Petrossian South Kensington

Exquisite Caviar and Impeccable Service

Upon entering Petrossian, one is immediately struck by the well-honed attention to opulence and elegant decor, a fitting nod to its renowned caviar and luxury goods. It’s a place that wears sophistication with ease, yet doesn’t shy away from presenting familiar warmth through its staff, who demonstrate kindness akin to that of an old friend welcoming you home. Sasha, in particular, stands out with her intuitive service, making the dining experience both seamless and intimate. Loic’s expertise in all things caviar effortlessly guided our culinary journey, transforming what might have seemed esoteric into an adventure of discovery.

Aside from its celebrated caviar selection, the menu at Petrossian offers high-quality offerings that make any afternoon feel like a subtly orchestrated indulgence. The smoked salmon deservedly garners mentions for its taste—a delicate smoothness that seemingly melts against the tongue. Foie gras arrives as a particular triumph, rich yet balanced, complemented impeccably by a splash of their unique spiced vodka. While some may find fault with certain offerings or the occasional waiting period, such minor hiccups are easily overshadowed by the restaurant's overarching allure and unerring dedication to quality. Petrossian skillfully curates an experience where luxury aligns comfortably with genuineness, creating echoes of decadence one will indeed fondly revisit. — Nigel Gourmet
