Café Monico was a restaurant on London's Shaftesbury Avenue.
It was originally established in 1877 at 15 Tichborne Street in 1877 by the brothers Giacomo and Battista Monico.[1]
The first World Weightlifting Championships, then known as the International Amateur Weight Lifting Championship, was held at the Café Monico in 1891,[2] and the Climbers' Club was formed there in 1897.[3]
The banquet for the London 1899 chess tournament took place there.[4]
After some time as the nightclub Avalon, a refurbished Cafe Monico reopened under the new ownership of Soho House in April 2016. It became a two-floor restaurant serving European dishes under the supervision of consultant chef Rowley Leigh.[5][6]
The restaurant closed permanently in 2021.[7]
