London Takeaways

21-22 Warwick Street Soho, London, West London, W1B 5NE

NOPI at 21-22 Warwick Street in Soho W1 is Yotam Ottolenghi's restaurant — the larger, more formal dining room complement to the Ottolenghi deli-cafes. NOPI stands for North of Piccadilly. Hardens praises it as "a brilliant expression of Ottolenghi's vegetable-forward, Middle Eastern-influenced cooking in a spacious, elegant setting." The menu takes the Ottolenghi philosophy — vegetables as heroes, spices used with precision, Middle Eastern and North African influences alongside European technique — and applies it to a fuller restaurant experience. Signature dishes include the burrata with charred baby leeks, slow-cooked tomatoes with labneh, and prawn with burnt aubergine. The ground-floor bar offers a concise menu of Ottolenghi snacks for walk-ins. The restaurant opened in 2011 and the all-day format makes it suitable for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Available for dine-in at 21-22 Warwick Street, Soho W1B. Phone 020 7494 9584. Open from 8am daily. Own website: ottolenghi.co.uk/nopi.

35-37 Heddon Street Mayfair, London, West London, W1B 4BR

Sabor at 35-37 Heddon Street in Mayfair W1 is Nieves Barragán Mohacho's celebrated Spanish restaurant — a one Michelin star journey through Spain's culinary heritage. Nieves worked at Barrafina for a decade before opening Sabor in 2018 with GM Josè Etura. The restaurant is split across two floors: the ground floor counter for spontaneous tapas (croquetas, tortilla, cured meats), and the first floor El Asador for the formal Castilian wood-fired menu centred on the suckling pig that must be pre-ordered. Hot Dinners calls Sabor "a restaurant everyone wants to try, and once they've been are immediately plotting a return." The Infatuation: "luscious seafood rice, tender lamb sweetbreads, and elegant small plates." Time Out includes it in the best restaurants in London. In 2025 Nieves opened Legado in Shoreditch, praised as possibly her greatest opening yet.
