Jeremy King is to reopen Le Caprice, the London restaurant that was a mecca for famous names ranging from Princess Diana to Andy Warhol in its Eighties and Nineties heyday.
King, 69, collected the keys to the property behind the Ritz hotel in St James’s on Thursday and plans to bring it back to life in the new year.
It is likely to trade under a new name because Richard Caring, the Annabel’s tycoon who bought Caprice Holdings in 2005, wants to use Le Caprice for another venture. However, King has rehired its former maître d’, Jesus Adorno, and the menu is expected to feature Le Caprice classics such as bang bang chicken, crispy duck salad and salmon fishcakes. The decor will stay largely unchanged.
