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.

We are from The US and we were visiting Dublin for Judy‘s birthday. The entire dining experience was extraordinary. From the moment we stepped through the door the service was impeccable. Food was absolutely mind blowing wonderful and the ambience was great. Can’t wait to come back here.

We were booked in for 6.15 and had to be finished at our table by 8.15. It's too rushed when trying to enjoy such lovely food and wine. I'll never book for that time again, as our bill was just shy of €300 (for 2 adults and a 13 yr old) you definitely don't want to feel like you're being pushed out the door after spending that money. The staff were lovely and the food was gorgeous. We were seated in the little bunker just inside the door and it was very cold with people coming in and out. We didn't experience any atmosphere at that table and we literally could have been in any restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic staff….we probably encountered 5 different staff, all lovely. Fair play to them…..the place was full of business looking clientele many of whom lacked basic manners but staff were friendly regardless. Food delicious as was the wine and cocktails. Lovely setting. Would employ each staff I met tonight in my own business if I could!

Lovely atmosphere and ambience, staff a little over attentive but overall extremely helpful and engaging. Food was above expectations and the seating alcove was very private. Would highly recommend, the menu was excellent and catered for lots of different tastes.

A dinner in Pearl Brasserie is always an enjoyable event. Descend the entrance steps and then be minded for the next few hours by friendly professional staff- menu continues to give such variety, food beautifully presented and great selection of wines ( although we always choose same wine) . Sabina keeps a watchful eye on everything and makes you very welcome ( great memory to pick up and continue conversations from a previous visit a number of months past) . Great value for money and when ascending the steps to leave you know you will be back.

My family and I ordered three "six course tasting surprise" meals with Euro 99 for each course . Unfortunately there is very few amount for every plate. It's really unhappy for my family because we didn't be full after the dinner. It's really "SURPRISE ". We had great experience 5 years ago so we came back. But this time we are very disappointed.
