London’s best seafood chef Tom Brown has opened his new flagship restaurant, Tom Brown at The Capital, marking a bold new chapter in the heart of Knightsbridge.
This exciting opening sees Tom return to the prestigious Capital Hotel, where he first made a name for himself as Head Chef at the Michelin-starred Outlaw’s. Now at the helm of his own venture, the intimate 28-cover restaurant will showcase Tom’s signature style—clean, creative, flavour-led dishes with a strong emphasis on sustainable seafood.
At the core of the restaurant’s philosophy is a deep respect for the ocean. Tom is dedicated to using responsibly sourced seafood and minimising waste through inventive use of the whole catch—from lesser-known cuts to unexpected flavour pairings. The seasonally evolving tasting menus highlight his bold creativity and commitment to sustainability.
Dinner menus begin at £125 for 12 courses, featuring dishes such as:
- Mussel, port, and beetroot charcuterie with oyster
- Wild bass with buttermilk and vanilla
- Tuna with soy and quail egg
- Cuttlefish “ravioli” crafted entirely from fish
- Monkfish with roast chicken and wild garlic
- Turbot with smoked eel and black truffle
Desserts push boundaries too, including chocolate with caviar, olive oil, and capers, followed by a selection of sweets. A 14-course dinner is available as a supplement, while 8 and 10-course lunch menus start from £80.
As part of a broader refurbishment of The Capital Hotel, the restaurant and adjoining bar will unveil a contemporary new look, blending modernity with the timeless elegance that defines this Knightsbridge institution.
“Returning to The Capital feels like coming home,” says Tom Brown. “This restaurant is all about pushing boundaries while staying true to what I love—daring flavours, incredible produce, and a real focus on sustainable seafood. Every dish tells a story of where it came from and how we use it.”
Solomon Khaddour, General Manager of The Capital Hotel, adds: “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Tom Brown back. His passion for exceptional produce and innovative cooking aligns perfectly with our vision for the future of the hotel. This opening is a key part of our wider refurbishment, and we’re excited to offer guests a truly unforgettable dining experience.”
Open for dinner Tuesday–Saturday and lunch Tuesday–Sunday, offering a choice of 8, 10, 12, and 14-course tasting menus.
The Capital, 22, 24 Basil St, London SW3 1AT
