Pearly’s Restaurant
Rated 4.4 in 3816 Reviews
Established in 1993, Pearly's Restaurant has become a true Langebaan institution – a must-visit spot for locals and visitors alike. Situated directly on the main beach with panoramic views of the turquoise lagoon, it offers the quintessential West Coast dining experience.
Ambiance & Setting
The restaurant's prime beachfront location makes it an ideal spot to watch kitesurfers carving across the lagoon's famous blue waters. Langebaan is world-renowned as a kitesurfing and windsurfing mecca, and Pearly's provides front-row seats to all the action. For spectacular views, aim to arrive before sunset – the golden hour transforms the lagoon into a postcard-perfect scene.
Menu Highlights
While Pearly's specializes in seafood, their extensive menu caters to all tastes:
- Seafood: The seafood platters are legendary, featuring fresh line fish, calamari, mussels and prawns. Try the Pearly's Hake – served on a bed of mash with curried seafood sauce.
- Local Specialties: Don't miss the smoked snoek samoosas with spicy relish and apricot jam – a distinctly South African fusion starter.
- Signature Dishes: The prawn paella and seafood pasta (with prawn meat, mussels and calamari) are crowd favorites.
- Meat & Grill: Their steaks are expertly prepared, particularly the biltong steak with mushroom sauce.
Local Tips
Unlike many Langebaan eateries, Pearly's typically doesn't require bookings, but be prepared for a short wait during peak season. The restaurant has gradually modernized over the years while maintaining its West Coast charm. There's a separate bar area with sports viewing facilities – perfect for catching the game with an ice-cold local craft beer.
Early mornings are ideal for a post-parkrun breakfast on weekends. For those spending the day at the beach, Pearly's bathrooms offer a convenient spot to change after a swim.
Practical Information
Pearly's opens from morning till evening (8:30am-10pm, slightly later on weekends), serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The outdoor deck is perfect in summer, while in winter, the indoor fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere.
Parking can be challenging during peak periods – arriving early or parking further along Beach Road and walking is sometimes easier. The sandy approach makes wheelchair access difficult.
For West Coast explorers, Pearly's makes an excellent stop after visiting nearby attractions like the West Coast National Park.
