Pearl Café in Florissant, Missouri, Announces Temporary Closure for Vacation – Reopens July 10
FLORISSANT, MO (StLouisRestaurantReview) — Pearl Café, one of the most celebrated Thai restaurants in the St. Louis metro area, has announced a temporary closure for summer vacation. The family-owned and operated restaurant, located in Florissant, Missouri, will be closed from Wednesday, July 3, 2025, through Tuesday, July 9, 2025. Regular business operations will resume on Wednesday, July 10, 2025.
For loyal customers, this short break means a brief pause in enjoying some of the most authentic Thai cuisine available in the region. However, the owners and staff of Pearl Café express gratitude for the understanding and continued support of their loyal patrons.
A Thai Culinary Gem in Florissant
Pearl Café has become a beloved fixture in Florissant and across the greater St. Louis region since opening in 2009. Situated at 8416 N. Lindbergh Blvd, the restaurant is known for serving flavorful, handcrafted Thai dishes that blend tradition, creativity, and bold spices. The restaurant is known for its passion for cooking and authentic Thai flavors, which has earned it an enviable reputation across Missouri and beyond.
Their menu features a wide variety of classic Thai dishes, including Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup, Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles), Thai Curries, Spring Rolls, and various fried rice options—all made fresh with high-quality ingredients. Pearl Café offers an authentic experience that makes customers feel like they’re dining in Thailand without ever leaving Florissant.
Beyond its food, Pearl Café offers a unique feature unmatched by other Thai restaurants in the region—the Spice Wall, a curated collection of over 100 types of Thai chili sauces, peppers, and spices. This feature has become a talking point and challenge for many spice lovers who attempt to conquer the menu’s infamous heat levels, which can range from mild to extreme “Thai hot.”
Temporary Closure for Summer Vacation
According to an official statement shared by management, the temporary closure is simply a much-needed break for the hardworking staff who continuously deliver top-quality service and meals day after day.
“We thank our customers for their continued support and understanding. Pearl Café will be closed from July 3 to July 9 to allow our team to rest and recharge. We will resume normal business hours on Wednesday, July 10 and look forward to seeing everyone again soon.”
Restaurant closures for short vacations are common in the industry, particularly for family-owned establishments like Pearl Café, which takes pride in providing a personal and high-quality dining experience. This break ensures that the team returns reenergized and ready to continue delivering excellent food and service.
Customers are encouraged to plan ahead and enjoy their favorite Thai dishes either before the break or when the restaurant reopens.
