we arrived at 7-ish and were the first pair to arrive at Petrus. There were 2 set menus - 1 Autumn menu with 8 courses and the other with 4. We decided to go for the one with 8. i had it without wine while my boyfriend chose to be paired with wine.We were first served with french sausages which could be dipped into yoghurt.

We were first served with french sausages which could be dipped into yoghurt. There were a few kinds - ham & cheese, duck, combination of pork & duck... tasted a bit like chinese sausages to me but it was quite a new experience.
A little booklet of our menu for the night was placed on the table for us to refer to so we know the progress for the dinner and what dishes we are served.
Warm tourteau crab and giner crumble Crabmeat was sliced and other ingredients like cucumber and other vegetables were diced. It had a slight taste of lemon confit so it was pretty refreshing as a appetizer to start our journey
Jerusalem artichoke and Piedmont hazelnut soup I liked this a lot since it was my first time to have hazelnut being cooked in hot dishes rather than desserts. A nice try to make soup with hazelnut and it was not too filling as there was artichoke too.
Seared scallop, chestnut cream and white truffle nage foam the inner part of the scallop was tender and it blended well with the chestnut cream which I usually only related to desserts. The taste was not too strong so you could have the taste of the scallop itself.
Sweet basque chili piperade, Iberian chorizo and calamari a la plancha I am not a big fan of squids, so I only found this ok. The piperade was well made though, which I finished all up The chorizo was a bit too strong for my liking and the calamari was not bad, not too chewy.
Truffle pig trotter caillette, marinated wild mushrooms The caillette was mainly made of pork, with some greens and spices. It was like a round and plump sausage. The first few bites were really good! The texture was so tender and it was really meaty. It got a bit filling when I finished half of the caillette, but I reckon it would be a great dish for meat lovers.
Roast Mieral mallard duck, canape and white cabbage confit i liked the canape which I found it nice enough for me to rest my fingers a bit since it was hard to cut the duck. The duck was not bad, but it took really long before I could cut them into pieces. It would be better if it were served in thinner slices.
Cheese selection we were done with the main courses and it was time to choose cheese. We had the hard and mild ones and we could choose from a range of breads. Apart from cheese, crackers, grapes and breads on our platter, they also offered us fruit paste, to clear up the cheese smell before you had a bite of some other cheese.
Warm William Pear Crumble, caramel sauce with pear and ginger sherbet Here came our long-awaited dessert! hmmmm! it was goood It tasted a bit like chocolate mousse/ tiramisu with a really refreshing pear and ginger sherbet in the middle of the crumble! Very good I would say
The waiter was generous enough to give us two plates of petit fours so both of us could try out every different kind of the little desserts. They had chocolates, macaron, small cakes and mini-tarts. Felt a bit guilty for not being able to finish them all up since we were really full already. The dark chocolates were good.
Service was fine in general. They explained in detail about every courses they brought to our table, and readily answered our questions on the courses served for other tables. There was a harpist playing during the night, though the songs she played did not really fit too well in the classic french dining ambience because I recognized some of the songs were actually pop music (i.e. candle in the wind) and disney songs.
Overall it was a great night, and the view was spectacular. Would love to come back again some time
