After much shifting and rescheduling, a new date for the reopening of Petrus has been announced. According to a press release just out, it will open its doors for business on for 29th March 2010. Sean Burbidge, who will be heading up the kitchens, following the departure of Marcus Wareing, will be offering dishes including fillet of Angus beef with Swiss chard, wild mushrooms and red wine sauce and baked line-caught sea bass with confit fennel and caviar sauce.
Some things won't have changed including Jean-Philippe Susilovic who, having worked as Restaurant Director for Petrus for five years, will return to his old position when it opens in March.
So, if you're interested in seeing what Ramsay Holdings has done with the Petrus brand after the move from the Berkeley Hotel to its current location of 1 Kinnerton Street in Knightsbridge, put 1 March 2010 in your diaries. Lines open for reservations at 9am that day on 020 7592 1609.
