Visiting Bali at least once a year, and with many years experience, I now return to only a few special places. I can think of no better start than three (or more) days at Pearl Hotel. Pearl is an idyllic boutique hotel in a beautiful...garden setting.
But the other motivation to stay at the hotel is the opportunity to indulge my love of French food prepared with passion and expertise. I have been a regular visitor for close to a decade. The restaurant is a lesson in what a top class restaurant looks like. Add to that, staff that are both friendly and highly professional in making your meal a memorable occasion.
This visit, my wife and I dined at Pearl for the three evenings of our stay at Pearl Hotel. The main courses were as always interesting in terms of ingredients, but each was an example of sheer perfection. My three mains were a Beef fillet mignonette, Duck confit and the coq au vin. My favourite was a dead heat as no dish could be faulted in even a minor way. Dinner at Pearl always has several extras included such as an eggplant cone, cold pumpkin concoction and Jeremy's exquisite sourdough bread rolls.
Pearl Restaurant offers the most luscious desserts and they are too tempting not to indulge your creative ‘sweet tooth’. My favourite is the “tasting plate” which offers four of Chef Jeremy's dessert delights. So tempting I ordered it on two occasions.
When one considers that Pearl is one of the best dining establishments in Bali, it is too outstanding not to pay a visit. You will not regret it.More
