It had been rumoured for months, but now we have confirmation - Le Caprice is coming back, opening at the new Chancery Rosewood in Mayfair.
But hasn't Le Caprice already returned, you ask? Well, while Arlington is the return of the heyday of Le Caprice in all but name, this new opening will be much more official - and much larger too. As reported by The Standard, the restaurant will take over the southeast corner of the hotel, which means it will be extremely close to another Caring restaurant, 34 Mayfair.
Unlike the original, which is a compact restaurant by today's Caring standards, this will be a two-floored, all-day affair, with a large outside terrace and a private dining room for 24. In the piece, Caring couldn't help but throw some shade on the Jeremy King revamp, telling The Standard; “I’m sure a lot of people will want to see Le Caprice as it was, but I believe it should be moved into the 2020s. I want it to be chic, comfortable and classic. I think it’s fabulous to mix the old and the new both in style, customers and in food."
The new Le Caprice will also apparently feature the much-loved sorrel fishcakes and bang bang chicken on the menu, allowing for a direct Arlington comparison. Will it be enough to compete with Arlington which seemed to achieve the impossible by bringing the celebs back to the original Le Caprice? We'll have to wait and see.
