This is where we where, my wife and me. Sitting on top of the world for her birthday, at the Petrus Restaurant in the Shangri La Hong Kong. We went there just a little bit after the New Years Eve, having spent the holidays eating and drinking in France (where we come from) we had no real appetite for large portions and my grand ma's type of food (rather greasy to tell you everything! ). But still we where looking for French cuisine, Michelin type, or modern cuisine if you like. Oh not the 3 sta
Service is outstanding and beats everything I have experienced in HK so far (and I have tried a few already). Nice without being too formal, listening and recommending (the lamb chops where divine) and discreet. This is the first time I experience this type of service "a la francaise". So far I have been used (and I also like it!) to a more local service (ie your dishes served all in once with no order and minimal delicatesse).
Food was very very good and not too heavy (ie didn't take me two more days to digest like my grand ma's food I was mentionning before!). You can get a very good cheese also and desserts are excellent. Wine was not so good but, I have to admit, I can only blame myself as I chose without asking the sommelier (who did not seem so happy about my choice but was polite enough not to say anything as I must have looked very decided...!).
View is quite unique and the atmosphere is good but I have to say a little bit tacky from my point of view. There is also a harpist (er Harpl player maybe? Not sure here) playing classic (Debussy) and more modern music (yes you read me right, no hard rock though but still some Beattles, pretty fun to hear actually as a little bit strange in the general environment, I loved the touch it added even though I can't really say I enjoy harps!).
Of course, it all comes with a price but hey, face it when you want to please someone and you are sharing the birthday present with her or him (part of it at least!) you should not worry about the price (well not so much, come on!). Still make sure you are aware of the budget before you go! But here is a tip for the ones who can't or want to try before the big jump, go there for lunch for less than 380HKD (if I recall correctly) you will get a very good feel of the quality, the food and the service.
