5. The chicest: Kaspia
Mr. Arcady Fixon, a Russian emigrant, put down his trunks and his culture in a Paris of sumptuous parties, technical progress, the birth of Haute Couture, the golden age of the Moulin Rouge and the Folies Bergères... Since 80 years old, Kaspia caviar is one of the great meeting places. Kaspia caviar was introduced to many artists and their patrons and admirers; its caviar was then happily tasted by the great names of the Russian aristocracy who had emigrated to Paris, before very quickly gaining unanimity throughout the wealthy Parisian society.

STAY Paris thus offers the best of French cuisine while opening up to influences from around the world.

It is also a real concept since STAY Paris is launching its “sharing table” which can accommodate between 6 and 8 guests ready to test generous dishes made to measure. The chef's surprise!
