Perle Wine Bar

We had dinner before Berkeley Rep & plan to put this little jewel in our regular rotation. Our waiter, Brian, was a total delight. Everything we ate had that little extra ingredient, or textural note, to push it over the top to something special. From the smoked salmon toasts & pear & endive salad, to the bavette steak & linguini alle vongole, all the way to the hot chocolate pot de creme which was, as Brian promised, "to die for." Along w/very good cocktails and an excellent wine list, we already look forward to our return.

Beautiful little Sunday brunch here at this French bistro. It's tucked away in the Montclair neighborhood with a great local vibe. The unique starter of deviled eggs topped with a fresh fried oyster and a little bit of roe was amazing. The chicken and waffle was a distinctly French take with a small, plump sweet waffle and two tender pieces of bird. Frittatas and salad were amazing. So was the bread, as it should be at any bistro. I hear dinner is even better. Would love to try it.

This place is incredible!!! The Chef brought his talents to Oakland from SF and made this Resturant a hidden gem!!! A+ food if you want to eat and have your taste buds satisfied as well as your belly. We plan on being regulars here for a LONG TIME!!!

Nice neighborhood spot in Montclair. The starters, wine and cocktails are quite good. The mains are a bit overthought and pricey with the exception of the burger which is excellent and a good deal. I’d recommend coming here to eat starters or a burger at the bar. The atmosphere is quaint but a little cold and could be significantly better if they made the entrance a little more attractive and added some acoustic treatments to handle noise.

Love having this place in the neighborhood. Marcus does a great job of always making you feel recognized and welcome. Wine bar yes but no problem stopping in for a cocktail instead.
