Perle d'Orient - Réserver une table

As it is a ritual for me to look up on the TripAdvisor list for places to go and on this day turned out to be Perle d'Orient for the lunch. Had it not be for some of the raving reviews probably I would have never bothered by looking at the establishment from outside! But despite of having a mix feeling overall glad that I did and can judge if for for myself.The decor as well as being typical of most little Chinese resaurants we more or less encounter globally is very tired so much so that in my opinion the hygiene levels were not satisfactory . The toilet room of any restaurant is representative of the cleanliness of the place and on this alone didn't impress. More over once washed my hands with the only cold water supply couldn't bring myself to touch the towels that did not appear to be fresh ! The set up of the only toilet in the place is not child or disabled friendly on all accounts too. The shelves at the bottom end of the room in the little booth like are old and there are considered not to be hygienic, not to mention the poor method of cramping stuff everywhere at the end .Service was go and fetch kind of affair and the food was tasty and though wasn't cheap wasn't expensive either depending one point of view but certainly wasn't as thrilling as some fellow readers commented ! Finally it was good enough for all its worth and yes I might go back if Chinese was what I fancied on the day .

Myself and my partner enjoyed dinner in this restaurant on Friday night. We opted for the set meal at €15 which gives three courses. My starter was an Assiette Gourmande which comprised prawn tails, crab, nems, and samosas, served a with two dips - one slightly salty and one spicy. My partner had fried beef on noodles. Both were delicious and very substantial. For mains I had a Marmite Vietnamienne and my partner had Sizzling Beef Satay served with plain rice. I indulged in a lovely cantonnais rice which cost an extra €2.00 and well worth it. My Marmite contained chicken, prawns and seiche cooked in a savoury sauce. The dishes were well presented and very tasty. Dessert choices were ice cream, chinese nougat, lychees and another which neither of us can remember. Despite having had plenty to eat already, I had some cassis and lemon ice-cream which slighly less flavoursome than I like, but quite acceptable, nonetheless. The half litre of Rose - served nicely chilled - cost all of €6.00! I don't think anyone could complain about this meal. The menu is quite comprehensive and has a couple of set meal choices as well as plenty of a la carte options. The only word of warning is that, like many French restaurants in this area, vegetarians are not very well catered for.

This small restaurant was only a short walk from our hotel and influenced by Trip Advisor reviews we opted for the 21 euro menu. We were greeted by friendly staff and made to feel very welcome. This menu has a house cocktail included and pleasant it was too, a lychee concoction. The first course of the mixed Assiette Gourmande was very generous and equally enjoyable. This was followed by dim sum and then the main course, again generous but very tasty. Any sweet off the menu is included and I enjoyed a creamy Café Liegeois whilst my wife just managed a coffee. The house wine was extremely palatable and good value at 10 euros a litre.Next time - and there will be - we will try the 15.50 euro menu as I bet it will be worth it. The staff were equally friendly on departure, possibly a whole family affair? During our visit, there was also a steady trade in take-away customers. We are looking forward to our next visit.

We attended the annual Toques et Clochers and found this oasis of quiet. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the food was tasty and served with care. We would go again.
