Cantera: the tradition of Japanese cuisine and the unmistakable flavour of meat, served at the water’s edge in Little Venice.

Cantera takes its name from the Spanish word for quarry – a nod to the raw material at the heart of everything here. The kitchen works where two traditions meet: the precision and restraint of Japanese cooking, and the unmistakable flavour of meat. The setting matches the ambition. Tables sit on the seashore of Little Venice, looking out over the historical windmills and one of the most photographed sunsets in the Aegean. Dinner runs from six until one, and the sunset tables go first.
