    This place is fantastic, and we’ll definitely be back! The food is delicious, with a creative menu that offers unique and special options to try. What truly sets it apart is the atmosphere: the restaurant is beautifully decorated with candles, plants, and charming tables, creating a warm and inviting vibe. One thing to keep in mind: it can get quite noisy, especially when it’s crowded.

    First fine dining experience for me and it is definitely worth the affordable price for what it is and the food excelled the price point. Would go again if invited :)

    If you have a chance to get to Perilla seize it with both hands. Amazing, inventive, delicious food. Certainly one of the very best eating experiences in London.

    Thank you Perilla! I would love to return as the food, cocktails, service, and vibe were great. For me everything was 5 stars apart from value which I gave 4 stars. This was purely because of the portion size for the Bavette steak which you get for £26 (about 5 wafer thin slithers of steak which genuinely made us laugh out loud, but it was still delicious).

    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.
