Take a trip around the Med at the capital’s hottest new Mediterranean all day drinking and dining destination, Cavo.
A central London haven of Mediterranean inspired flavours and feel-good vibes, Cavo’s huge open plan premises – complete with rooftop terrace – sits inside Tottenham Court Road’s swish new Now Building at Outernet’s entertainment district, ready to bring a splash of sunshine to even the dreariest of London days.
Vibrant menus and hand-crafted cocktails span the islands and coastline of this remarkable region, blending exceptional Mediterranean ingredients and culinary traditions with contemporary twists and modern touches.
All day dining with a dose of sunshine
Cavo is a celebration of the wonderful abundance of seafood, fresh, seasonal vegetables, sensational meat, and plentiful fresh herbs which characterise Mediterranean food.
Built upon the foundation of three hero ingredients – expertly sourced olive oil, the gold-standard and incredibly versatile Amalfi lemons, and vibrant Vessuvio tomatoes – Cavo has created an inviting collection of brunch, lunch, dinner and tasting menus that bring the very best of land and sea to this all-day dining experience.
The Mediterranean is one of the most productive and plentiful seas on the planet, so it comes as no surprise to see a stunning selection of responsibly sourced and sustainable seafood, enlivened by bright citrus flavours, regional spices, seasonal vegetables and seaweed. Oysters arrive by the platter, Plateaux de Fruits de Mer come seared with a small amount of smoking (A La Plancha) or Lightly Steamed to magnify the natural flavours of the sea. Meanwhile Cavo Raw Platters serve up achingly fresh Tartare of Mazara red prawns or Red snapper; or Carpaccio of Octopus or Spanish Mackerel.
Back on land, succulent meat dishes include a selection of Mediterranean sharing plates and tapas taking a tour of cuisines from Morocco, Turkey, Greece, Italy and Spain; or are served piping hot from the Josper Grill – an authentic Mediterranean barbeque experience using carefully selected Spanish coals that add a rich depth of flavour to dishes like dry-aged Galician rib-eye, Iberico pork, Carabinero prawns or lightly poached Lobster tail.
Destination drinking
Nowhere is the concept of pairing local wines, aperitifs and cocktails as rigorously taken to heart as the Mediterranean basin. Hosted by Cavo’s head bartender, mixologist and sommelier, the destination drink offering promises to provoke memories of warm welcomes, long laid back evenings and glorious sunshine with every sip.
Cavo boasts an impressive wine cellar, drawing on the rich wine making tradition and warm hospitality of the Med. Every bottle has been carefully sourced from small and sustainable vineyards both in the traditional wine regions of Italy, France and Spain, as well as newer wine countries of the Middle East and Israel to complement the regional, seasonal dishes.
True lovers of bubbles know the Mediterranean is undoubtedly the most famous region for producing some of the world’s finest sparkling wines. Hand selected by the resident sommelier, Cavo’s sparkling wine cellar delivers an incredibly diverse, effervescent selection of fizz from a variety of terroirs, reflecting the native grape varieties of the region.
Enter into the spirit of summer with expertly hand-crafted cocktails that take full advantage of sun-kissed local botanicals to create soulful, country-specific tipples – like a Moroccan Mojito or Amalfi Gimlet – that signal golden hour has begun and will have you heading straight for the rooftop terrace.
London’s Hottest New Rooftop Terrace & Private Dining
