Seafood and eat it | Party o'three review: Kaspar's at The Savoy

The three: Simon Gage, hates meat; Karen Krizanovich, hates calories; Stephen Unwin, hates currants For almost 90 years The Savoy has offered dining parties numbering thirteen the company of Kaspar the Cat.

Embracing superstition, the hotel started bringing a statue of Kaspar the Cat to tables of 13, complete with napkin and full table setting.

I’ve never been to Kaspar’s though … apparently Kaspar is the hotel’s mascot cat statue thing.

SG: I’m going to stick to the main menu and have the goat curd with heritage tomatoes.

It’s usually mushroom risotto or goat’s cheese tart and that’s your lot SU: That’s a bit ten years ago, isn’t it, courgette flowers?

Inspired by the decadence of the Twenties and Thirties, the opulent Art Deco design of Kaspar’s Seafood Bar and Grill truly complements the rich excitement of this all day dining affair.

Restaurant: Kaspar's at the Savoy | The Spectator

They preferred a two-foot-high sculpture of a cat called Kaspar, which was placed on a chair to make 14; as I have said before in this column, the rich can be very odd, as can be the flunkeys who try to anticipate their needs.

Kaspar, who now lives in the Savoy’s lobby, doesn’t even look particularly dinner-party friendly; I doubt he could stall Death.

Now Kaspar has his own restaurant at the back of the Savoy, beyond that weird tea-room where hedge-funders look like they are being attacked and eaten by chintz; I expect to see a pair of pin-striped legs hanging out of a sofa, limply wobbling, trying to get back to where the money lives.

Kaspar’s looks like every other new restaurant opening in London this decade; it looks like a tassel that has fallen off the Weimar Republic, and been preserved and dry-cleaned.

It feels remote from the grand history of the Savoy — I cannot smell the fires that burnt John of Gaunt’s great palace down, or anything except mint sauce and Diorissima — but behind its dull windows, it feels remote from everything.

Restaurant: Kaspar's, London WC2 | Life and style | The Guardian

Their behaviour is so consistently bizarre that it's clearly the house style (every restaurant has one, whether explicit or not).

If Kaspar's has such a document, I imagine it goes something like this: "Ask if everything was delicious.

Far worse are bloated, Germolene-hued smoked salmon sausages on apple sauerkraut – potentially a good idea, but here reduced to a greyish sludge – and horseradish.

I think the management is trying to do a Wolseley/Delaunay, but it adds up to something that might announce itself "the finest deluxe restaurant dining experience in all Chechnya".

There's no doubting the majesty of the Savoy – the impressive swoop down to Kaspar's makes you fear that someone will spot you as a common interloper and throw you out on your ear – but I'm not sure this is the restaurant it deserves.
