The Capital Restaurant operated within the Capital Hotel situated in Knightsbridge, London, England. Founded in 1971, it achieved a Michelin star during the tenure of chefs Richard Shepherd and Brian Turner. Other prominent culinary figures associated with the establishment included Gary Rhodes and Paul Merrett.

In 1999, Eric Chavot assumed the role of executive chef, guiding the restaurant to earn two Michelin stars by 2001. Throughout the decade, it maintained its status as one of the foremost dining venues in Britain.

Following Chavot’s exit in 2009, The Capital lost its Michelin star ratings. By 2013, it was succeeded by Outlaw's at The Capital, under the leadership of chef Nathan Outlaw, which currently holds one Michelin star.
