Massimo Cesarini's Company Details
In 2000, David Yeo, a Singaporean-born, British lawyer was encouraged by friends to open a restaurant as his entertaining at home was so enjoyed. David opened a simple 60-cover kitchen, which was a runaway success. Aqua Restaurant Group now has 23 restaurants across Hong Kong, Beijing and London, where their first UK site on Regent Street opened in 2009. David is the creative director of the group, conceptualising and carefully balancing excellent food with stunning design and approachable service. He strongly believes in accessible and approachable restaurants, which is why, when he chose the name of his first restaurant, aqua, he went back to the basic element in cooking - water. At the same time, a trip to Cairo introduced him to the ankh, the symbol of life in Ancient Egyptian mythology. This is how the ‘q' of the aqua logo became a stylized ankh and the Group's motto became "where there's water there's life". In 2012, David Yeo was named Asia Pacific ‘Restaurateur of the Year' by the prestigious World Gourmet Series. An evolving company with a reputation for innovation and excellence, Aqua Restaurant Group continues to grow and to lead within the worldwide hospitality industry.
