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.
Very creative dishes with a plant and fish-led menu. Service was charming, with some nice wines. Thanks for a great birthday meal!
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.
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.
We ordered the set menu with the wine pairing. The food was delicious, the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend. We will be back!
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.
Incredible night at Perilla celebrating a birthday. We got the tasting menu and required it gluten free as we had a celiac with us. Kitchen staff very kindly offered to swap out a non-gluten-free option with one that is (it was also double the price, and it was their favourite dish of the night - the monkfish). Incredible freshness in every dish and such amazing tastes. The grilled strawberries and custard at the end was incredible also. I have been recommending this place to everyone. Pictured is the strawberries, lamb and mushroom crepe.
I really loved this place! We went on a Sunday so it was a set menu and it did not disappoint! The bread and dishes were incredible! The interior was really cozy and the staff was so friendly. I would definitely go here again. I really recommend it for a fancy night out in East London. You should check first if there are any reservations available.
Very modern dishes and superbly prepared, service was good, but I do wonder whether it was value for money. In fact, don't go if you're looking for value, just enjoy the cuisine, service and surroundings, and get someone else to pay, like I did (thank you WC x)
Good food, especially the fish and vegetarian options. Nice decor and good vibe. Bit pricy for portion size.
