Quick info
About Ottolenghi Bicester Village
Ottolenghi Bicester Village is a restaurant on Pingle Drive, set inside the Bicester Village shopping outlet as a stop for visitors between stores. The menu moves from breakfast and pastries through to lunch and dinner plates, with chicken shawarma and a lamb dish served with a creamy sauce and beans among the options, and some chicken prepared to halal standards. Dogs are welcome in the space. The kitchen carries the broader Ottolenghi approach of vegetable-led, Mediterranean-influenced plates, with rotating daily specials alongside the core menu. It functions as a sit-down restaurant with counter service at the register, and the room takes walk-ins throughout the day. As part of the outlet's dining line-up, it sits alongside other cafés and restaurants serving shoppers and tourists visiting the surrounding boutiques.

Customer Review Summary
Warm, attentive service is the most consistently praised element across visits, with several diners singling out specific servers by name (anonymized here as front-of-house staff) for being friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and quick to look after guests. The food earns strong marks too, with the lamb dish (crispy, balanced with creamy beans and vegetables), the chicken shawarma, and the breakfast pastries most often singled out as reasons to return. One reviewer calls the branch the best dinner stop in the village, and another describes it as a favourite for breakfast and pastries. Close behind the service praise, several note the spot works well as a quick refuel during shopping. On the negative side, one recent diner reports cold food along with long black hairs on the floors and store products, and another describes a newspaper found in the meal, both isolated accounts but worth noting for anyone with hygiene concerns.

“One of the best branches I’ve ever been to. I rushed in alone, hungry and tired, with no clue of what to eat, but was quickly looked after by the lovely Ferruccio who recommended the perfect meal. It all picked me right up. Thank you and lots of love 🌻♥️”

- Çarpışan Doğa
“I ordered lamb with a creamy sauce including beans. It was spectacular. Lamb was crispy and balanced with a fat. The plate was balanced with vegetables and onion’s cooking degree was middle, perfect next to the lamb. Staff was friendly and the service was so quick. In my opinion, best place to eat dinner at Bicester Village. 👍👌”
