It seems Le Caprice is living on in more ways than one
Towards the end of last year, Jeremy King revealed that he was reviving Le Caprice, the celeb magnet restaurant that welcomed everyone from Princess Diana to Elton John to Elizabeth Taylor through the doors. And now it appears that Richard Caring is also bringing the legendary restaurant back, opening it at the swish new Chancery Rosewood hotel in Mayfair. So how can it be coming back twice, and in two different locations?
Well, Jeremy King, who owned the restaurant from 1981 – 2005, is taking over the restaurant’s site on Arlington Street in Mayfair and though he’s rolling it back to Le Caprice’s glory days by bringing back general manager of 38 years Jesus Adorno, he can’t keep the original name. That was sold, along with the restaurant, to Richard Caring back in 2005 and though the restaurant closed in 2020, he still owns it, which is why he’s able to open Le Caprice at the Chancery Rosewood.
There are no other details as to what this version of Le Caprice will look like yet but with the hotel, in the Grade II-listed former American Embassy on Grosvenor Square, costing £1 billion and a sister site to NYC’s Carbone also opening inside, it’s not going to be understated.
