La Maison de Perle sur Saint-Denis

I often eat here with colleagues, I highly recommend it! Try, among other things, the chicken korma with basmati rice, bell peppers, red onions, and cilantro. Update 10/4/2026: Feel free to come as a group for lunch. The welcome and service are very professional. Thank you to the entire team at Maison de Perle!

I'm giving it four stars because it's a good restaurant, but the manager isn't very friendly. You go in for a coffee, and the guy doesn't even crack a smile. I came with someone who wasn't feeling well, and I can understand the manager, but what happened wasn't my fault or my friend's. The guy just wanted to act all high and mighty, but he ran away from us, so that's no excuse for avoiding my gaze.

This is my second time at this restaurant-brasserie. Several colleagues are regulars. On October 24, 2025, I went there with two colleagues for lunch. I opted for the lunch special for €21.90. I chose the dish of the day, which was beef ribs, and for dessert, I chose a chocolate fondant. The meat was tender and melt-in-your-mouth with a very good flavor. I suppose the meat was slow-cooked and then seared to give it a sweet taste. I wasn't a fan of the dessert. I was supposed to have a dark chocolate fondant with a white chocolate molten center and a scoop of ice cream. It was more of a dark chocolate sponge cake with a red fruit coulis. The ice cream was a bit hard, but it was still edible. The service was quick and efficient. The waitress was pleasant. The price-quality ratio was okay. I didn't notice any particular atmosphere. I recommend this establishment.
