I was fortunate enough to be invited to @pearlycowbrighton , Brighton’s newest premium restaurant, located right in the heart of the city with breathtaking views of the iconic West Pier
For those familiar with the building, it was in dire need of attention—and Pearly Cow has delivered. Every aspect has been lovingly transformed, creating an environment that exudes sophistication & charm. From the luxurious seating to the beautiful bar, Pearly Cow has immediately cemented itself amongst some of Brighton’s most stunning dining destinations
The menu is equally impressive, created by Head Chef @mackenzie_andrew3 , offering a carefully curated selection of dishes that focus on seafood, high-end tacos, and premium steaks. I had the privilege of sampling a variety of their offerings, and they did not disappoint. Standout starters included the 45-day aged fillet of beef tartare, the pig cheeks with carrots and five spice, and the seabass tartare with lime crème fraîche and caviar—each beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. The star of the evening, however, was the 36oz salt-aged Côte de Boeuf. Visually stunning and meltingly tender, it was a true celebration of quality ingredients and expert preparation. Other highlights included the rolled porchetta with roast apples, fennel, and cider sauce and the indulgent beef fat chips with Dijonnaise and chives—perfect accompaniments to the meal
We ended the afternoon with a selection of desserts, and the raspberry trifle with pistachio and white chocolate was the undisputed highlight. Though not something I typically gravitate towards, its balance of flavours—especially the velvety white chocolate—was unforgettable. A vast range of cocktails and wines were not to miss either with local suppliers seen throughout their food and drink menu
Pearly Cow has created something truly special and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. It opens to the public on November 22, with bookings available now
I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
