About Pérola do Mar
Despite being a small family restaurant, Pérola do Mar is the #1 rated Leigh restaurant on TripAdvisor. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed with an authentic Portuguese menu and delightful hosts. We love the Flame Grilled Chorizo, served flaming, you decide when it's cooked and extinguish the flames. Booking in advance is advised.

This was my first visit to this wonderful little restaurant and could not fault it in the slightest. The food was absolutely outstanding and with so much selection! Such a quaint little place with no more than 8 tables which made for a lovely and relaxing atmosphere. The staff are friendly and the owner is so attentive and personable, even making wine recommendations which were spot on. Definitely will be back to this rare gem in leigh.

1 month agoGreat little place to eat, three course meal, jug of sangria and a coke each came to £40 per person which is very reasonable considering how delicious the meal was. Highly recommend the king prawns they are fresh and the sauce is beautiful. We have been here previously and the cocktails are also very good. The service is very good both waiters are attentive and friendly without being intrusive. I would recommend a visit.

3 months agoLiving in a town, where the big retailers are moving to bigger premises in out of town retail Parks, local business closing down due to higher rates, higher overheads, less people around etc etc, it gives us hope that the few local business left can thrive and actually offer something that makes you think OMG how do people not know about this one particular place. PEROLA DO MAR is one such place, this family own Portuguese restaurant is in Leigh Wigan, and to be honest I only found this place by searching for restaurant’s slightly out of the area I lived, and all that I can say is WOW. Perola Do Mar is a gem and without a doubt is one of best places my wife & I have been to in well over of year, even outshining all those fancy places that have all showbiz glamour and décor and charge you an absolute fortune for a ok meal. On entering Perola Do Mar, we were greeted with a warm, smiling friendly owner and for me that speaks volumes and straight away you get that feeling that this is a really good place. There aren’t many tables and so glad we booked in advance as a family of 4 who came in without booking where turned away. The décor is very simple but perfect. When we arrived, we were the 1st there as they had just opened for their dinner service. The owner was very attentive and checked if you had been before as they advised us how the menu works. The owner even put the music on, nice and low, enough to talk to my wife, without anyone else hearing, the owner even lowered the lighting to make the mood more romantic, very nice touch….just adding to the whole class of the place and the owners who run it. Of course, the main thing is the meal itself, well its all cooked from scratch and is simple heavenly exquisite, cooked to complete perfection and although it may not seem much the portions make you completely full. One of owners the chef, even on occasions kept coming out of the kitchen to check on different tables everyone was happy, that in my eyes is brilliant attention to detail and completely believes in the meal he cooked for diners. The menu has so many options you will have trouble choosing, and there’s no pressure whatsoever in choosing, but my advice, don’t look at the menu in advance as you will defiantly change your mind again ha ha Perola Do Mar is a place for romantic couples or a family, it has something from babies to the fussy of eaters. The meal was pure melt in the mouth food, delicious, the main course, the vegetables it was all 100% al Dente. The owners kept checking everything was fine and even offered suggestions on different things. Without a shadow of a doubt this will be a regular restaurant to visit, from entrance to leaving the while experience was nothing less than perfect. This is completely a restaurant worth travelling to, as some other fellow diners came from St Helens, and for that speaks volumes on just how amazing this restaurant is, a pure delight
