We work closely with our dedicated suppliers enabling our team to source the best of ingredients. Culinary ingenuity and skill from the kitchen combined with warm, professional service makes Pearl one of Dublin’s premier fine dining experiences.

This is a restaurant I really like but on my last visit I was extremely disappointed with the wine service. It is what I hate in a restaurant - constant refilling of wine glasses when only a mouthful of wine has been taken. It is not what I expected from a restaurant of this calibre and took away from what was otherwise a lovely evening.

Absolutely fantastic Christmas menu! We thoroughly enjoyed our night. The food and wine were exquisite. We practically tasted all of the menu between the five of us and everything was really delicious! We love dining at Pearl Brasserie and will be back soon again.

My second time here. It was a date night but they put us on a table that literally backed onto the woman’s toilets. Not that romantic or nice having a swigging door every 5 mins. Some times less is more….that one table doesn’t need to be sold. You ruined our night and I wouldn’t come back or recommend this restaurant now. Pity…
