Petrus visited on 13th September 2016

 

We haven't been to Gordon Ramsay's Hospital Road restaurant yet, but from what we have been told by our members, is that the service is absolutely impeccable. And the food is of an extremely high standard, albeit it is reflected in the sizable price tag.

We have, however, been to some other Gordon Ramsay restaurants and so far they have been pretty inadequate. We were a group of 12 people at his Heddon Street restaurant last year, and sadly not one of our guests liked the food, it was of a very poor standard. We have also been to his gastropub restaurant in Maida Vale, The Warrington, and again we thought the food was pretty poor, and not what you expect from this mega star celebrity chef. (In fact we don't think that he is at The Warrington Pub any more).

 

However seeing a very reasonable deal at his Petrus restaurant, that has glowing reviews, we decided to book and try this one, with 8 guests.

 

The great Bookatable offer was for 4 courses plus a glass of champagne, and lots of extras, amuse bouche and palette cleansers, and all for the incredible price of only £45 plus service charge.

After walking through some beautifully, quaint and upmarket streets of Knightsbridge, we walked into the restaurant and was immediately impressed. It had been designed exceedingly well, with a huge glass feature for wine storage in the middle of the restaurant.

Led to our tables we were presented with our glasses of champagne. Next we were offered on little wooden display boards, a small canape of 'salt and vinegar' on a home-made style crisp and also a rabbit canape. Not eating rabbit we instantly refused the rabbit canape, and to our surprise the waitress went into the kitchen and organised an alternative canape for us.

 

Next we were given a bread basket of white or rye sour dough and butter.
