   Our first time at Perilla for my father’s 70th. There were 2 vegans in our party of 5 and the staff were so communicative and accommodating. The set menu was modified and they remained communicative and cheerful when other amendments had to be made to the booking. The experience on entry is comfortable and welcoming. The restaurant smells fresh and alive. We were met with smiles, offers to take coats and bags and directions to our seats. There is some delightful theatre around menu and cutlery which I will not spoil in this review. A very charming birthday card was on the table. Our waitress was charming, thoughtful and patient as were all the staff we met. There was no pressure to buy extras or expensive bottles. We had the mini glasses with the taster menu and 2 non alcoholic options, that were home made and delightful. The wine pairings were wonderfully explained by the sommelier and they provided different pairing for our vegan guest which was above and beyond. The food is a sensory adventure. All cooked and prepared to perfection. Our plates were scraped clean and even the less adventurous diners in our party dived in. The restaurant was as ever busy but service remained slick without the screaming and crashing about that many popular spots have. The desert for our vegan guests became a brilliant riddle as we were challenged to guess the ingredients. Food as magic. The bill arrives in a gorgeous printed envelope with a handy division according to seats. These tiny touches are what make perilla great. You are constantly eased. We were so impressed and even though this is not cheap dining that is because it is premium dining. If you want to experience fine dining perilla delivers. The space is unpretentious but manages to transport you to a time before brexit and the fire state the UK is in. Perilla is vibrant and special. Dive in, swim about and enjoy a brief few hours of eloquent decadence and taste exploration.

   Absolutely wonderful meal to end 2024, and probably my favourite! Such a well curated menu (and super adaptable to accommodate a food intolerance) with fantastic wine pairings, and friendly staff alongside.

   Highly enjoyable lunch, really interesting flavours for the Sunday set menu especially the scotch egg. Seasoning was on point with everything being at its max of deliciousness so cannot complain. Service was great from start to finish, we found a small piece of plastic in our buratta so informed the server. They comped us some dessert which was a nice surprise. We left feeling like the place had superb hospitality, it was very relaxing and hit on all levels. Can’t wait to come back to try to tasting menu.
