Perilla

Spectacular! 3 of us for a birthday lunch on Saturday and I’m still thinking about the food. Shout out to Juste for the service, wine rec’ was perfect. The food was astonishing.. Genuinely seasonal, beautifully plated and incredibly balanced. Their Panisse should be a national dish and whoever is sourcing the produce I hope wins all the awards. Coming back for date nights and special occasions.

I am in love with Perilla and will be coming back for sure! We went there on a Sunday evening, and so it was a set menu. The staff is welcoming and very gentle, the atmosphere inside is relaxed but curated and so it's the decor. We took 2 dishes each with a glass of red wine and spent 96£ total which is fair. I like that the service charge is included ti the table. Starting from bread and butter, you'd think how can this be special?! Well, instead it is here at Perilla. As starters we've ordered a veggie soup and bruschetta with horseradish salad and curated beef and both were absolutely flavourful. I needed more bread for scarpetta in the soup 🤣. The main, which was beef came in a sharing plate with a side of salad and a variety of veggies. The meat was absolutely fantastic, the salad was amazing as each leaves had its condiment and the sides were really good. As I don't love beens, I would have appreciated more of the other vegetables but that's just personal preference! Definitely give it a try!

A wonderful local restaurant deserved of all the acclaim! From the more than accommodating staff, to the vibey soundtrack and ofcourse the delicious food! The brown butter is straight out of heaven , paired with WARM bread (I know I sound easily pleased but so many restaurants miss this!). Overall a wonderful experience. The attention to detail at Perilla is unmatched - from the beautiful hand crafted tables with menu/cutlery slots to the presentation of the food. Our highlights were the French onion soup w croquettes.

Super cute restaurant in Newington Green. We popped in on a Saturday evening and they kindly welcomed and showed us a table for 2 even without booking (we got lucky, I recommend booking in advance). The atmosphere is fantastic. Very warm, nice lights and nice tunes. Cutlery is in little drawers on the table along with the menu, which I found fun. We had bread and butter, meat and pasta. All were super delicious. The portions are a tad small and is prices above average but we were so very happy with everything we had. Strongly recommend bread and butter especially, it was dreamy.

Tried Perilla with high expectations and unfortunately I was left a little disappointed. The decor and setting was beautiful - the individual drawers with cutlery and the menu was a great touch! The service was professional but curt. The pasta we ordered was very bland and ended up being taken off our bill. The mushroom crepe and seafood dish were above average.
