Michelin Star Restaurant

Hi, Baukjen here. My husband (Geoff) is a real foodie and normally loves to cook or go out to restaurants. During this pregnancy I.ve gone off all food that has a hint of taste, preferring bland things like potato, spinach etc. I thought I.d organise a nice surprise for him and booked a table in one of Gordon Ramsey.s restaurants in London. Petrus was recommended and I.m not at all surprised! Geoff ordered the tasting menu, a massive 10 courses, albeit small ones. The waiter said that it was only possible to order the tasting menu if the whole table (i.e. 7 months pregnant me) participates. My husband looked at me, the waiter looked at me and I succumbed. To be honest I had no regrets, the courses were small and so tasty! Definitely one of the best meals I.ve ever had (pregnant or not). My husband also had an accompanying wine tasting menu which looked like it was fun . must come again to try that when I haven.t got a baby on board! The service was so good; it was a perfect night out. And they sent us home with truffles in a box which should hopefully have the babysitters (mum and step dad) volunteering again next time!
