This one took its time. We originally wrote about Caviar Kaspia returning to London all the way back in 2018 - but now it's finally (and quietly) opened.
Back at the turn of the millennium, Caviar Kaspia was doing pretty good business in London. Fay Maschler (at least we think it's her - the piece isn't credited) gave the London outpost of the Parisian institution a good review back in 2000. But then it all went a bit pearshaped and the Bruton Place restaurant closed, to be replaced by Bellamy's.
But now the roe-focused restaurant is back in London - but not as we originally imagined. This time it's returned as a private members' club which, we imagine, is what's behind its rather stealthy opening. They don't seem to have a membership fee, but they do "request that each year members add £2,000 to their account". That's going to go pretty quickly on the caviar.
The club has taken over the site previously occupied by The Chess Club which closed back in 2018. It's not the first time Caviar Kaspia have retried the London scene since closing - they did a popup at members club Loulou's and a few more too.
As for what's on the menu, well that's under wraps. But if you do fancy finding out and have two grand knocking about...
