Capitol Dining Room & Bar

Another chef who will be one of the stars at the WLG Pop Up Restaurant next week is Tom Hutchinson; head chef and owner at Capitol.

Serving up brunch, lunch and dinner; the menu is based on classical Italian style, seasonal and show casing the local produce. The brunch menu is a little different to your usual items, but provides a great range of options for everyone.

With big windows, it is a bright space to have a bite to eat, or enjoy a drink at the bar.

I went for the french toast, and it wasn’t too sweet at all. The toast itself was light and fluffy, and the shaved apple and passionfruit made for a delicious combo.

    the french toast looks so decadent but I have a feeling that it will not taste too heavy. 🙂

    What an inventive take on French Toast! I think I’d miss the maple syrup though 😛
