Petrossian, a caviar specialty shop that I honestly overlooked while browsing the dineLA list for 2009. Thankfully, to Jo of MyLastBite, I did not make that foolish mistake. I was about to embark on one of my best meals in 2009.

The truffle mac n cheese is BEYOND phenomenal!!! There is a lot of hype over this dish and it did not fail to deliver. In fact, it went beyond the hype and easily blew us out of the water. The beautiful al dente orrechiette pasta in a rich parmesan cream sauce with bacon, chives, and sliced black truffles hit it out of the park. The entire time while devouring this dish, we could not stop saying how good it was. Who would have though of taking such a simple and comforting dish such as macaroni and cheese and making it into such an indulgent and luxurious delicacy? I probably could have eaten an entire bowl of this and be set for the night.

I've been *heart*ing Petrossian for a while now, ever since the words "truffle mac and cheese" fell upon my ears. Thus, when this current Winter 2010 DineLA Restaurant Week came rolling around, I knew - If I only had one restaurant to go to this season, it would be Petrossian.

For us non-breeder, LA transplant types, Christmas eve dinner usually involves making a reservation rather than a ham.
In terms of special occasions, it’s up there with birthday dinners and New Year’s Eve. And don’t even get me started on Valentine’s Day.
But after 12 months of fine dining, where do you go that’s going to excite you? That has an appropriate sense of occasion? That is memorable and is, in some sense, special?
This year we picked Petrossian.
And we felt like Christmas had come early.
Well, slightly early. Say around 9pm on Christmas Eve. So perhaps three hours early.

As you might've heard, this is the very first "West Coast" branch of the world renowned Petrossian Paris brand, which includes the Lanvin chandelier-clad, Art Deco inspired, fancy-schmancy Petrossian Restaurant on Manhattan's West Side. This new Robertson location is akin to the much-more casual "Petrossian Cafe" located on Manhattan's 7th Street. The Petrossian Family also remains the top exclusive buyer/importer of quality caviar, and also deals in specialty fish, and other fancy food such as foie gras, truffles and candy.

Petrossian is famous for its caviar, but its West Hollywood outpost has had a cafe attached to it for many years. This has recently been renovated to a spacious modern space.
Besides the a la carte menu, they also offer a 3-course champagne brunch for $35. I opted for this and got a glass of Louis Roederer Brut Rose.
The first course was a choice of soup selection and I opted for the White Asparagus Veloute.
The veloute was smooth and creamy while maintaining the foaminess of veloute. It was outstanding, with a nice little onion kick. Highly recommended.
For the main course, I went with the Paris Croque Madame (Ham, gruyere on brioche with Bechamel sauce, sunny side up eggs)
Croque madame is the perfect breakfast for me. Eggs, cheese, ham, toast ... Not to mention Brioche toast here. Perfect. Runny sunny side up, nicely toasted brioche, lots of gruyere. Even a bit of salad to cut all that richness so you can go for another bite, since the first bite was immensely satisfying.
Classic Panna Cotta, white peach espuma, with an extra addition of caviar ($6 extra)
Beautiful layering here: panna cotta, white peaches, topped with the espuma.
The second time I had panna cotta with caviar in a week. That bit of saltiness does give it a nice touch, but it isn't the point here.
The panna cotta was very dense and rich, more so than the usual. The white peaches were sweet and crisp, and everything was complimented by the light peach foam on top. An excellent and very memorable dessert, I would recommend this to anyone and would definitely get it on future visits.
My first visit to Petrossian was such a pleasant surprise. The newly renovated space had a clean and spacious look, and the food was excellent. I hope they'll keep up the performance.
