Perla's Seafood and Oyster Bar has been a South Congress Avenue staple since its founding in 2009 by chefs Larry McGuire and Tom Moorman. The restaurant brings in fresh fish and oysters daily from both coasts, with a strong focus on Gulf of Mexico sourcing and clean, unfussy preparations. Reviewers rave about standout dishes like the lobster bucatini, mezcal oyster shooters, and scallop curry. The large patio along bustling South Congress is a favorite for people-watching and outdoor dining. The space suits everything from relaxed date nights to group celebrations, and full restaurant buyouts are available for private events.
Perla's is located at 1400 S. Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78704, right along the heart of the iconic South Congress strip.
