You may not have the record-breaking 32 Grammy awards to your name, but you can dine like Beyoncé without leaving the Upper East Side, as the music superstar’s favorite Paris restaurant, the storied Caviar Kaspia, opens its doors in Lenox Hill later this week, bringing old world elegance to the The Mark Hotel.
“Opening Caviar Kaspia inside the iconic Upper East Side hotel is a milestone for our Parisian institution,” said Caviar Kaspia CEO Ramon Mac Crohon, “It’s a match made in luxury heaven.”

Located at 996 Madison Avenue, at the corner of East 78th Street, Caviar Kaspia at The Mark is the brand’s first permanent location in New York and features both a restaurant and boutique with interiors meticulously crafted by acclaimed French interior designer Jacques Granges — who also redesigned the rooms and public spaces of The Mark Hotel more than a decade ago.
In addition to the Parisian institution’s iconic blue tablecloths, emerald green mohair banquettes, wood-paneled walls and a sculptural Belgian Black marble bar inside the new UES establishment are said to embody the DNA of the original Caviar Kaspia, which opened in 1927.
“I was inspired by Caviar Kaspia’s original dining room on Place de la Madeleine in Paris, which is so intimate and warm,” explained designer Jacques Grange, “I felt passionate about remaining true to its design but translated through the eyes of the trendy and timeless Mark Hotel.”
The original Paris restaurant has been a celebrity hotspot for nearly a century, and is known to be a favorite of Beyonce and Jay-Z.

“Caviar Kaspia assumes its authentic attachment to the international sphere of fashion and creatives. It was therefore a natural evolution for us to open at The Mark Hotel with whom we share the same values, philosophy, and clientele,” said Mac Crohon.
On the menu, you’ll find what’s being called a celebration of the ‘Art of Caviar’ featuring the restaurant’s famous twice-baked potato topped with caviar, eggs with caviar, pasta with caviar, and even vegetarian caviar made from liquified and spherized truffle.
The Caviar Kaspia at The Mark opens to customers this Friday, February 17th, for its very first lunch service. Reservations are required and can be booked through Resy.
