A £3,000 Caviar Chest Headlines Miro Restaurant Mayfair’s Menu | Eater London

"A new Mayfair restaurant opening on Burlington Street by former Zuma chef Toby Burrowes that leans into performative luxury and seafood-led excess. The launch menu centers on an over-the-top caviar spectacle — a 'sunken caviar chest' designed to be filled with a full kilogram of prized roe for around £3,000 — alongside dishes described as 'sexy and delicious' such as king-crab croquettes, caviar-topped linguine, a 'fish-and-chips with a twist' (confit potato topped with fatty tuna, mayonnaise and sturgeon pearls), tacos, sashimi, lobster, scallop ceviche and steaks. The chef frames the concept as deliberately gimmicky and Instagram-ready; the drinks list matches the extravagance (examples cited include a £5,000 French 75 made with 1970 Dom Pérignon and a martini served with rare albino caviar), and commentators note the tension between eye-catching spectacle and the wasteful or excessive elements of the proposition." - James Hansen
