Fine Dining on Site

The Berkeley features the acclaimed, Michelin star rated Petrus. Marcus Wareing, the Crown Prince of British cooking, opened Petrus at its new location within The Berkeley in the autumn of 2003. The name of the restaurant comes from the famous Chateau in the Bordeaux wine region, which is renowned for producing some of the world's finest wines. The restaurant's setting provides the perfect stage for Marcus' theatrical cuisine. Rich with vivid colours, the interior is the work of designer David Collins who takes full advantage of the claret textures associated with Petrus. The Boxwood Cafe combines the best traditions of service with a relaxed atmosphere to offer a classic English dining experience. The decor is inspired by a classical English garden and the seasonal menu reflects ingredients that could be found at a traditional British market. The Blue Bar is chic and effortlessly stylish. The 50-seat bar is a striking blue color, and has a white onyx bar and a black crocodile print leather floor. Choose from over 50 different whiskies, a wide range of champagnes, original and classic cocktails and a selected range of wine by the glass. A specially created Grape and Smoke menu is designed to pair cigars with carefully chosen wines to enhance the connoisseur's enjoyment. Lastly, The Caramel Room is available as a venue throughout the day for light meals or drinks as well as Pret-a-Portea, the fashionista's afternoon tea.
