"If your idea of the perfect neighbourhood restaurant is a spacious and shabby-chic corner spot serving dishes like chocolate tart with a peanut and salted caramel base, then Perilla is the place for you. Come evening this classy (but decidedly casual) fine dining-ish restaurant is glowing from the yellow of dancing candles inside and, for £66, you can enjoy a four-dish tasting menu that will more often than not play with your idea of the classics. Think leek, potato, and aged comté rarebit, or a variety of sensational tart. As far date night restaurants with a difference go, Perilla up there." - Jake Oliver, Daisy Meager, Heidi Lauth Beasley
