Words from LIV Executive Chef

Executive Chef, Damien Monley says: “The whole team at Liv is super excited about opening for nights. The site itself ( the old Como Lario) has a long history as a restaurant since 1968 and we can’t wait to bring it back to life in the evening. We have got to know a lot of local customers during the last few months and we have listened to what they would like to see on a menu and have incorporated this feedback. We have tested every new recipe and brought in some old school classics also and we can’t wait to get the doors open and re-establishing Liv as a warm and friendly neighbourhood restaurant that exceeds expectations with delicious comfort food, wonderful wines and warm friendly service.”

The interiors of LIV are fitted out in crisp white and neutrals, with plenty of fresh flowers, linen and wicker, and a contemporary art collection featuring artists such as Henry Moore and Alexander Calder.
