Fodor's Expert Review Pétrus

Now in its third location, this Michelin-starred Gordon Ramsay flagship offers fine dining to the max without being overly stuffy or cautious. The cooking combines superb technique with creativity, blending complex and intricate flavors in dishes like Isle of Skye scallops with an olive oil sabayon; confit of turbot with pumpkin and clementines; or a prune soufflé with armagnac ice cream. The wine list is divinely decadent, offering, if you can afford them, some of the best wines in the entire world. The service and the room are both relaxed without being casual. Three-course set-price menus (£60 for lunch, £100 for dinner) are available as are more elaborate tasting menus and there is a "preferred smart dress code."
