Still the Best Display

 Ottolenghi's ROVI restaurant and take away cakes and salads in Fitzrovia continues to set the standard for eye-appealing display.

Hand Painted

 £20 hand painted (in Italy) napkins for sale at £20+ at Ottolenghi's new ROVI restaurant.  Cuts down on laundry costs and adds to the differentiation!

Fabulous Figbar

 Ex-Ottolenghi baker Jaime Garbutt has set up the Dessert Cafe Figbar in Norwich

 Rare to find this quality outside London @FigbarNorwich

Superb Salads

 Ottolenghi sells the following ingredients - no doubt the secret to their great salads.  Verjuice - the juice from unfermented grapes.   Dukkah of various seeds.

 Pomegranate Molasses

 Tahini

 Seeds for salads

 Lemon salt and Lemon Myrtle salt

Hail Yotam

 Still the best in my book for salad and pastry quality and presentation - the standard to judge all others by.

Alice in Wonderland Cake Tables

Great Cafes is launching a competition for the best 'buy with your eyes' cafe cake table inspired by a comment from foodie Jason Danciger, new F&B Director at the Garden Centre Group, at a recent garden centre catering conference of his wish to create "Alice in Wonderland" cake tables.  Email entries to me.  Still the best I have seen is Ottolenghi - who can do better?

Ace Display

Ottolenghi's flagship cafe in Islington - still No 1.

Ottolenghi's salad display - as good as their pastry presentation. Big, bold platters of glistening innovative salads at differing heights just selling themselves. Buy his books to get inspiration. Our clients are increasingly doing so and saying Ottolenghi is their benchmark. We agree.

Toasters on the Table

I tried this one years ago in a City Corney & Barrow and the traders loved it.  This is Ottolenghi's Islington flagship cafe at breakfast.  Hot toast the way you like it - great idea.

Salad Bars have Moved On

Large platters of interesting combinations dressed to serve - salads have moved on from iceberg and coleslaw.  Check out Ottolenghi and his cookbooks.
