Daphne's Restaurant

Daphne's Restaurant An authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of Chelsea & Kensington. Daphne’s has a sister restaurant on Paynes Bay in St James, Barbados.
(757)

Opened in 1964 by theatre agent Daphne Rye, who discovered Richard Burton and developed the careers of Kenneth More and Honor Blackman, Daphne’s quickly became one of London's most fashionable haunts and has scarcely faltered since. Daphne's offers a selection carefully-sourced seasonal Italian country cooking, along with its natural warmth and effortless charm. This chic, understated restaurant i

s a delight all year round: in summer, the conservatory roof opens to create an alfresco feel; in winter, a blazing fire in the open brick hearth turns it into an intimate retreat.
