Cavo Restaurant

A self-characterised Mediterranean culinary odyssey, Cavo is celebrating one of the most idyllic areas of the world in all its full, breathtaking beauty.

Perched up high over one of London's most stunning squares, Cavo boasts unbelievable views over Covent Garden, the gingerbread-style houses so close you could almost touch them. Wherever you sit in their swoon-worthy dining room, you can count these views as your direct neighbour. As for the restaurant itself, modern sophistication is the order of the day with marble-topped tables, beachy furniture and a ceiling of exposed pipes making for a glorious meeting of worlds in which anything is possible.

Encapsulating those endless nights a few feet away from the ocean, the menu focuses on the beauty of sharing summery plates with loved ones. First, create a baseline of fresh vegetable plates, be that a smoky roasted aubergine, a lentil ragu or pan-roasted artichoke heart with hummus and yoghurt, As you can see, the Mediterranean is a master of variety.

The theme continues with some stunning seafood-sharing plates that include black cod joined by all the salty deliciousness of kalamata olives, Spanish mackerel dressed up with saffron aioli, and scallops in a dazzling Champagne butter. As for meat, simply look to the Josper grill that is responsible for some of the most exclusive cuts of meat around, all best enjoyed with a spectacular quadrant of sauces.

Is it possible to fall in love with the Mediterranean all over again?
