Penelope's Restaurant | London Covent Garden
Fusion Feast
At Penelope's in Covent Garden, new standards are being set from dinner table to dance floor. It begins with an innovative menu, led by the flavours of AMANO co-founder Ariel Schiff’s youth, spent between Tel Aviv and southern Spain.
As for the restaurant itself, expect mirrored ceilings, sophisticated decor and intimate seating areas that create a glamorous afterparty vibe. Things get even more seductive in the private dinner area and on the dance floor.
At the weekend, London DJs blur the boundaries between dining and a memorable night out. And there’s no livelier night than Isramani, a legendary monthly dinner party imported from Berlin. Expect the unexpected.

Awards
Penelope’s Wins at the British Restaurant Awards 2024
At Penelope’s in Covent Garden, flavour comes first. Recently awarded best Luxury Restaurant at the 2024 British Restaurant Awards, Penelope’s is led by Executive Chef Fez Ozalgan, whose bold creative cooking draws on her Cypriot Heritage and East London roots. Her menus fuse vibrant flavours of the Middle East and southern Spain, reimagined with modern London sensibility.
Fez’s passion for storytelling through food is at the heart of every dish – from colourful sharing plates to indulgent mains, each one layered with spice, soul, and unexpected flair. It’s fine dining without the formality, passing dishes across the table and savouring every bite.
The space is as striking as the food – with mirrored ceilings, sultry lighting and plus velvet booths, it’s designed for lingering long into the night. On weekends live DJs bring the energy up a notch blurring the lines between dinner and a night out with our famous ISRAMANI parties every Saturday.
