Being a huge fan of Ottolenghi’s cooking (We have 5 of his cookbooks at home, which are quite well used), we wanted to really check out the restaurant from when it opened. Being a vegetarian in the French part of Switzerland has become progressively better since I arrived here in 2016, but no experience has matched what we experienced at Ottolenghi’s.
My wife reserved the restaurant for my birthday. We order the Kimchi Gruyère fritters as a starter (not pictured) from Ottolenghi’s “Flavour” book and we were already blown away.
We ordered the Grilled Halloumi, Grilled Cucumber and Gaspacho with Charred tropea onions with Pita bread as appetisers and things just got better and better.
The main course of Roasted aubergine with chickpeas and Mushroom mixed grill elevated the level of the meal to another stratosphere.
Finally, the desert arrived and there was a special touch from the restaurant for my birthday. We had also order the chocolate and tahini fondant, which I kid you not, I cried upon eating because the sheer experience and the emotions it triggered.
We definitely recommend this restaurant. For me personally , this was a life defining moment at a restaurant. There’s my life before eating at Ottolenghi’s and there’s my life after eating at Ottolenghi’s.
Also, a big shoutout to my wife for organising this!❤️
We are eagerly awaiting these next menu change to come back and try the new options!
