Incredible food and great service…can’t believe I hadn’t heard about this restaurant before (was recommended by a friend) and not sure why there are empty tables on a Friday night. Everything tasted amazing and we had several dishes including the array of oysters available.

This was the second time we visited Pearly Queen and the second time we were blown away by the flavours of each dish and the reasonableness of the bill. It is high end dinning at affordable prices.

Highly recommend the Trout Tartare, the mussel pate and the Hake Kyiv! Incredible lunch deal with 4 courses for around £30.

We visited last night after receiving a very generous voucher for my birthday for a family member. The food is salty, over priced and the portions are painfully small. We had the same experience others have had with being sat at the bar despite the restaurant being nearly empty and us having a reservation. We were given the choice of either this or a ‘counter bar seat’ which was a counter overlooking the stairs to the toilet. We were rushed through the set menu, the wait staff would usually be hanging around us to change our cutlery whilst we were still eating. An awkward experience all round. A Gilda comprising of an olive and an anchovy on a cocktail stick set you back £5.50 each. And I’m still not sure how that and a slice of focaccia are deemed a ‘chefs selection’. Despite ordering extra dishes outside of the set menu we left incredibly hungry. The deserts main flavour was burnt, and you get one portion. The wait staff knew nothing about the me u or dishes and they were not explained at all. Not what I expected for a nearly £200 bill. I would not return and I’d urge you to save your money or spend it somewhere else. No wonder the other restaurant did not last.

One of the best value lunches in town. Four sensational dishes for £30. All the food is incredible and very creative. Great service from a fantastic team. Highly recommended

We went to pearly queen for a summer's day lunch, it was perfect. The oysters were fresh and delicious. I had the Cuttlefish & wild mushroom lasagna, it was delicious. Service was lovely. Lovely atmosphere
