Hi everyone. I am definitely brand new here. My boyfriend is from HK so that's how I found out about this website.
Anyways...here we go about the restaurant. It was my first time spending a getaway weekend with my boyfriend in HK. Since he knew that I have a special craving for Italian cuisine and have never tried French food before, he made a reservation for Petrus for our anniversary.
As we walked out of the elevator, there was a sense of expectation like you knew you were about to enter somewhere very special. Apart from the breathtaking view of Victoria Harbor enhanced by the large crystal windows, there are plenty of statues and paintings on the wall that were pure art, and the lamps and carpet just added a special flavor to it. The nicest touch to me was their “handbag stools” they provide for the ladies.
Since I had to catch a flight later afternoon, we only went there for lunch. So we both ordered the set menu. I had the tomato and black truffle risotto as well as the Atlantic cod. The dishes were wonderfully decorated and well prepared. I was amazed by the tenderness and freshness of the fish since it is usually very hard to achieve the right balance of ingredients and cook for the right amount of time. I personally think as a seafood lover, that was the best fish I have ever tried! However, I found both of them a little salty to my standard, especially the risotto. For dessert, I was actually slightly disappointed due to my high expectations for the servant’s recommendations. I had warm bitter chocolate soufflé and my boyfriend had lavender sherbet. The soufflé was above average—chocolate was a little too sweet to me and it was a little over baked—not surprising enough. The lavender sherbet did not taste like lavender. It was instead covered with chunks of mango. We actually thought they missed our order.
However, despite my over-harshness about the food, I still enjoyed their impeccable service and would recommend to anyone who wants to indulge their special ones. The food, I have to say, was excellent, but just not sublime. However, the entire experience was truly spectacular. It is the venue to spoil your love!
