The Capital Hotel welcomes a new chef and restaurant
Great Hotels of the World is pleased to announce that member hotel The Capital in London will open its new restaurant - Outlaw’s Seafood & Grill – on October 2. The restaurant will give Cornish-based seafood championing chef Nathan Outlaw his first London outpost. Outlaw has already acquired two Michelin stars in his Cornwall restaurant. Guests can expect ecologically sound Cornish seafood, including sustainable catches from the UK. The menu includes superb dishes including “Grilled lemon sole with potted brown shrimp butter” and “Brill on the bone and whole Port Isaac lobster”. Pete Biggs, Outlaw’s right hand man and head chef of the London restaurant will oversee the kitchen, while Nathan Outlaw will commute between his two venues. The new restaurant will be located in the hotel’s refurbished dining room that for the past years has served as a restaurant for many talents of world gastronomy since David Levin opened it in 1971. The restaurant’s wine list will be built around the property’s enviable, long established cellar.
