About
Mexican-born Adriana Cavita grew up between Mexico City in Azcapotzalco town and Tlaxcala State in a small village called San Felipe Ixtacuixtla. Her first role in cookery came at the age of 17 as an apprentice at Nicos in Mexico City. Here, she honed her skills on the bakery section before moving on to her first full-time paid job at Pujol - currently ranked at #9 in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants - at just 19.
Adriana Cavita’s commitment and skill pushed her to apply for roles in the best restaurants in Mexico - alongside Ferran Adria as Chef de Partie at El Bulli in 2011 and later with Eduardo Garcia at Lalo! These restaurants are famed for their ongoing revolutionary approach to Mexican cooking.
Adriana moved to the UK to work as Head Chef at Peyotito in London and Ibiza. Adriana completed a residency on the rooftop of The Dorchester in June 2021, introducing her food to the capital. Adriana’s debut restaurant Cavita opened in May 2022 to a host of outstanding reviews including The Financial Times, The Evening Standard and The Independent. Her standout approach to Mexican food can be seen in her debut cookbook ‘Cocina Mexicana’, published September 2023. In February 2024, Adriana Cavita’s basement bar is relaunching as El Bar de Cavita, focussing on all Adriana’s favourite things – Margaritas, Mezcal and Mexican street food.
