After running his own restaurant Cornerstone in Hackney, Chef Tom Brown returned in 2025 to the genteel surroundings of The Capital Hotel, the place where his reputation was first established. The dining room is intimate, immaculate and perfect for that discreet lunch or celebratory dinner. As is the case with all Brown's endeavours, the focus is largely on seafood and comes in a set menu format but with some flexibility built in. The visually thrilling dishes make great use of prime ingredients, like turbot with a beautiful array of courgettes or the inventive cuttlefish ‘cacio e pepe’.
