Ottolenghi, Islington

With a window display as amazing as this... who can resist dropping by for a quick bite! 


It was very packed.  I personally don't really like long benches.. 
Had to wait for a while for a table.  
It gives you no privacy at all.  

We were there for lunch.  All the food was cold.  
For roughly 14 quid -  you can choose 
- one main course out of 5? choices - beef , salmon, chicken.. quoinoa burger, quiche,
2 side dishes - e.g. roasted fennel/ rice/ butternut squash etc
Everything perfectly seasoned

A lot of nice cold side dishes.  perfectly seasoned.  

We weren't very hungry so we shared one between the two of us with a bread platter - which was lovelyyy 
Love their corn bread
We had  Seared English fillet of beef with sour cream, mustard, horseradish, tahini and rocket sauce as main and for side dish, we chose
Roasted aubergine with spicy nuts and seeds, Iranian lime yoghurt, harissa and pomegranate
  - Roasted kohlrabi, wintergreens and cavolo nero with chilli, fish sauce, coriander and sesame seeds

Fresh mint tea and macciato 

THIS WAS SOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDD
Passionfruit Meringue tart. 
Very soft and rich passionfruit curd.  Thin crispy pastry. 
Soft meringue
Unfortunately, I had to share this tiny tart with my husband..haha
I could have finished a few of them by myself
