A NEW restaurant with a fiery theme is set to open in York - and is promising a range of high quality meat, vegetable and seafood dishes.

At the end of March, Pearly Cow, a new group of restaurants with
‘freshness and quality’ at its heart, will launch at the No.1 by GuestHouse in York.

Brothers Tristan, James, and Tom Guest have turned their attention to restaurants following the launch of their boutique hotel group, GuestHouse, in 2021.

James said: We’re delighted that York will be our very first Pearly Cow. York has an exciting foodie scene, and we feel what we bring will compliment that.

"We’re looking forward to opening the doors and welcoming everyone this March."

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the restaurant said that within the design, each Pearly Cow restaurant will aim to feel connected to their local area through the choice of fabrics, wall coverings and tiling, as well as being individually styled with local art and accessories.

They added: "At Pearly Cow in York, the team of coveted in-house designers fell in love with the contrasting lighter feminine elegance of its Georgian building and the darker masculine craftmanship of the medieval architecture found throughout the city, which is replicated in the design throughout."

The menu features meats and selected fish, seafood and vegetables cooked over a wood and charcoal Mibrasa Grill. Dishes include an array of steaks from sirloin to cote de boeuf served with beef fat chips, bone marrow and creamed spinach alongside half grilled Whitby lobster, charred lemon, and aioli and a charcoal roasted aubergine, sweet and sour peppers, kale pesto and rose harissa.

An dish of 45-day aged Hereford beef tartare and oyster cream with salted cucumber and Exmoor caviar sets the scene, whilst a selection of crustaceans on ice include fresh oysters served traditionally and potted Whitby crab reflect the taste of the wild.

Wonder-filled sweet treats include a blackberry and lemon baked Alaska for two, pistachio soufflé and white chocolate ‘pearl’ and provides the theatrical touches.

A handpicked wine list will feature classics, new world adventures and celebrate English sparkling whilst a curated cocktail collection will take inspiration from York's surroundings.

The York restaurant is located next to No.1 Clifton, formerly The Grange Hotel. The Grade-II listed Regency town house in Clifton dates back to around 1840, when it was known as Bootham Grange. The site has 39 bedrooms as well as two luxury suites, a snug, bar, private dining room and spa treatments available in the cellar.

Pearly Cow in York will be open from Monday to Sunday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Two further openings are confirmed in Margate in May 2023 and Brighton in early 2024.
