Ottolenghi Richmond

You're walking into controlled chaos—the kind that makes you immediately hungry. Display cases overflow with jewel-toned salads, roasted vegetables still steaming, and pastries that look too good to eat (but you will). The Richmond location has that same Ottolenghi DNA: bold flavours, meticulous presentation, and an infectious sense of fun about food. It's brilliant for a casual lunch where you pile your plate high with whatever catches your eye, or you can settle in for a proper meal. The vibe is refreshingly unpretentious despite the evident care lavished on every dish—you're surrounded by locals rather than tourists, which makes the whole experience feel genuinely neighbourly.
