Oded Oren opened his first solo restaurant, Oren, in London last October, combining the flavours of his hometown Tel Aviv with Mediterranean-style cuisine. Prior to moving to London in 2011 where he ran a bespoke catering business, he honed his skills in some of the world’s best kitchens including a stint at London’s River Café.
