Amazing place. The food is delicious, the presentation extraordinary. The foie gras parfait was great. The chocolate tart also was great. A Michelin star restaurant not to miss
Amazing experience, service was perfect, food was perfect, and prices were very affordable. What can I say? Everything was just the way it should be, like this food was meant to be cooked this way and there was no other alternative. Would definitely come back
This for me at least is one of the best restaurants in London! The venue itself is stunning and the food which is easily Michelin Star quality equally as special! Highly recommend
i can go to this place again and again and again. The food is always brilliant and well-priced, the service is first-rate and friendly & the wine list is excellent and reasonably priced.

Towards the end of last year I was fortune enough to travel to the UK for a few weeks. I had booked my return flight to London and decided to include some stops in Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh and Inverness too. After all, it’s not every day that one travels 9 000km to the Northern Hemisphere ;-) I remember the excitement I felt as the departure date of my trip closed in. I had planned to visit my family – who live on the Isle of Sheppey (about a two hour train trip from central London) – do some sightseeing, take the hop on hop off city buses (I love doing this when I travel – such a great way to see and experience a city), a little bit of shopping and of course some good food EATING! One of the very first restaurants my benedict and I booked for – and I mean months in advance – was Gordon Ramsay’s Michelin-star restaurant, Petrus. This was something we had both always wanted to do; it was sort of a ‘bucket list’ type treat to be able to eat at Petrus. And what an amazing experience it was.
An excellent restaurant by all means. Beautiful and charming ambience, excellent and professional service and creative and tasty food. All dishes were excellent. Not to be missed when in London
I still haven’t figured out how to get into Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, the three Michelin starred showpiece restaurant that’s rated as one of the UK’s best. Every time I’ve travelled to London, I’ve attempted a booking, on any day for lunch or dinner and have been stymied at every turn. There must be a secret code or website that only the well heeled know about; I wish I knew about it!
I went to have lunch with my friend and we decided to have set lunch menu. For the starter we had foie gras parfait. It was really nice but the parfait tastes too strong in my own opinion even when you eat it with bread. For the main course we both had slow cooked pork which was very lovely and tender. To close I had choux and my friend had chocolate cake. The choux was surely one of the best (I think it is quite similar with maitre choux). Yet, I did not try my friend's cake so I could not give any review for the chocolate cake
Pétrus is a restaurant under the Gordon Ramsay group but one which does not receive much in terms of publicity since its opening back in 2010. For those who have been around the London dining scene for a long time, you may remember that Pétrus was also the name of a restaurant located in the Berkeley Hotel, under one Marcus Wareing. After a much publicised spat and ‘divorce’, Wareing kept the original restaurant site, renamed it Restaurant Marcus Wareing (now simply Marcus) and Gordon kept the restaurant name Pétrus. Thus Pétrus in its current iteration was born. With its opening, Gordon had brought in his big guns, with Mark Askew (his then Group Executive Head Chef) and Sean Burbidge, tasked to ensure Michelin success. The restaurant went on to win a Michelin star in the next iteration of the guide, which it has kept ever since, but reviews on the internet, particularly from the blogging community have been ambivalent at best. The cooking these days is led by National Chef of the Year winner, Larry Jayasekara.
Expensive, but WORTH IT. I mean, it is not a restaurant anyone would hope to be cheap anyway. First of all, as expected: really good service. The only bad thing is we waited quite a bit between courses. I had the festive menu of: confit Loch Duart salmon, beef wellington, and chocolate and hazelnut parfait. They were all beautifully plated. We got complimentary consomme, delicious butter (from a famous butter maker if I may add), and sourdough bread. In the end we also got chocolate and caramel truffle which was very good.
Now the main dishes. The salmon was just okay, until I combined it with a little bit of everything on the plate: cucumber sauce, cream cheese, and wasabi sorbet. The flavours blend perfectly well. But if you like smooth foie gras and crispy chicken skin, I suggest trying the other appetizer since I tried my friend's and it was MORE delicious.
The beef wellington was really good, with well seasoned pastry, ham, mushroom covering, and pink fillet. Together with the bordelaise sauce it was stunning.
I love coffee, so I ordered the parfait which was really good. The jelly was tiny though. If you love dark chocolate, get the chocolate cremeux.
