Accented by stunning views, superior service and exquisite fellow menu items, read on for Modern Luxury's top picks for where to enjoy caviar service, dishes and cocktails in Los Angeles.
Amour WeHo
8715 Beverly Blvd 90048/ Website
Amour Weho entices with elegance, charm and an excellent French menu. The Paris-inspired dining experience can be made all the better by caviar. At the bar or in the lounge, treat yourself to caviar service with golden osetra, homemade blinis and creme fraiche. You can also enliven the start of your dinner with a traditional service featuring Caviar Oscietre de Maison Kaviari or a sumptuous seafood platter and Saumon Gravlax a la Bettrave (smoked salmon, dill-lemon cream, beetroot confit, blinis), which both offer the choice to add on caviar. Immersed in the lush garden patio or stylish dining room, the delicacy certifies an Amour meal as a true luxury.
Dante Beverly Hills
225 N Canon Dr 90210/ Website
Dante Beverly Hills is for the caviar-obsessed individual. Offering the delicacy both in savory and libation form, The Maybourne Beverly Hills restaurant satisfies fans of a stiff, but luxe drink with a caviar martini. To match, opt for the traditional service featuring Calvisus Prestige caviar or, for something more hearty, the Crispy Baked Potato with creme fraiche, chives and your choice of 10, 30 or 60 grams of caviar. The lavish experience is matched by dazzling city views extending to the Hollywood Hills.
The Lonely Oyster
1320 Echo Park Ave 90026/ Website
As you might guess from the name, The Lonely Oyster proves caviar’s best friend is oysters. You’ll be convinced by The Lonely Oyster Martini, a martini capped with a caviar-dolloped oyster. Alternatively, you can enjoy Cavi Bumps with two grams of osetra caviar, creme fraiche and chive between rounds of sustainably sourced oysters. If you prefer to skip the oysters, there’s also the zesty Uni-Cavi Wonton made with wild uni, osetra caviar, chive and wasabi aioli and, at brunch, the gorgeous Uni Cavi Hashy. Cut through the thick, buttered hashbrown topped with uni, caviar, roe, chive and creme fraiche, and savory egg yolk oozes out.
Orla by Michael Mina
1700 Ocean Ave 90401/ Website
For ocean views and Greek and Egyptian flavors with your caviar indulgence, head to Orla by Michael Mina. The opulent Mediterranean restaurant puts you in eyesight of the shimmering Pacific, a harmonious complement to its variety of caviar-doused dishes. The Royal Caviar Fateer makes the delicacy the star of the show. Atop the round, flaky Egyptian pastry, ashta cream, chive, dill and your choice of caviar burst with flavor. Additionally, the phyllo-crusted Dover sole is rich with a caviar cream, and you can make an order of the Zucchini Fritters extra luxurious with a caviar supplement.
Providence
5955 Melrose Ave 90038/ Website
Just one of five restaurants with a Michelin Green Star (alongside its two-star Michelin rating), chef Michael Cimarusti’s Providence has wowed diners with a seafood-forward seasonal tasting menu for nearly twenty years. The revolving lineup of dishes is known to feature a caviar amuse-bouche, but the dining experience can also always be elevated by a caviar add-on. Providence’s farm-raised caviar comes with blini and traditional accompaniments, showcasing the Hollywood restaurant’s reputation for excellence through a single course.
Spago Beverly Hills
176 N Canon Dr 90210/ Website
Wolfgang Puck’s refined California cuisine loops in caviar in seasonal dishes, so it’s imperative to keep an eye out for specials here (like the memorable, savory cannoli). Nevertheless, Spago Beverly Hills always ensures its luxury standards by having the option to add caviar to a variety of dishes. In fact, arguably the best way to enjoy the renowned smoked salmon pizza is with a dash of caviar. You can also find caviar on the tasting menu’s Santa Barbara Uni Egg and on the bar menu, which pairs Kaluga caviar with toasted brioche, creme fraiche, Golden Yolk jam and red onions.
Uchi West Hollywood
9001 Santa Monica Blvd 90069/ Website
James Beard Award‑winning chef Tyson Cole’s innovative Japanese cuisine has landed Uchi across the country, growing from its original Austin location to Miami, Denver and beyond. In West Hollywood, you can discover the brilliance of Uchi through a feast of premier sashimi and nigiri; impressive cold and hot plates and, of course, caviar. Paired with a scallion pancake taiyaki and house-cultured butter, diners can opt for their choice of a 15-gram caviar tin (smoked trout roe, kaluga hybrid, white sturgeon, golden osetra). For the ultimate morsel, don’t skip on an order of the kaluga gunkan, a decadent bite of sushi rice and caviar wrapped in nori.
Petrossian West Hollywood
321 N Robertson Blvd 90048 / Website
Established in 1920, the Petrossian brand has had over a century to master the caviar market. With a restaurant and boutique in West Hollywood, Petrossian offers a wide variety of caviar dishes, such as their caviar tart, caviar frites, caviar scrambled eggs and more. Plus, there is an on-site boutique where you can take osetra, kaluga huso hybrid, beluga hybrid, baika and more home.
Castaway
1250 E Harvard Rd 91501 / Website
This Burbank gem is a gorgeous spot for a romantic dinner or brunch with friends. With views of the valley and L.A. skyline, flashy cocktails, rich entrees and more, Castaway is also a great spot for caviar frites. Crispy Yukon gold fries topped with caviar and drizzled with vodka crème fraiche go perfectly with a classic steak dinner, hearty salad lunch or savory brunch.
