Season’s Eatings Day #15: Brutto
We end the year, and our Season’s Eating’s series, with a tribute and a toast to Russell Norman; one of hospitality’s finest and a truly inspirational figure whose loss is keenly felt.
Russell’s impact on London’s dining scene in London was immense. From the launch of Polpo in 2009 to his most recent project @bru.tto, both he and his restaurants were defined by creativity and flair, attention to detail and genuine warmth and hospitality. Whilst rapturously received and commercially successful, they were underpinned by a sincere and scholarly passion for the source of their inspiration, as was evident in Russell’s award-winning books “POLPO: a Venetian cookbook (of sorts)”, “Spuntino – Comfort Food (New York Style)”, “Venice – Four Seasons of Home Cooking” and “BRUTTO: A Simple Florentine Cookbook”.
We had the privilege of working with Russell and his business partner Richard Beatty on projects from the first Polpo on Beak Street, to Polpetto, Spuntino, Mishkin’s, Ape & Bird and Brutto - the Clerkenwell restaurant that is Russell’s take on a Florentine bistro. The lively neighbourhood trattoria proved an instant hit; a winning combination of simplicity, authenticity and conviviality, with a sprinkling of Russell’s fairy dust. Long may it live on.

Season’s Eatings Day #14: Arlington
News began to emerge earlier in the year that hospitality legend @jeremyrbking would make a very welcome return to the capital’s dining scene with not one, but three major projects.
The first to open in early 2024 will be a reinvention of Le Caprice - the restaurant where Jeremy began his career with business partner Chris Corbin - which will open under the new name of Arlington.
Though originally opened in 1947, Le Caprice took on a new lease of life when it was taken over by King and Corbin in 1981, becoming one of London’s most in-demand dining rooms with a stellar clientele, tended to by “maître d’ without equal” Jesus Adorno, with whom King is re-uniting for the project. Adaptions of old favourites from the menu for 21st century tastes are planned for @arlingtonlondon, by former Le Caprice head chef Will Halsall and team.
The launch will be followed in the spring by the opening of @theparklondon in the new Park Modern building opposite Kensington Palace Gardens, to be followed by a reinvention of institution Simpsons in the Strand.
DCL acted for Jeremy King Restaurants on the off-market acquisition of Le Caprice, as well as brokering the Park Modern and Simpsons in the Strand deals.
