Launched in 1948, Le Caprice is a well established, old style glamorous restaurant with a monochrome interior offering professional service along with a full menu of British cuisine. Booking in advance is essential.
This establishment has a reputation for a reason: It is professionally run and has truly excellent food.
The restaurant is chocca in the evening and has a lively vibe. Whilst it may be a little noisy for those who don't like to raise their voice the quality of food and ambiance let that potential irritation pale into insignificance.
Le Caprice's food is so good that i think i could honestly eat it every day of my life. I had a light but exceptionally tasty meal: Cold beetroot soup with horseradish (mmm, perfect) and then arguably the best blue fin tuna I have had - luscious and thickly chopped tuna steak on a bed of cleverly spiced lentils that were astonishly complimentary.
Monitoring closely the other dishes around the table, the soft crab appetizer looked a winner, as did the juicy helpings of scallops.
All in all, highly recommended.
(Punters should note that doing anything as vulgar as photographing your dinner party is utterly banned, which I personally find a shade OTT and potentially pretentious but I am in a surprisingly forgiving mood after such tasty food.)
A friend and I had a long Saturday lunch here, and it was absolutely delightful. The service - friendly, professional and very welcoming. The food was wonderful, ambience perfect, and the "Happy birthday" wish was a thoughtful touch. I would definitely recommend Le Caprice for any occasion, and will return to sample more of the menu. We were so impressed, we bought the book!
