P earl Beach Cafe and General Store was acquired by Coast Realty - the boutique independent real estate agency in February this year. Since then, the team have been working hard to transform this once struggling cafe, into something rather special. The venue has undergone somewhat of a transformation over the last few months. With many subtle improvements to their layout, operations and offerings. The venue will now be known as Pearly’s, a nod to their spectacular location in Pearl Beach, and paying homage to what many Coasties’s already refer to the affluent tourism hotspot as. The team appointed renowned Chef and food guru - Pauly Mac to oversee their menu revamp. Pauly Mac has been working tirelessly with the keen young team which includes Head Chef Cam Wargent, designing spectacularly unique dishes such as Tokyo milk toast served with miso, caramel ice cream & furikake, cauliflower schnitzel and the free-range bacon & egg spring roll which will be served alongside classics such as the Angus beef burger and locally sourced fish & chips. If house made dumplings with candied jalapeno & black vinegar are your thing at 7am in the morning for breakfast, well you guessed it, you can enjoy them as part of the venues exciting and diverse new menu. Pauly Mac explains how this venue has quickly become one of his most cherished projects to date. “ Sometimes, when I enter a venue to commence working with an existing kitchen team, I receive mixed reactions. However, Chef Cam and his team have absolutely welcomed me with open arms,” Pauly explains. “They are a bunch of super talented and keen to learn individuals and I am so proud of everything we have achieved together. The result is a truly impressive new menu that the team can execute every day to an exceptionally high standard.” “Mark my words, this venue, with this team, are on the brink of achieving big things this year.” Pauly concludes.
