Our newest restaurant in Fitzrovia is different to anything we've done in the past. The 90 seat restaurant serves a menu with vegetables at its heart but with a fresh focus on fermentation and cooking over fire. ROVI also features a large central bar with cocktails based on seasonal spices and house shrubs, and a dynamic low-intervention wine list from small producers.

We've teamed up with farmers who are passionate about growing great produce while respecting the environment. Fruit and vegetables will be come directly from biodynamic Brambletye in Sussex, and from Organiclea, a cooperative in East London.

In the center of the room is our bar which is reservable for guests dining with us over the age or 18, or 16 if accompanied by an adult. The rest of our seating is a mixture of standalone and communal tables which can be be converted into a semi private area for up to 10 to 12 guests. To host your event in this area please contact us directly.

Bordeaux

The Bordeaux wine region sits in the Aquitaine region of South-west France & since the early 13th century, has been considered one of the centres of the fine wine world. Vineyards lie on the banks of the rivers Dordogne & Garonne, which merge into the Gironde Estuary. These waters have a significant influence on the climates, soil and great variety found in Bordeaux wines. These can be enjoyed by the glass, or as a flight of three to experience the diversity of Bordeaux £28

Rovi is always excellent! They have a slightly curtailed menu during Covid which sadly did not include the amazing curried fish with roti but everything we ate was really excellent and the staff were really lovely.

Two friend out for a quick lunch - we both had the Jerusalem Mixed Grill with meat. Don't be put off by the inclusion of chicken hearts, the whole thing was utterly delicious. Added bonus: when Mr. Ottolengi showed up ;)

Excellent, the only thing I would say is that the tables are to close together. As a petite woman I struggled to get to my seat without disrupting other diners. Those of larger statue would require moving the entire tables, which weren’t the easiest to move. Amazing food, excellent customer service.

I had a coughing fit (I have had a stroke) and the staff were wonderful. I think the butter beans set me off. The food was great and my friend, who is vegan, enjoyed the dishes (especially the artichoke)
