Glamorous Pearl is something of a hidden treasure, tucked away a few minutes from the Strand in High Holborn. Set in the former banking halls of the Pearl assurance company, this stunning restaurant is littered with its precious namesake, from hand-strung decorative chains to the pearl chandeliers swaying over the polished walnut interior. The sensual opulence is complemented by chef Jun Tanaka's assured seasonal menu of modern French cuisine and an award-winning list of over 200 wines.
