Miss Pearl Bar + Dining

Delicious, fresh food. Great vegetarian + gluten free options. Super friendly staff. The crispy eggplant was unique and unlike anything i've had before - the top layer is like pork crackle and the middle soft and juicy, as well as being sweet and savoury. The miso cauliflower was the star dish for us though. 'The pearl' cocktail was absolutely delicious, sweet lychee like taste and super fresh! Sad that they no longer do the mushroom dumplings as we had read good reviews about it.

Ate here twice this week after coming in by accident in search of real food. Superb food - and incidentally very gluten free knowledgeable even for a coeliac- and beautiful refined but unusual cocktails. Great for a pre show dinner at MTC / arts district, but frankly I would come here just for the food alone next time I am in Melbourne.
