Pernoi Opens in Downtown Birmingham
P

ernoi, a contemporary
restaurant owned by
chefs Luciano DelSignore
and Takashi Yagihashi, opened
last month at 310 E. Maple
Road in Birmingham.
The 2,700-square-foot
restaurant, designed by Kyle
Evans Design, offers seating for
65 guests within three unique
dining experiences. Those
include the Maple Room, a
formal, jacket-required dining
room with a la carte and prix
fixe menu options; and the

Port Room, a more casual bar
and lounge adjacent to the
Terrace, a 35-seat outdoor
courtyard. Both offer a la carte
menus, which include saffron
capellini tossed in fish fumet
and mascarpone, and sashimi
tuna in onion vinaigrette and
seaweed.
“We wanted to provide three
unique dining experiences to
meet varying occasions and
preferences,” said DelSignore,
chef and co-owner of Pernoi.
“The Maple Room offers

a formal, jacket-required
atmosphere while the Port
Room and Terrace will serve
more casual, yet upscale
crowds seeking high-end
cuisine.”
With the space designed to
look and feel as if one is on
a luxury yacht, DelSignore
and Yagihashi commissioned
original art by acclaimed
painter and Metro Detroit
resident, Dominic Pangborn,
which is displayed throughout
the restaurant.
