treated myself to the rum fondant cake, which was exceptional and every bit as good as it looked.
A lovely young lady called Eliza helped me choose, and I actually asked for her name afterwards because she was so friendly, polite, and helpful. It was busy when I visited, but nothing felt rushed (which is rather rare these days!). I left thinking what a thoroughly enjoyable lunch it had been and shall certainly be returning.