Beautiful space with beautiful and delicious food! It's not only dinner, but it's an experience and one worth the investment. The space is fabulous, the service impeccable, and the food does not disappoint. We went for my birthday dinner and it was delightful in every way. The sommelier was fabulous and we enjoyed speaking with him. I highly recommend the wine pairing!
We enjoyed a lovely meal. The food was excellent in every respect. The vegetarian menu was also very good and inventive. Dishes are very small but at the end of the tasting menu and the desserts you don’t feel hungry.
Waiters were for the most part very service oriented, though there were some lapses in wine pouring etiquette and leaning over patrons while refilling water glasses. Also, the booking process could have been smoother. Cooks in kitchen were very charismatic and happy for guests to look around and to explain what they did.
We had the chance to sit both in the main dining room and at the chef’s table in the kitchen. The main dining room is comfortable but nothing special in terms of decor. The chef’s table seating is showing its age but you get to see the kitchen work while you eat. There are no food smells yo worry about.
We enjoyed a meal to remember for sure.
The scallop was my fav dish of the dinner, lamb was average and I didn’t like the how the eel was cooked.
The wine recommended to us was matching well.
The service was not very friendly but meeting the standards.
I was very pleased with my visit. I suffer from anxiety and am on the spectrum so eating can be difficult for me. Especially since when I travel. But it has always been a dream of mine to go to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant and try the scallops.
Going into the restaurant I was greeted by friendly and professional staff. The lighting was low and the walls a deep red with an almost wooden texture I enjoyed a lot. The environment was clean and perfect.
I was an anxious mess due to my own personal issues but ordered the scallops and cod. I was pleasantly surprised by all the add ons you received. Such as small bite size creations and bread/butter. I was extremely full after just a starter and main course (sadly had to pass on dessert) but the staff still gave me some delicious treats at the end. The lemon biscuits are out of this world!
Everything was a work of art. You can really tell the designer of the menu has a artistic eye. The use of edible flowers and other dish components really made the dishes pop! I also enjoyed that everything was edible and not just for show. I wonderful touch.
The colours used in the cod dish where my favorite. Such warm earthy colors along with an earthy taste reminded me of a perfect autumn day. I was sad when I couldn’t finish the dish. The portions may look small but they pack a punch! I was so full.
Overall an experience I would recommend to everyone. It’s expensive but it’s a once in a life time experience you won’t forget.
We came for lunch and chose the Prestige menu (6 appropriately sized courses).
Every dish was prepared well, near perfect. But no dish stood out as a combination we’ve never had before or a bite we’d dream of for years to come. Maybe that’s too much to expect at the 1 star level.
You come here for a delicious meal and that’s exactly what you’ll get. If you’re uninterested/inexperienced with fine dining, this will be memorable (though perhaps overpriced for the value you get).
Atmosphere was bland though quiet and a good location. Interior is particularly outdated and uninspiring.
Staff was cordial but didn’t feel like they went out of their way to make us feel special (which is what we’ve experienced at other Michelin restaurants).
A truly remarkable experience with impeccable wine pairing. This was certainly and unforgettable experience. We are considering adding it to our annual experience when visiting London.
Overall the food is nice, but having Gordon ramsey’s name on the restaurant I just expected a touch more, two dishes were actually cold and couple of dishes needed just abit more seasoning.
At the end of the day Im dining at a restaurant from one of the greatest chefs in the world.
Will I go again: Probably Not
Food : 7/10
Service: 10/10
Value for money: 7/10
Price: £500 for two
Worth every pound! This was my treat on a trip that I have waited 24 years for. At least now I could spoil myself with a lovely memorable meal.
The scollops and the sause with the cod were my favourites. The restaurant also catered very well for my lacrose intollerance and swopped some of the dishes. The attention to detail is great and when I asked to see the menu again just to be reminded of the dishes I had, they printes me a personalised copy with my name and the date. This was totally unexpected, but shows you the service mentality of the team.
I expected more from Gordon Ramsay. The food was prepared nicely but nothing extraordinary. Nothing that we will remember or crave later. The dessert was the best part.
A Michelin 1 * fine dining experience in comfortable surroundings with the impressive circular glass wine room in the centre of the restaurant. We found the staff were generally attentive and friendly. Opted for the A La Carte menu 3 course at £110 pp (plus 15% service charge), food presentation very good and served at timely intervals. The main course 100 day aged Cumbrian Blue Grey cooked medium rare was the star dish.
