Rare 1983 Langans Brasserie menu (signed M. Caine)

This is an original signed Langans Brasserie menu from December 1983. Langan's Brasserie is a restaurant situated on Stratton Street, Mayfair, London. Opened by the Irish entrepreneur Peter Langan on 20 October 1976 in partnership with the actor Michael Caine, the Brasserie (which had previously housed the ornate restaurant Le Coq d'Or) quickly attracted celebrities and became hugely successful.


The menu was designed and drawn by David Hockney.


This not only is an original signature by Michal Caine, but also an historic document, especially for all you foodies out there. Sadly, Peter Langan died in 1988, and Michael Caine's share of the brasserie was bought by Richard Shepherd who still owns the Langans name. This menu hails back to a time now gone, and is historically richer for it.


The image has been 'stitched' together from two scans. However, the menu is in very good condition, having been kept in a frame since 1983 (It no longer is in that frame.) It is fully intact, and the scans were necessary as its actual size is A3 - I only have an A4 scanner!


Any knowing foodie will make me a sensible offer.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
