Houston’s Best Caviar Restaurants for National Caviar Day or Any Special Occasion
It's Time to Reach for the Pearl Spoon
BY Shelby Hodge // 07.13.21Dutch Platinum Osetra Caviar, farmed in the Netherlands, is on the menu at Brasserie 19 and sister restaurant Gratify Neighborhood Bistro.
One doesn’t require a special holiday or occasion to indulge in the luxury of caviar but National Caviar Day on Sunday presents and undeniable opportunity to dig into that “other black gold.” Restaurants across the city are joining the celebration with a variety of special offerings this weekend.
Some aren’t. But caviar is a worthwhile indulgence even without a discount.
This is your guide to Houston’s best caviar restaurants:
Tony’s
Tony’s is taking the leap on both Friday and Saturday with premium caviar selections offered at half price. Diners will be able to compare the flavor profiles of its Golden Kaluga, normally $90, for $45; Golden Osetra, normally $140, for $70; Platinum Osetra, normally $160, for $80; and Grandeur, normally $190, for $95.
“The Golden Kaluga from the Amur River boasts buttery notes in comparison to the nutty flavor profile of the Golden Osetra from Bulgaria,” Tony’s advises. “Discover the firm texture of the Platinum Osetra from Holland and last but not least the rich Grandeur from Idaho.”
Tony’s launched a special Wednesday caviar tasting earlier this summer. A half-ounce of each of the fine dining restaurant’s four premium caviar are offered for $150 per person.
