Pearly Cow

Margate

Welcome to Pearly Cow Margate, the hottest destination on the Margate restaurants scene.

Pearly Cow is an independent collection of grill restaurants in York, Margate and Brighton. They serve up the most indulgent cuts of meat and the freshest fish in gorgeous settings, where you’ll feel right at home. We source the best-of-the-best from nearby each; Yorkshire beef and Whitstable oysters for example.

We let the ingredients do the talking, cooking simply over open-flame, or serving raw on ice. It’s elementary really.

Pearly Cow is about treating yourself. It's a break from the everyday. It’s the feeling of finding a pearl in an oyster shell. It’s a bit of magic.

Oh, and our chips will change your life, and our soufflés are just something else too.

Of all of the restaurants in Margate, we're one of the few sea view restaurants too - magical at any time of the year.
