Restaurant Petrus

Petrus delivers a high standard of French fine dining in terms of food and service, but the experience depends a lot on where you are seated in the room. ​ The food is the standout part of the experience, with dishes that are precisely cooked, beautifully plated and clearly based on high-quality ingredients. Sauces are well balanced, portions are appropriate for fine dining, and tasting menus are structured so that flavours build nicely without feeling heavy or repetitive. Desserts are also a highlight, with classic French techniques and modern presentation. ​ Service is professional, courteous and generally well-paced, with staff who can explain the menu and specials in detail. Plates are cleared smoothly, allergies or preferences are handled competently, and the overall impression is of a well-trained team typical of a Michelin-starred hotel restaurant. The main dining room near the windows offers elegant décor and impressive harbour views, creating the classic special-occasion atmosphere many people expect from Petrus. However, when we sat towards the back of the restaurant, the ambience was noticeably flatter: there was little or no view, less natural light, and we felt more “parked” away from the room’s energy. For those seats, the experience leans more towards a quiet hotel function space than a lively destination restaurant. Overall, Petrus is very strong on food and solid on service, and remains a good choice for serious French cuisine in Hong Kong. To get the best value from the experience, it is worth requesting a table by the window or in the main section of the room when you book, as sitting at the back does take away a noticeable part of the atmosphere.

I went to Petrus for lunch before, but this was the first time I tried them for dinner. I got to say that I am very impressed. The level of service was top notched from the moment we walked in. From making sure the table was in a perfect condition, pulling out the chairs for us in order to sit down, refilling the water for us promptly each time - the attention to detail was awesome and impeccable. I tried them for dinner vegetarian set dinner menu this time- with 5 courses. The highlights for me were the main course - consisting of beetroot, tortellini, raspberry, and ricotta - it looked more like a modern art painting than a dish! The flavours were top notch as well - not too salty, refreshing, and delightful. The dessert was awesome too - a mixture of pineapple, mint, cucumber, and vanilla - it was a joy to look at, and a pleasure to the taste buds. As we were going for a birthday celebration, we were treated to a chocolate birthday cake with the desserts too. It was shaped as an old fashioned round shaped record lying on a record player - very classy! We were needless to say very very full afterwards! The price wasn’t cheap, but for a one Michelin starred restaurant, offering this kind of food quality, service, and a Birds Eye view over Hong Kong island- I would say it was an exquisitely enjoyable evening!

I enjoyed a wonderful 4-Hands Dinner at Petrus, Island Shangri-La Hong Kong. The dishes were delicious, especially the langoustine and the caramelized fennel cheesecake. Thank you to Bipana, Penny, Nicolas, Cass, and Chef for the warm and attentive service. You all made the evening very special. I look forward to coming back again soon!

What an experience! A must do when in Hong Kong! 6 courses of exquisite and meticulously arranged masterpieces, with a symphony of flavours, and customised to my ovo-lacto-vegetarian diet preference!

A huge thank you to the team at Petrus, and especially to Nicolas, for arranging the most wonderful seating for our party of three. The harbour view was absolutely superb and made our special lunch even more memorable. As always, the food was impeccable and the service was exceptional. This remains one of my favourite restaurants in Hong Kong, and I will undoubtedly be returning soon.

This is the classic ! Exceptional service and high quality cuisine with a gorgeous night view. It was an unforgettable birthday. Especially thanks to Penny and her colleagues for the arrangement; very thoughtful and we appreciated a lot. Also, credit to chef creating the special summer menu, have to mention the artichoke dessert (although I like the mango more haha)

4-Course Dinner Menu at Petrus, Shangri-La Hong Kong Beautifully plated, heavily taste, impeccable services, Petrus really stands out. The friendliness and attentiveness staff made the night more memorable . Special thanks to Sammy who has made great effort to make our dining experience more delightful :) Thank you

Classic ! Exceptional service and high quality cuisine with a gorgeous million dollar night view. A very precise cuisine with excellent execution. Bravo to the chef. One of the best place in town… Not to mention the deep wine list!

Food: 4.0/5.0 Service: 4.0/5.0 Value: 1.5/5.0 Decor: 4.0/5.0 Overall: 3.5/5.0 Food is definitely good but imo not worth the price point. This spot reminds me of L* *er****** in NY, but in a not quite there despite trying really hard kind of way. Bread game was meh.

Celebrated my birthday last month at Petrus, one of the best and classic French restaurants in HK. It was not my first time dining there but Petrus never ceases to amaze us! Their food and service quality is always consistently excellent. We tried lots of different dishes, some of my favourite are Lobster with broccoli mouselline & romensco lemon thyme sauce and Panseared Scallop with rainbow carrot & blood orange sauce. The scallop tasted so fresh and I loved the natural sweetness of carrot. Lobster is always my favourite seafood as I love the chewy texture. Petrus is like my celebration home place!

Extremely helpful and nice staff, amazing views, and delicious food. Best french cuisine Ive had in HK! It comes in small portions but there are a lot of courses so you can try a little of everything. The fish was amaaaazing! (Brown rectangle thing in one of my photos). I had ordered a set meal but everything was great (even the bread :D). perfect for date night if yall wanna impress a girl (or a guy) or a nice family meal if you wanna treat yo parents (or your kids). Quiet atmosphere so you can actually hear what people at your table are saying and you have comfortable space to sit :) highly recommend!!

As hotel guests at the Shangri-la Kowloon, our manager arranged dinner reservations for us at Petrus Shangri-la Hong Kong Island. We were seated in semi private table with a beautiful view. Piano beautifully playing. Chef Ricardo Chaneton visited with us and the dinner was just superb. Started our dinner with assortment of bread with Caviar and Escargot. I ordered the chef's recommended fixed prix dinner. Enjoyed every bite. Waited by 3 waiters/waitress. This was a birthday I will never forget. We dined with good HK friends who said this was the best french restaurant for all of Hong Kong...and we were not disappointed. This restaurant was one of the best dining experience on our 6 week/4 country Asia travel. Relax, enjoy the music, food, view, and good friends. An evening never to forget.
