The Pearl Room in BGC: Where the Sea Meets Asian Elegance
Some restaurants simply serve food, but others create the kind of evenings people talk about long after the night ends. That is exactly the atmosphere guests can expect at The Pearl Room, a seafood-focused dining destination where oysters, cocktails, and lively conversations come together naturally.

At the heart of the concept are the restaurant’s oysters, which have quickly become a favorite among seafood lovers. Guests can enjoy them in several preparations—served live and fresh (Php 55 each) with sliced calamansi, allowing their clean, briny flavor to shine, or baked (Php 65 each) and grilled (Php 60 each), which bring out a deeper, more savory richness.

Often paired with cocktails, beer, or wine, the oysters make the perfect centerpiece for a table, whether for dates, gatherings with friends, or spontaneous nights out.
From their Fresh at the Pearl menu comes one of their newer creations: the Aonori Shrimp Tempura (Php 480), featuring crispy shrimp tempura infused with the umami-rich aroma of aonori, a fragrant Japanese green seaweed. Light and crunchy on the outside while tender on the inside, the dish delivers a savory depth that makes it an irresistible starter to share.

Infused with bold spices and a gentle heat, the dish delivers layers of flavor that balance creaminess, spice, and savory depth, making it a satisfying option for those craving something hearty and full of character.
