Lonely Planet review for Ottolenghi
This is the pick of Upper Street’s many eating options – a brilliantly bright, white space that’s worth a trip to see the eye-poppingly beautiful cakes and bread in the front deli alone. But get a table at this temple to good food and you’ll really appreciate it. At lunch you choose between the dishes spread out on the counter, while in the evening there’s á la carte dining, too, though so fanatical about ingredient quality are the chefs that the menu is not confirmed until 5pm. Weekend brunch here is fabulous, though you’ll usually have to wait for a table. Reservations are essential in the evenings.

Unique in London
therubyslippers recommends this,
There are a few Ottolenghis in London, and they all offer superb, fresh food - such as deliciously spiced salads with pomegranate seeds, mint and lemon. The front windows are usually groaning with huge meringues and cakes. You can take away if you're lucky enough to live close. Downsides - lack of space and seating (although the Islington branch is large), and quite pricey. But I think you get what you pay for, so I say, splash out.
