Found besides Hamilton Square and close to Birkenhead Park is Capitol, a Chinese restaurant that can quell any Chinese craving. Instantly recognisable from the outside by its green front, within guests can settle into a charming interior decorated with oriental taste.
Gourmet Society members can visit and enjoy all the delightful Chinese dishes their hearts desire at a price that won’t get the pulse racing. Calling in advance with a Gourmet Society card will ensure guests receive a handsome discount, saving more than just a pretty penny.
Start the feast with an exemplary appetiser, such as the juicy barbecue ribs, available with either a sweet barbecue sauce or a zesty Mandarin sauce, the heart-warming sweetcorn soup, served with a choice of egg, chicken or crab meat, and the irresistible crispy Peking duck, partnered with plenty of pancakes, spring onions and hoisin sauce.
A wealth of wondrous dishes are available for the main, with far more than just the standard sweet and sour options for those willing to venture outside their comfort zone. Particularly tantalising dishes include the spicy pork, accompanied with a garlic and chilli sauce, the rich crispy shredded chicken, paired with a sweet chilli sauce, and the delectable Mushroom Delight, a medley of English and straw mushrooms.
With brilliant service provided by the friendly staff, guests are more than welcome to ask about recommended dishes. This is highly advised in fact, as the talented chefs may be hard at work on some sumptuous specials. Whether it’s for a pleasant meal or a special occasion, Capitol will always have its doors open.
