Arlington
Arlington is a masterful revival of the legendary Le Caprice, reimagined with exquisite restraint and flair. Tucked into the elegant enclave of St James’s, this classic British brasserie retains all the glamour and charm of its predecessor, now paired with a modern polish that appeals to both loyal fans and a new generation of diners. The dining room is a vision of refined luxury—monochrome elegance punctuated by David Bailey’s iconic photography—setting the stage for a menu steeped in British and European culinary tradition. Signature dishes such as their celebrated fishcakes or iced berries with white chocolate sauce nod to the restaurant’s storied past, while an emphasis on seasonality and attentive, polished service ensures an elevated experience. Vegetarian and vegan options are also thoughtfully included, broadening its inclusive appeal. Arlington has already garnered praise from leading voices in the London dining scene. The MICHELIN Guide commends its confidently crafted classics like chicken Milanese and dressed Dorset crab, noting the “charming décor” and “slick, professional” service. SquareMeal highlights Arlington’s “luxurious Art Deco ambience,” applauding it as a “celebrity hotspot” with timeless appeal. Hot Dinners reinforces the impression of sophistication and assured hospitality, affirming its place among London’s most polished establishments. Open for lunch and dinner Monday to Friday, and serving brunch, lunch and dinner on weekends, Arlington offers a fine dining experience that blends heritage and style in one of Central London’s most iconic neighbourhoods.
