Located in the vaults of a historic building in the city of Bath, La Perla was established in 2011. We envisioned a place where our guests could make a visit to Spain without leaving Bath, bringing back memories as well as creating new ones, through a journey where the flavours hold the key.

  • Dry Aged Steak Paella

    £41.50 per person

    Multiple dates available
    Experience the authentic flavours of Spain at La Perla with our renowned Rib Eye Steak Paella Rubia Gallega is a breed of cattle indigenous to Galicia. This beef is produced exclusively from this breed. The beef graze on the meadows of Galicia for up to 8-12 years where they grow big and fat and put on layers of marbled fat. This gives the beef an extraordinary flavour, an intense beefy-ness and succulence brought about by the high marbling of the meat. The consensus used to be that old means tough, but this beef is dry aged which not only further intensifies the flavour but also tenderises the meat.

    La Perla is not just a food adventure but an experience. The staff are very accomodating and attentive. They guided us to our table and answered all of our questions. Suggesting which Paella is best. The Sangria is perfect pair. It is smooth and fruity. The star however is the Paella. Chef Momo went out of his way to bring us to a Paella journey. He explained how each component contributes to the whole gastronomic adventure. The ambiance is suitable may it be if you are out on a date or dinner with family. Overall its an awesome dinner night out and we will definitely comeback.

    Superb food; fleshly cooked to order; beautifully presented; can't be beaten for the best tapas in Bath! One of our favourite restaurants and with the new ownership earlier this year, the quality has not faltered. Gets busy at weekends (and quite noisy in the first vaulted section of the restaurant, so we always try and request the adjoining section away from the bar). But this time we visited mid-week and it was lovely and relaxed, quiet and service impeccable. Highly recommended. Lovely range of dishes; plenty of fish and veggie options; and great to mix and match. Wine by the glass also good value too.

    Had the best date night here! The waiters were exceptional, energetic and had perfect attention to detail. Food was delicious and the Chef even checked in on us, too. 100% will be back for the Paella! Thank you!

    I have to admit when I arrived and saw the plastic menus and slightly dated interior I was not hopeful but I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was all beautifully hand made and very much exceeded expectations and the serving staff were all very friendly and helpful

    The food and service was good. The noise level was excessive spoiling the evening. It was like eating your food in a night club.

    A wonderful location with a relaxing, chilled vibe. Staff were friendly and welcoming. We went for our anniversary and unfortunately booked late so could only go at an odd time, after a busy lunch and before a busy dinner. We opted for the paella, the chef was up for a competition and was currently doing rather well so we thought that was a good option. My parents used to live in Spain so I’ve had a lot of seafood paellas and sadly this wasn’t up with them. The dish arrived quickly, which is unusual for a paella and the seafood sat on the top of the rice. My first prawn was half raw and then we realised the entire dish was all cold. I did complain and the food was put back into the dish to be reheated. We were given complimentary wine as a sorry and once we got the hot food it was very tasty- excellent rice. It was a pity, I will return but only during peak times.
