Ordering Strategy
The menu changes daily based on availability; the tasting menu (around £66) is widely recommended as the best value way to experience the kitchen's low-waste philosophy.
What to order
Yesterday's bread soaked in moules mariniere
This dish exemplifies the restaurant's low-waste ethos, elevating the simple act of dunking bread into sauce 'to the nth degree.'
Roast Herdwick lamb
Consistently praised over years of reviews as the 'perfect spring-on-a-plate dish,' it is noted for being 'uniformly pink' and served with refined condiments like parmesan cream or goat's curd.
Beer battered cod cheeks
A 'must-have snack' featuring 'exceptional' salted gooseberries and a 'pitch-perfect' chip shop curry sauce.
Chocolate, hazelnut and salted caramel pavé
A long-standing 'mainstay of the Perilla menu for years' that critics rank among the best chocolate desserts in London.
