A lively, music-heavy open fire restaurant on Notting Hill's Golborne Road.

Two of the team behind chef Chris Denney’s acclaimed restaurant Fiend have opened this venue just off Portobello, promising wine, music and a seasonal menu of dishes done on an open grill. The ground floor includes a bar, open-theatre kitchen for 10 diners, with a 12-cover wine room at the rear of the room. The basement is home to a high-end record player and soundsystem, with a vinyl selection from Stranger Than Paradise Records founder Noreen McShane; music spans jazz, funk, tropical and disco. 

The name is a nod to Caia Caecilia, a Roman Goddess of fire - so expect a focus on locally-sourced, seasonally-changing dishes mostly cooked over an open grill. Highlights include: Monkfish with creamed, barbecued corn; soft duck egg with pickled beetroot, chickpeas and courgette and blackened “smokey potato” with mushed borlotti beans, roast garlic miso and a dusting of parmesan.
