ROVI is an Ottolenghi restaurant in Fitzrovia that places vegetables at the centre of the dining experience. Its root to tip approach looks closely at every usable part of an ingredient, turning stems, leaves and familiar produce into dishes with the colour, generosity and bold flavour associated with the wider Ottolenghi style.
Fire and fermentation guide much of the kitchen’s character. Charring builds smoke and sweetness, while pickling and cultured ingredients add acidity and depth, creating food that feels vibrant and layered without allowing technique to overpower the natural qualities of the produce.
The seasonal cooking is developed with small producers, local growers and the team’s kitchen garden at Wolves Lane in North London. These relationships help the restaurant respond to what is growing well, while supporting an approach in which careful sourcing and creative use of ingredients belong to the same idea.
Cocktails evolve alongside the kitchen’s ferments and make use of ingredients that might otherwise be wasted, while the low intervention wine list brings together bottles from around the world. A terrace catches the afternoon light in suitable weather, giving guests another way to enjoy the restaurant’s relaxed but inventive atmosphere.
Address: 59 Wells Street, Fitzrovia, London W1A 3AE, United Kingdom
