Experience the essence of Latin America at Los Cavos, Mumbai's newest culinary haven

Los Cavos, Mumbai's newest dining sensation in Bandra, is set to redefine the city's culinary experience under the banner of VRO Hospitality Pvt Ltd in partnership with the renowned Fashion and Celebrity Photographer, Rahul Jhangiani. The vibrant eatery opens its doors on Saturday, September 30, 2023, marking the fourth addition to the VRO family known for innovation in the F&B industry.

Inspired by the vibrant mosaic of Latin American culture, the space invites guests to immerse themselves in a unique fusion of Latin cuisine, cocktails, and a captivating ambience. At Los Cavos the stories, flavours, and melodies intertwine to create an experience beyond compare.

In this exciting culinary venture, the hospitality group has onboarded renowned Peruvian chef, Rafael Estremadoyro García, to curate a timeless Latin American menu. With more than 14 years of global culinary expertise spanning Peru, Italy, the United States, and Brazil, and a background in fine dining, creativity and innovation, Chef Rafael’s strong dedication to creating memorable dining experiences and sharing the rich tapestry of Latin flavours is at the heart of Los Cavos.

The menu offers a taste of Peru, featuring a unique blend of Japanese, Spanish, and Italian influences that enrich the dining experience with a harmonious blend of culinary delights.

Cold starters feature dishes like Fresh Clams, Bachiche Ceviche or the zesty Los Cavos Ceviche, offering a seafood blend of flavours for non-vegetarians while vegetarians can indulge in the delightful Mushroom Ceviche or Usuzukuri. For a special treat, try the marinated Tuna Tiradito. For a warm start, bite into the Marinated Scallops in Pisco or the Chickpea and Cilantro Humitas, a classic vegetarian delight along with crispy options including the Deep Fried Baby Brussels Sprouts and flavorful Mushroom Croquettes.

Move on to a hearty Portobello Steak or dive into the flavorful Seafood Rice with clams, prawns, scallops, and bisque sauce. To add more to this experience, savour the tender Seco lamb chops in cilantro chili sauce or the Pan-Seared Chicken Sea Bass Quinotto. Vegetarians can delight in the Veggie Chaufa Rice. End your meal with Churros or Chocolate Mousse, or opt for a creamy Cheesecake adorned with berries and of course, a must for Classic dessert lovers - the timeless Tiramisu.

“I'm delighted to bring the vibrant tapestry of Latin flavours to life in a new and exciting way. Los Cavos isn't just a place to dine; it's a heartfelt dedication to sharing the beauty of Latin cuisine with this incredible country. Our brand is a vision where every dish becomes a chapter in a culinary story, where the fusion of tradition and innovation creates a memorable experience, and where the soul of Latin America springs to life in every bite.” shares Rafael Estremadoyro García, Corporate Chef, Latin American Cuisine, Los Cavos, speaking about the widespread classic dishes on the menu.

At Los Cavos, it's not just about food, it's a sensory symphony. The cocktails are inspired by the spirits and rhythms of Latin America and are crafted with precision to complement the flavours of the food dishes. Sip on signature cocktails like the vibrant Pisco Tropicus, Dragon’s Milk and refreshing Latin Breeze expertly curated to transport guests to the heart of Latin American libations, enhancing the overall dining experience with a perfect blend of flavours and craftsmanship. For finer flavours, the Picante with Patron Silver is power-packed with a spicy and zesty concoction of jalapeno, lemon, agave, and cilantro. The Oaxacan Treasure is an intriguing cocktail featuring smoky Fandango Mezcal infused with dark chocolate and black raisins, complemented by the herbal complexity of Amaro Montenegro and the rich flavours of chocolate bitters. Those looking for a citrus hint are sure to enjoy the Tropical Elixir with Bacardi Carta Blanca, fresh pineapple, cocalero, tender coconut water, coconut & pineapple foam and the Mexican Reviver with Cocalero, Patron Silver, orange liqueur, lemon, rich syrup, vegan foam.

All of these make for an experience that is more than just a sensory delight. With enchanting stories from "El Libro Mágico," the restaurant brings authentic culture to life through music, rhythms, and flavours, inviting patrons to dance and celebrate. It promises an unforgettable journey into a new culture through food, music, and ambience. 

The restaurant's interior is a captivating fusion of warmth and visual intrigue, artfully transforming a contemporary space into a time-worn, aged setting. It harmoniously blends the allure of yesteryears with the enchantment of modernity. Authentic distressed finishes grace the walls, ceilings, and floors, meticulously recreating the appearance of aged and weathered structures. The interior is thoughtfully segmented into three distinct zones: the welcoming entrance lounge with an entrancing bar, featuring a central custom mural; a corridor adorned with tropical-themed murals; and a more secluded dining area towards the rear. The lighting at Los Cavos elevates the ambience, with strategically placed ambient indirect lights accentuating intricate mouldings and architectural volumes. The adaptability of the lighting scheme seamlessly facilitates transitions in the bar's atmosphere, shifting from an intimate, softly illuminated space to a lively and vibrant setting. 

Adding a dynamic and vibrant touch to your dining experience, the music embodies the essence of Latin American culture, creating a lively atmosphere that immerses you in its rich and passionate spirit.

"I'm thrilled to embark on this new journey with Los Cavos and VRO Hospitality. As I've captured the essence of fashion and Bollywood through my lens, I've channelled my creativity into every aspect of our Latin American restaurant, from vibrant colours to curated moods. I'm incredibly excited about the launch of Los Cavos, and collaborating with friends and the VRO team has been an amazing experience. I can't wait for everyone to savour the artistry and flavours we've crafted. This is just the beginning of many more exciting ventures to come!"
