We absolutely loved both the food and the experience. We did the tasting menu (without the wine pairing), we picked our own wines which were also amazing. And you know the food is good when everyone has a different favourite dish on the menu, smart menu design! We appreciated the team also checking on us and asking for feedback.

Great food, atmosphere and delicious wine! My friends and I had dinner and it’s so lovely and rare to see such attention to detail in everything, starting with how attentive the service was, all the way to the ever-changing menu and the dimmed lights, candles and plants around. It’s so clear the restaurant is owned and run by people that love it, and it truly made my experience that much better. Their bread and butter were a showstopper! I had deer as a main, and it was out of this world! I would definitely come again and would recommend!

Great dining experience but expect small portions! Interesting flavours and staff is 10/10! Bonus points on the bread and butter and the herb sorbet!! Absolutely delicious with the latter being one of a kind!

We visited Perilla for a birthday meal, and the experience was a great blend of laid-back charm and sophisticated cool. We opted for the set menu, priced at £75 per person, which included four dishes. We also ordered the ham hock with mussels as an extra to try. To start, we had cocktails, which were fantastic—an apple whisky sour that felt festive, and a classic negroni. The bread served at the beginning was also excellent, with a rich caramel flavour. Every dish we tried was very good, but the highlight for me was the main course of duck breast with lentils. We paired our own wines, and the waitstaff were more than happy to provide recommendations. The food overall was full of flavour—complex yet simple in execution. It felt nourishing, featuring a variety of seasonal fruit and veg that complemented the dishes without overwhelming them. Our table was well-positioned, and it seemed like every table in the restaurant was thoughtfully placed. Unlike many other places, the tables here have plenty of space around them, making the atmosphere feel more intimate and comfortable. We never felt rushed and stayed for about two hours. One of the best parts of Perilla is their transparent pricing: the service charge is already included, so there are no surprises at the end. This upfront approach adds to the overall sense of value. In my opinion, the prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of the experience, which is fantastic.

Amazing experience! The set menu was absolutely delicious and the restaurant offers a cozy fine dining atmosphere. A must visiting hidden gem in Newington Green.
