"Reopened in London after a 20-year absence, this Parisian caviar emporium now operates as an invite-only, members-only destination requiring a reported £2,000 annual deposit and refusing walk-ins. The deliberately secretive menu is expected to mirror its international outposts — tins of premium roe, baked potatoes heaped with sturgeon (sturgeon roe), an enviable range of caviars, some luxury cured products and even rudimentary pastas — though exact offerings are kept under wraps. Members are ushered into lavishly appointed rooms with puffy pink furnishings, aquamarine walls and an ornately finished bar. First proposed in 2018 and delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the opening arrives amid a revived appetite for ostentatious caviar experiences as the venue seeks to return the delicacy to gilded, very expensive surroundings." - James Hansen
