The story
Petrus anchors a quiet corner of Novi Sad where refined domestic and international cuisine meets a living historical landmark. The dining room rests under the branches of a two-century-old koprivica tree declared a natural monument. Critics from Gault&Millau awarded the kitchen an 11.5 score for its versatile menu and consistent execution across lunch and dinner services.
The culinary team applies this same dedication to Serbian and global cooking, refining traditional recipes through careful ingredient selection. The chef’s salad pairs seared beef steak with mixed greens, cheddar cheese, kidney beans, and marinated zucchini, dressed in sharp aceto. Aromatic chicken arrives alongside soft gnocchi swimming in a dense Parmesan and sour cream reduction.
Barmenders treat the drink program with equal precision, blending premium spirits, house-infused fruits, and quality bitters into structured cocktails. The evening service highlights lamb and veal cuts, grilled sea bass, and seasonal risottos that pair naturally with the curated wine list. Guests appreciate how the focused beverage program complements the broader domestic and international cuisine.
