Cult Status: Almost 100 Years of Caviar Kaspia

If the paintings on the walls of Caviar Kaspia from the Russian tsarist era could speak, they could fill history books. In 1927, the restaurant's founder Arcady Fixon, a refugee from the Russian Revolution, began to seduce the Parisian public with the exotic flavors of his homeland. Shiny black sturgeon eggs, served with blinis or potatoes, and ice-cold vodka became the epitome of glamor and indulgence. From 1917 onwards, many Russian aristocrats and artists chose the city on the Seine as their place of exile, where they were welcomed with open arms.
