Harden's survey result
Summary
Food writer Yotam Ottolenghi’s “excellent” Soho flagship is a full-service restaurant, unlike the nine café-delis that bear his name – allowing him to parade his Middle East-with-global- influences cuisine on a more formal stage. He comes up trumps on most counts, although sometimes staff “could be more attentive”.
Summary
The cuisine at influential food writer Yotam Ottolenghi’s Soho flagship is – like that at his deli-diners – rooted in the flavours of the Middle East, backed up by other influences from further afield. Many guests say they “loved every minute of the experience”, but so-so service helped take the gloss off a couple of meals here this year. Top Menu Tip – “the crispy mushrooms are amazing”.
Summary
The Soho flagship of Israeli writer/chef Yotam Ottolenghi is conceived as a step up from his deli-diners, and the food is generally considered “wonderful”. But a note of disappointment has crept in with complaints along the lines of “bad service” or “overpriced vegetables and wine” – “I really don’t know what all the fuss is about”.
Summary
“Unique food to die for” from a “very inventive Middle Eastern-inspired menu” inspires followers of Yotam Ottolenghi and the acclaimed Israeli chef’s “bustling” Soho flagship: “each plate is heaven” and “you may discover some new wines” along the way. As is so often the case with his ventures, though, the pricing gives nothing away – “the food’s great, but I didn’t award full marks as it’s not outstanding value for money”.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
