The Caviar Bar set to open debut site at GPE's Medici Courtyard
Specialist UK leisure property agency, Shelley Sandzer, has acted on behalf of landlord GPE to secure a debut site for The Caviar Bar, the luxury dining experience synonymous with exceptional caviar and seafood, within Medici Courtyard, located just off Mayfair’s Hanover Square.
The Caviar Bar will deliver a day-to-night, luxurious dining experience. It will also incorporate a retail element, so visitors can enjoy the produce within the restaurant’s opulent interior, purchase it as gifts or to be enjoyed off-site.
The Caviar Bar will serve reasonably priced, authentic seafood dishes, from an extensive caviar selection of Royal Beluga, Oscietra, Imperial, and Royal Baerli – all served with traditional blinis, potato & créme fraiche – to Oysters, Sushi, small plates, and seafood platters. The drinks list will include fine wines and champagne, with an emphasis on white wine pairings and premium spirits. The interior has been designed in-house with a focus on onyx and mirrors for a luxury feel throughout, with the bar serving as the centrepiece within the space.
The Caviar Bar is set to join the landmark Hanover mixed-use destination later this year, within a 700 sq ft unit with a mezzanine, fronting onto the 8,400 sq ft Medici Courtyard, one of the first public courtyards to open in Mayfair for more than a century. The Caviar Bar will join several other premium names at Hanover including, Bang & Olufsen, Canali, Pronovias, Opera Gallery, Seiko and Moyses Stevens, as well as WatchHouse coffee house and The MAINE restaurant who are located in the heart of Hanover’s newly created Medici Courtyard.
Andrea Secchi, Head of Operations for The Caviar Bar, said: “The Caviar Bar will be a fantastic addition to the neighbourhood of Mayfair and will bring something unique and distinctive to Medici Courtyard. It has been specifically designed to create a special experience for the people who live in, work in, and visit the neighbourhood, with a day-to-night offer and quality in both taste and service. We’re looking forward to opening later this year and bringing our authentic, reasonably priced caviar to this prime West End location.”
Sarah Goldman, Head of Retail at GPE, said: “Adding The Caviar Bar to our retail offering within Hanover continues to establish Medici Courtyard as a luxury retail and dining destination, on the doorstep of Bond Street and the Elizabeth Line station. We are also looking forward to Hackett and Bang & Olufsen opening later this year, shortly followed by Dsquared, to complete the Bond Street retail line up. Over the past few months, footfall has been on the rise in London’s West End – up 6% year-to-date compared with last year.”
Ted Schama, Joint Managing Partner at Shelley Sandzer, who acted on behalf of GPE in the deal, added: “It has been great to work alongside GPE in securing The Caviar Bar’s debut concept. Not only does it radiate class and luxury, but it embodies the very essence of Mayfair and will fit seamlessly with the surrounding tenants, as well as being situated in an accessible, high footfall area for commuters and tourists, with the Elizabeth Line a stone’s throw away. As experts in the field, we know exactly what kind of concepts will thrive and where, and look forward to watching this concept come to life.”
This follows the news that Shelley Sandzer has acted for Cain International on Sticky Mango’s third location, at Islington Square, as well as securing a flagship site for the plant-based concept, Holy Carrot, at 156 Portobello Road in an off-market deal.
