"Four courses: £66 Perilla is one of north east London’s moodiest dinner spots. The restaurant on the corner of Newington Green has the capacity to serve a whole hollowed-out onion’s worth of flavour, and its four-course set menu is an excellent choice for a classy, low-key special occasion. The food is familiar flavours ramped up to the max, and combined with its low-lit, hands-across-the-table ambience, it makes for one of the best neighbourhood set menus around." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
