Le Caprice Review

Celeb-ville grande dame Le Caprice commands the deepest loyalty of any restaurant in London. Why? Because of the memories...and because it gets practically everything right—every time. It's the 30-year celebrity history—think Liz Taylor, Joan Collins and Lady Di—the haunting David Bailey black-and-white portraits, designer Martin Brudnizki's updated décor, charming Bolivian-born Jesus Adorno the veteran maître'd, the perfect service, and the appealing and long-standing menu that sits somewhere between Euro peasant and trendy fashion plate. Sit at the raised counter or at a corner table and enjoy calves' liver with crispy bacon, roast pheasant with caramalized quince, and signature Scandinavian iced berries with a theatrical swirl of white chocolate sauce—all served with an ample dollop of "SHHush! Don't-Look-Now-Dear!" star spotting.
