Penelope's, part of the AMANO Group, is redefining London’s dining and nightlife scene. In 2024, Penelope’s won Best Luxury Restaurant at the British Food Awards, a testament to its culinary excellence. Executive Chef Fez Ozalgan curates a menu that merges Middle Eastern and Spanish flavors, using the finest ingredients. The restaurant’s ambiance is equally compelling, with mirrored ceilings, plush seating, and dramatic lighting. The experience is further enhanced by the open kitchen, offering diners a front-row view of the culinary artistry.

Named after founder Ariel Schiff’s daughter, the restaurant is a heartfelt tribute to the vibrant cultures of Spain and Tel Aviv. Schiff describes Penelope’s as "truly a matter of the heart," a place where the exuberance of Berlin meets the sophistication of London. On weekends, Penelope’s transforms into a lively party scene, featuring London DJs and the legendary Isramani dinner party, imported from Berlin.

Very good experience overall. Good food, good atmosphere. Busier than I expected for an early dinner time. A few disappointments. - The front of the house was disorganised. I was asked to sit down and wait only for 10 people to arrive after me and be attended to before I was. The waitress I flagged that to could not care less and was borderline rude. - The pre theatre menu had to be requested despite the fact I mentioned it in the booking. It is much cheaper than the standard one. Call me a cynic. The rest was good and good value for money.

Dear Florence, Thank you for sharing your review with us. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and overall value for money. However, we apologise for the lack of organisation you experienced at the front of house and for the way your concerns were handled. This is not the level of service we strive to provide. Your feedback regarding the pre-theatre menu is also noted, and we will ensure our team is reminded to communicate more effectively with guests to avoid such oversights in the future. Your comments are incredibly valuable to us, as they help us to identify areas where we can improve. We hope you’ll consider visiting us again so we can provide you with the seamless experience you deserve. Best, Penelope's Team

Penelope’s a great lively venue. Amazing food and an energetic vibe. A real party night with sparklers, flashing head bands and great music. The food has a Middle Eastern/ Spanish theme…. Well presented and delicious

The seating was limited to one section of the restaurant. No advance notice nor explanation given. We were sat next to someone Woking on their laptop which felt like a wework. The attitude from the servers gave the impression they didn't want to be there.
Penelope’sGereageerd op 21 november 2024
Dear Sadiq, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear about your recent experience, it’s disappointing to learn that we fell short on providing a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the limited seating and for any discomfort caused by the setting or the service. We strive to create a warm and accommodating environment for all our guests, and we regret that this was not reflected during your visit. Your comments are incredibly valuable, and I will ensure they are shared with the team so we can address these concerns and improve moving forward. We hope you will give us another opportunity to provide you with a much better experience. Best, Penelope's Team

Food was good as was the wine of if I but pricey but it’s London so…the restaurant is buzzy with open kithchen and a lot of young men - and the chefs were all men - making quite a display cooking. There was a female who passed the orders on to them and she shouted as loud as she could. It was a bit of a performance tbh. I guess because the pass is noisy but it really didn’t make for a relaxing meal. I’d say don’t go if you want a nice romantic dinner.
Penelope’sGereageerd op 20 november 2024
Dear Linda, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the food and wine, even though we understand that the atmosphere didn’t fully meet your expectations. Our open kitchen and counter seating are designed to offer guests a behind-the-scenes view of the preparation and interaction between the chefs, but we understand that the volume may have impacted your experience. Your feedback is important to us, and we will take it into consideration as we work to create a more balanced and enjoyable dining environment. We hope to welcome you back in the future for a better experience. Best, Penelope's Team

Delicious food, great entertainment. A little loud and service was soso but the food and atmosphere totally win it over.
