Perilla

Humble ingredients, laid-back attitude

The Square, Noma, Operakällaren, and Polpo are some of the well-known restaurants that appear on the Perilla owners’ CVs. This is self-assured cooking that’s based on quality ingredients and a clear aversion to fine dining. You go to Perilla to enjoy rustic, well-prepared dishes without frills in a relaxed setting. The interior design follows the same lines: it’s bright, open, natural, and down-to-earth. The concept embodies transparency and honesty from start to finish.

Summary:

• 80–90 percent organic ingredients

• Regular visits to farmers and growers

• Low or no intervention wines

• Focus on staff wellbeing

• Effort to network, organize pop-ups, and engage on industry issues
