Gauche Caviar is a popular nightspot among Lebanon's wealthy young elite. It is Monday night and the bar is packed. Outside, top-of-the-range Mercedes and Range Rovers disgorge young Lebanese party-goers. The bar is part-owned by Paddy Cochrane, a half-Lebanese businessman who moved to the country from the UK in the early 2000s. Aside from Gauche Caviar, he and his business partner own another nightclub, a tanning salon and they are building a restaurant.
