NOPI
NOPI celebrates global flavours. It’s where pandan leaves meet pomegranate seeds, star anise meets sumac, and miso meets molasses. From the Middle East to the Far East, NOPI’s dishes are constantly changing, guided by the seasons and the creativity of our kitchen.
NOPI marked a new venture for us: our first full-service restaurant. It’s where our pantry expanded and we discovered new ways to create flavour. We serve lunch, pre theatre and dinner menus, with a low-intervention wine list and cocktails that change according to house shrubs and seasonal spices.
‘Elegant and convivial.’

Meet our team - Elaine, Head Chef
Elaine’s journey at Ottolenghi has spanned nearly nine years, during which time she has held various roles across the different restaurants and delis. It all began as a Kitchen Porter at Ottolenghi Belgravia, followed by a transition to Ottolenghi Spitalfields as a Commis Chef. Elaine went on to spend three years at Notting Hill, where she worked her way up from Chef de Partie to Sous Chef and eventually Head Chef. She later moved to Islington before being involved in the openings of our delis in Marylebone and Chelsea. She is now embarking on a new chapter as Head Chef at NOPI. Alongside this, she has had the opportunity to participate in events with renowned figures like Yotam Ottolenghi and Noor Murad in New York City for the New York City Wine and Food Festival, as well as in Ibiza.
Her roots trace back to Hong Kong, although she was born in the Philippines to parents from the Philippines and Canada. “Hong Kong holds a special place in my heart, with its vibrant city lights and diverse street food scene”. Elaine's family moved to London in 2002, and in 2015 she returned to Hong Kong to pursue her passion for cooking. Despite an academic background in Business Management, her true calling lay in culinary arts and hospitality. After convincing her parents, she attended the Global Academy of Culinary, Baking, and Pastry Arts in Manila. Ottolenghi became her workplace of choice upon her return to London, as she eagerly awaited her visa. It was a dream come true to start there the day after her arrival, especially considering her parents' admiration for Ottolenghi's work. Looking ahead, her aspiration is to open her own small restaurant in the coming years.
