The Capital Restaurant was a restaurant located in the Capital Hotel in Knightsbridge, London, England. The restaurant was established in 1971 and earned a star from the Michelin Guide under chefs Richard Shepherd and Brian Turner. [1] Other notable chefs who have worked there include Gary Rhodes and Paul Merrett. [2]
Eric Chavot took over as executive chef in 1999; [3] the restaurant earned a two-star rating from Michelin in 2001, [4] [5] and for most of the decade it was ranked by many among Britain's leading restaurants. [6] [7] [8]
Following the departure of Executive Chef Eric Chavot in 2009 [9] the restaurant lost both stars. [10] By 2013, it had been replaced by a new restaurant, Outlaw's at The Capital, named for its chef, Nathan Outlaw. [11] Outlaw's at The Capital has one Michelin Star.
