Elegant & Chic
With its soft caramel tones and discreet lighting, Daphne's restaurant in South Kensington is elegant and relaxed. Well known and loved by celebrities and their friends, this Italian restaurant has been serving classic Italian cuisine for more than 40 years in chic surroundings and with effortless charm. The conservatory with its retracting roof is particularly popular as are the continental-style windows that are opened onto the pavement in warm weather. Risotto is perhaps what Daphne's is best known for, but its regularly-changing seasonal menu with new dishes appearing every week is intended to reflect the diverse cooking styles of different Italian regions. Whenever possible, Daphne's chefs take full advantage of the wealth of fine ingredients available from British waters and British producers.
