Gordon Ramsay revives his Mayfair outpost...
Petrus was the centre of the spat between Ramsay and the Marcus Wareing, who was head chef there before he left Gordon's empire and re-opened the old Petrus as Marcus Wareing at the Berkeley. Now Gordon makes it personal by re-opening Petrus just around the corner from where Wareing has set out his stall. The new Petrus will be on the intersection of Kinnerton and Motcomb streets and will feature an open cellar as the design feature at the centre of the restaurant.

"The fish was fine, but the samphire was overcooked. It looked limp and a bit sad to have been wrenched from the sea." READ REVIEW

"The food is entirely fine. That's as excited as I can get. It's well executed but there isn't one element I haven't seen done better elsewhere." READ REVIEW

"If Ramsay sticks with his current prices... and keeps up the level of service, Petrus is an acceptable option if you’re in the area." READ REVIEW

"The real problem is that the food is as bland as the room. Although our lunch ended in a joyous climax all the more juddering for its unexpectedness, with one exception every pre-pudding dish lacked definition and character." READ REVIEW
"Well, I hate to say it but I am rather surprised and most definitely a little impressed. The staff are very friendly; the food is really very good and even better than that is the value you get with the unbeatable set lunch menu is almost unbelievable." READ REVIEW
"...I can't find fault with Petrus, but I can't find it in my heart to recommend it either. " READ REVIEW

"It’s a horrid room with no good tables in it, built around a glass bottle-bank, with views of nothing but loos and reception desks, and a ceiling so low it’s like a cliffhanger at the end of Batman where you wonder how on earth he will escape before the trick roof grinds him into the floor."

"It was the quintessential michelin-standard meal. Unimpressionable, impersonal and dare I say out of date." READ REVIEW
"While Wareing's cooking is inventive, Ramsay is in the process of reinventing himself with faultless, unfussy interpretations of classic combinations." READ REVIEW

"It’s a can’t-go-wrong style, perfect for entertaining investments bankers anywhere. But, for us, that feeling – go on Gordon, surprise us a bit; inject a bit of drama into our lives – went unanswered." READ REVIEW
