Israeli-Spanish fusion food in Covent Garden
Funky food and wild parties - a new Jewish-owned restaurant is setting the scene for great nights out in London
Israeli-Spanish is the latest fusion food and it’s being dished up at Penelope’s, the stunning new restaurant at the (also new) AMANO hotel in Covent Garden. On the menu are some incredibly exciting combinations such as Israeli-style paella with freekeh and gin-tomato-sauce, Israeli sofrito with pulled chicken and laffa bread, and baklava cheesecake. It’s a great night out with a funky soundtrack, a vibrant drinks list, live DJs playing music on Friday and Saturday nights, and a monthly Isramani party – an eating, drinking and dancing-on-the-table immersive experience.
AMANO’s co-founder Ariel Schiff says: “Growing up between Tel Aviv and southern Spain exposed me to some amazing food from a young age, an experience that inspired me to bring those flavours together at Penelope’s. At Amano we pride ourselves on offering out-of-the ordinary dining experiences. We want our guests to eat, drink and dance together, an ethos we live by as a brand and as individuals wherever we are.” Sign us up.
