                                                  Excellent food and all round experience. We had walked past often when staying next door at the Merrion and had never tried it - we glad we did ! Definitely one of the best restaurants we have been to in Dublin - fine dining food delivered from an interesting menu (classic french with asian influences) and faultless service at a reasonable price for this quality. We liked the option of premium wines being available by the glass. Service was friendly and informal but with all the details right. We will be back.

                                                  We haven’t been to Pearl in many years, and were so pleasantly surprised at how good it still is. Definitely worth a visit.
