A new and daring venue arrives in the capital
November 2023, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – Perlage, the Tashas Group’s newest jewel, is poised to captivate Abu Dhabi with its chic and edgy urban allure. Situated in the heart of The Galleria on Al Maryah Island, Perlage invites guests into an intimate space with extraordinary art and an exceptional array of champagne-based concoctions. In partnership with the prestigious Maison Perrier-Jouët, Perlage stands ready to revolutionise the beverage landscape in the capital.
The name “Perlage” derives from the French term that captures the effervescent bubbles rising to the surface in a champagne glass. Founder Natasha Sideris elaborates, “We are thrilled to be opening Perlage in Abu Dhabi. We set out to create a unique experience that is both elegant and edgy. The space is the most beautiful colour of red and everything within it has been thoughtfully considered – the cocktails, the menus, the uniforms, the lighting and the music. The bespoke art that we had made takes it to another level. It reminds me of the kind of place that would have been perfect for a Rolling Stones after-party. Perlage is such an exciting addition to our bar portfolio and we can’t wait to welcome our guests.”
Perlage’s creative menu exudes a bold and whimsical character. It proudly showcases an assortment of champagne-based cocktails that span the spectrum from exotic and enigmatic to unexpected and invigorating, to name just a few sensations. Among these captivating concoctions is the Bubble of Joy, a fragrant, airy, and sophisticated blend of Perrier-Jouët Blason Rosé, Sloe Gin, Crème de Cassis, Tonka Bean, and Vetiver. For a vibrant and surprising experience, Cool Bananas combines Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut, Matusalem Insólito, verjuice, and clarified banana. Meanwhile, Born To Be Wild delivers a fluffy, fruity, and flavoursome fusion of Perrier-Jouët Blason Rosé, fresh strawberries, Crème de Cacao, and cedar wood.
Yet, Perlage’s artistry extends beyond champagne-based drinks. The menu features avant-garde and innovative options carbonated with various beverages. How ’bout Them Apples is a refreshing and breezy choice, blending Bison Grass Vodka, black cardamom, and pomme soda. Hugs & Kisses takes an enigmatic and mysterious turn with Beefeater Gin, ginger, bergamot, shiso leaf, fresh strawberries, and whey. Finally, Big in Japan offers a sleek, oriental, and invigoratingjourney with Ki No Bi, shincha, gyokuro tea cordial, and passion fruit pearls. At Perlage, the diverse cocktail offerings promise to enchant every palate and ensure an unforgettable experience.
