NOPI is the sleeker side of Yotam Ottoleghi’s chain of successful Ottoleghi cafés. Following a Swedish, minialistic design with gold accents, this modern eatery certainly does not detract from its sister cafés. Its menu is predominately middle-eastern, with accents of Asian and Medeterrainian.
It menu, divided into Meat, Veggie and Fish, follow a fresh, no fuss theme. You can either choose a starter and main for yourself or become more sociable, and order sharing plates of Tapas style dishes. NOPI, although by now has a cookbook and is quite well known, its food and service is definitely not pretencious. The food, is also some of the better modern, fusion Tapas I’ve had.
