Pearl Café - Missoula

One of the best meals I've ever had in my life, and I don't say that lightly, because I love good food. My husband and I went here last week as an anniversary celebration, and everything from start to finish was incredible. Quiet, pleasant, dimly-lit, romantic ambiance. Excellent service. Beautiful plating. Exquisite bread, wine, appetizer, entree, dessert. It probably doesn't need to be said that it's pricy, but so worth it for a special occasion. Side note: I didn't realize steak could taste this amazing. Photos shown below: Escargot with sizzling garlic butter and sourdough croutons; Lamb with mint and fava bean couscous, grilled zucchini; Filet mignon with green peppercorn sauce, green beans, and yukon mash; Almond torte with raspberry; Lemon cheesecake with huckleberry sauce and candied lemon peel.

Oysters and mussels were tasty and a great value. Salad was also fine. Just ok were the two desserts (creme brulee and chocolate mousse). For the non dessert items, I'd give this place 5 stars.

I'm speechless, and I'm meeting because I'm here for so long. they make one fall and come there. the German chocolate cake was the best dessert I ever had.

This is one of the best restaurants in town. With a penchant for French cuisine and some classic American dishes. Add to it a very accessible wine list and you are sure to have a good evening. I recommend the entrecote, so tender that you can cut it with a butter knife!

We each had the escargot (delicious! . .Rich had the lamb chops (cooked perfectly and so flavorful! , I had the seafood ....seafood grilled to perfection, polenta creamy and squash was delicious! Phoenix showed the right amount of attentiveness. Thouroughly enjoyed every aspect of our meal!
