Pearl’s is a highly reliable and affordable choice that will most certainly delight your taste buds. The old boomboxes on the lightly colored walls covered with beautiful murals, the reggae stars and vinyl of soca in the bathroom, and the bright neon signs–everything at this Williamsburg restaurant is a potent treatment against the seasonal affective disease. But above all else, the food. Of all Caribbean-style cuisines that get extensive coverage, Trinbagonian dishes are perhaps the most diverse, as they exquisitely blend East and South Asian traditions, African, and Amerindian traditions. This creates delightful juxtapositions: rum and butter garlic alternately drench dishes, powder curries awake to the juicy tropical fruit, and mellow coconut creates tangy tamarind. The fearless Fallon Seymor, together with the rest of Pearl’s team defies normal conventions at every turn, and create meals that make you fall in love with every bite. Pearl’s celebrates the distinctions and complexities of Trini cuisine while always being attentive about how to improve them. To cherish and to evolve, is what makes this delightful restaurant wholesome.…

Pearl’s Mouthwatering Main Menu

Authenticity is very essential, especially as it relates to the representation of cuisines and restaurants. When talking about ethnic dishes, particularly if they are of nations that aren’t members of NATO, food enthusiasts tend to accentuate the grittiness of their experience. Great dishes aren’t always accompanied by beautiful decor, clean bathrooms, and a contemporary approach to dishes, but that does not mean that it cannot derive any benefits from them. And although traditional hole-in-the-wall joints serving meals as grandma made it are sweet and delightful, sticking to tradition can sometimes be a hindrance to progress. For instance, your grandmother might have made the world’s best potato patties, but if you do not try to mix things up and broaden your perspective, you might never realize how significantly more delightful they taste with a touch of mango pickle. Fallon Seymour pays great attention to the traditions that her grandmother Pearl taught her. However, Fallon also leads Pearl’s on the path where Caribbean traditions mingle with Trinbagonian and other cuisines. She does not get shy of its romance with India, and things are appealing, beautiful, and cheerful. And besides, no grandma ever encouraged her grandchildren to eat in a room that isn’t attractive or have an unclean bathroom. Having your dining area clean and a bit put together adds to your dining experience and makes it all the more delightful.

While Fallon Seymour concentrated on raising the kids, John Seymour launched Sweet Chick, a comfort food chain in London and Manhattan specializing in waffles and chicken. As the children grew older, it was natural for Fallon Seymour to launch her own restaurant chain. She launched Pearl’s, which was named after her grandmother, who used to be a bake maestro. She later embarked on a joint venture with Major Lazer’s DJ Jillionaire to launch Clyde’s, the first Trini bar in New York. Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, away from the hustle and bustle of Bed-Stuy’s, Crown Heights’ and other Trinbagonian communities, Pearls offers a more modern taste of traditional staples of Caribbean cuisine without any compromise on authenticity.…
