Café Monico was built 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 Climbers' Club was formed there in 1897.[2]

The banquet for the London 1899 chess tournament took place there.[3]

Cafe Monico reopened under the new ownership of Soho House & Co in April 2016. It has undergone a large refurbishment since the site previously housed the nightclub 'Avalon'. It is now a two-floor restaurant serving European dishes under the supervision of consultant chef Rowley Leigh.
