The fifth-floor restaurant located within the opera house will reopen on 27 September with a new menu, refreshed interiors, and a terrace with panoramic views of Covent Garden.
It has been created in collaboration with Company of Cooks, the Royal Opera House’s long-standing catering and hospitality partner, with executive chef Richard Robinson, formerly of Tom’s Kitchen, The French Laundry and Per Se, overseeing a regularly changing menu. Dishes will include London burrata and heritage beetroots; lemon sole, English sparkling wine and mushroom; and Pershore broccoli with citrus and pine nuts, as well as a catch of the day, butcher’s cut and ‘market choice’.
The dining room has been given a facelift by interior designer Naomi Cleaver, with the walls featuring sketches of celebrated costumes selected by the Royal Opera House’s exhibition curator.
"We're delighted to be relaunching the Piazza restaurant with our long-standing partners at the Royal Opera House,” says Rob Fredrickson, managing director at Company of Cooks.
“Richard and The Company of Cooks team have created a brilliant, creative new menu unlike anything we’ve served at Piazza previously. We look forward to welcoming new visitors through the House's famous doors and continue to support the vital work of the Royal Opera House in all its forms.”
