About Perle

Watch on TikTok

On Union St. in Old Town Pasadena, Perle brings classic French bistro cooking with a Michelin recognition that belies its understated setting. The menu reads like a love letter to Paris — steak frites, escargot, roasted bone marrow, perfect duck confit — executed with technical precision in a candlelit dining room that feels genuinely transported. One of the few places in the San Gabriel Valley where a serious French meal doesn't require a drive to the Westside.
