LONDON - Gordon Ramsay's Petrus

Petrus which is owned by Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay's serving Modern French cuisine.  And depending on the year hold's 1 or 2 Michelin stars.  I believe they currently only retain 1 Michelin star.

Cutie Hubby :)

The decor at this restaurant is what I like to refer to as "The Four Seasons".  

Don't get me wrong I love the Four Seasons hotel but the decor is generally muted, bland and slightly boring. In other words not offensive to anyone.  

Great if you're staying at a hotel however when I'm dining in a fine dining restaurant I generally prefer the decor to be speak to me because I feel that it definitely imparts to the ambiance and the dining experience.

I have to be honest.  I'm a little surprised that this restaurant even retains 1 Michelin star.  Both The Hubs and I were completely underwhelmed.  The decor was cold and sterile.. and the food was equally bland. The best part of the meal was the Foie Gras which was truly delicious however the rest was just average at best.

The Hubs actually remarked after the meal that he would have rather I spent the money we spent on dinner at Duty Free AHAHAH. I think that speaks volumes about the meal.

Our lovely hotel at night!  

Love the "mood" lightening hehe.

Tired, sleepy hubby after a couple glasses of wine & champagne lol.  

It was also 1am at this point and we'd been up since 6am!

But I had to snap a pic because he was so cute all dressed-up :p

Cartier Reveal :)

While we were in London (London Part 1) the Hubs surprised me with a little something pretty from Cartier which he secretly orchestrated before we even got to London!

The Cartier store really hooked it up lol so much red!!

Love all the gorgeous decadent packaging!

Cartier Love Bangle in Yellow Gold!

*sigh*

The Hubs has actually tried to get it for me a couple times throughout the past few years but I always said no (which I suspect was why he just went ahead and purchased it this time without telling me lol.)   Mainly because I'm the type that needs to immediately take off ALL of my jewelry as soon as I walk through the front door. I don't even wear my engagement ring or wedding band around the house.  (I know some girls wear their wedding jewelry all the time.. cooking, cleaning, showering, sleeping, ect. but you really shouldn't do that because of the constant wear & tear to the prongs on your rings which can cause you to lose your diamonds).  Anyways I felt like something that I wouldn't be able to take off EVER would drive me nuts.  

Well let's just say I've gotten use to it very quickly lol!

I find myself randomly staring down at my wrist throughout the day lol.

#die #obsessed #love

Along with the purchase they threw in some small Cartier coffee table books, the velvet traveling bag pictured on the left.  And the Cartier Jewelry cleaning kit on the right.  The Cleaning kit comes with their cleaning solution (to be totally honest though I just use a little hot water and some dish washing soap to clean all my diamonds and my Cartier bangle!), a tiny toothbrush and a little cleaning cloth that has the "Cartier" emblem printed on it. lol. 

Thank you so much booboo! 

You really make all my dreams come true!
