    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.)

    They stopped you taking pictures? That is shocking. I still haven't had anyone objecting to me taking pics of the food. Maybe they thought you were a paparazzi trying to get a scoop on the celebrities around ;-)

    Just to clarify, I took stealth pictures of the food and that was not a problem (except for embarrasing my co-diners). The problem came when I asked the waiter to take a picture of the table (family event) and he said it was restaurant policy not to allow any pictures...
