    My daughter’s experience was excellent as she is pescatarian. Mine was less so. I had asked if a vegan diet could be accommodated and was assured it could be. I was confident the restaurant would as I even got a phone call a couple of days in advance to ask if I ate honey, which I don’t. However, most of my tasting menu tasted of fish. It might have been done with seaweed for flavouring, but I did not enjoy it. If you are vegan and miss seafood, this could be a great choice for you.

    This was one of the most special meals of my life. Some of the most unique food I’ve come across, the attentiveness of the staff is amazing, with the best drinks to tie it all off. I left here with so much inspiration to push myself further in this industry to hopefully work along side people like this in the future. I left here with amazing memory’s and a few recipes. Considering I don’t even like fish and I ate every bite with enthusiasm is a testament the quality the team pushes out. I recommend this to experience to everyone 11/10 thank you perch.

    This was the best meal I have had in Ottawa. The service was polite and to the point, the food was exceptional, and the atmosphere was minimalist and beautiful. I cannot recommend this dining experience enough.

    Perch was absolutely amazing.. the food was fabulous, as was the service and ambience of the place. They were able to beautifully accommodate my gluten intolerance, providing two different kinds of bread throughout the tasting experience.. highly recommend for a fancy and fun dining night out.

    The best experience of my life! The food was great, and the place was immaculate. We were welcomed by very friendly staff, and made the whole experience like a magic. Since it was 9 tasting menu i thought i would not be full, however by end of last one, i was full! I thought 3 hours dining was exaggeration but it really took my fiancée and myself 3 hours without a delay. Food: very innovative and beautiful presentation. I could tell there was a theme to the tasting menus. I loved how when each dish was presented, it was explained by chefs/staff which made the experience better. I would 100% go back and I love this place! :)

    The word "unforgettable" gets thrown around a lot, but Perch truly deserves it. We tried both the wine and house ferment pairings to the tasting menu, and were floored by the creativity, attention to detail, and overall outstanding quality of each item served, as well as the thorough explanations of each component, its source, and the restaurant's commitment to sustainability. Beyond the impeccable dishes, the service we received was absolutely top notch. Every staff member was knowledgeable, friendly, and committed to creating an incredible dining experience. We "felt the love" all night! Finally, as far as fine dining tasting menus go, Perch provided exceptional value for money in terms of portions, variety, and again, outstanding quality and service. We never wanted the night to end, but since it had to, the only solution is to come back!

    We had a lovely experience! The 9 course tasting menu and non alcoholic drink pairing was incredible. The flavours were unique and served in such a creative way. All the staff we interacted with were very friendly and you could see the passion. Incredible experience and highly recommend!
