The most famous dish from the Le Caprice era has returned. Shredded chicken is tossed in an aromatic, properly spicy peanut sauce that has a slow-building heat. Rumored to be a favorite of the late Princess Diana, it remains a mandatory order for anyone seeking a taste of West End history.
Tips from diners
This is non-negotiable. It's exactly as it was decades ago — properly spicy and incredibly moreish.
A favorite main that demonstrates the kitchen's mastery of classic British fare. The fishcakes are expertly prepared with high-quality salmon and a light, crispy coating, served with a refined sorrel sauce that adds a unique herbal acidity. Reviewers consistently praise the perfect texture of the cakes.
Tips from diners
The sorrel sauce is the highlight — it's bright, acidic and really lifts the rich salmon. One of the most reliable dishes on the menu.
A visually stunning and highly praised dessert. A selection of seasonal berries is served frozen, topped with a rich, hot white chocolate sauce poured at the table. Reviewers praise the theatricality and the perfect contrast of temperatures.
Tips from diners
It's a proper showstopper. The berries are properly frozen so the hot chocolate sets quickly around them. A must-order.
A refined version of the classic. It features high-quality duck roasted until the skin is perfectly crispy, served with a medley of fresh herbs and a bright dressing. Reviewers highlight the textural contrast and the freshness of the ingredients.
Tips from diners
It's a very light and elegant way to start. Great for sharing with the table before the heavier mains.
A favorite for fans of classical British-European offal cooking. The liver is cooked pink by default, maintaining its tenderness, and served with a high-quality crispy bacon. Reviewers consistently mention it as a benchmark version of this classic main.
Tips from diners
The liver is perfectly cooked. Ask for a side of the house spinach to balance the rich sauce.
Arlington is a direct revival of the legendary Le Caprice by restaurateur Jeremy King. Located in the same historic spot on Arlington Street, the restaurant focuses on the classic, high-quality European fare that defined its predecessor, all served in an elegant, monochrome room that has quickly become a center-piece of the West End social scene.
The restaurant has a very sophisticated, quiet energy. It's a great spot for a special occasion or a sophisticated lunch with friends.
The revival by Jeremy King has made this one of the hardest reservations to secure in the West End. Book at least a month in advance for weekend dinner.
Request a table in the center under the mirrors for the best view of the room. It's one of the best spots in London for people-watching.
