Over dit restaurant

Innovatief
Juweeltje in de wijk
Goed voor speciale gelegenheden

Pero Restaurant is as rich and diverse as Eastern African culture. The spectrum Pero Restaurant cuisine can be said to lie between two dietary extremes: vegetarianism and carnivorism. The essence of good Eastern African cooking revolves around the appropriate use of aromatic spices. The skill lies in subtle blending of a variety of spices to enhance, rather than overwhelm the basic flavour of a particular dish. Pero food relies on the spices in which it is cooked, just as Japanese Sushi relies on the freshness of the meat, and Chinese food relies on the various sauces to impart the right flavour and taste. It is interesting to see an Eastern African chef at work with a palette of spices, gratuitously sprinkling these powders in exact pinches into the dish in front of him. It is these complexities of regional food in Eastern Africa that make it such a fascinating experience.

Simply put, delicious! We came with a Groupon with our toddler, and even though he was screaming a bit, the staff there were very accommodating. It also helped that we were there before 6pm on a Saturday, so we were the only ones there at the time. The service was good, and the food was as well. We had the Pero's platter for two, and my favourite was the beef. The lentils were a bit too spicy for my wife, and was on my upper range as well. Decor is nice & cultural, with some soft relaxing music in the background. My wife kept saying that she's looking forward to coming back, and I am as well!

Went here for Winterlicious dinner on Friday, January 27 with a couple of girlfriends. We were greeted by the owner himself and what a pleasant man! Staff were nice and attentive throughout the night. Nice, cosy, comfortable and eclectic atmosphere decked out with images, niknaks and paintings from and inspired from the homeland. FOOD was incredible! We had the Collard Greens & Split Pea and Veggie Rolls for the appetizers. Beautifully presented and very delicious. For our main dishes, we had Beef Tibsi and Fish Goulash. I'm not a huge spicy eater and the awaze and berbere were mixed in other spices to create more of a flavour than just heat. Servers explained how to eat the dishes which was greatly appreciated, being our first time eating Ethiopian food. For dessert, we all shared the Coffee Cake, Chocolate Cake and Cheesecake. All were very good and not too sweet. Portion sizes of all dishes were perfect. Highly recommend this place and will be returning to try other items on the menu. Thank you Pero!

Upon arrival we got seated really quick. A server took our drink orders, then our food options, even providing a few suggestions in terms of alternatives since all of our picks were very similar. Which I really appreciated. We needed up waiting a good 20 minutes for our drinks, which I would understand had they been busy, but that wasn't the case at 7pm when we arrived. When we got the drinks, none of them were very strong, I don't mean drown us in alchohol, but surely you ought to feel the liquor working somewhat, that wasn't the case at all. While ordering our food I explicitly mentioned we wanted the beef variation of the dish and that chicken seemed plain. When the food arrived two of the tibs dishes are chicken, they did however get the vegetable dishes we ordered right, although there is no beef on the plate. After realizing they got the order wrong, I pointed it out to the server, she takes our plate from which we had started eating the vegetables and other dishes, leaving two members of my party of three looking around waiting. Seeing how it was a mistake on the restaurants part, they could have left us to eat from what was served, while they made the beef dish or ask is the substitution was alright. All in all we waited another 10 minutes for the food to arrive yet again. For me this was a huge turnoff towards the rest of the meal. It's not like they would use what was served to us for another customer....at least I hope they don't. Mistakes happen, I get that but it should not have been handled this way. All that being said for the price, the flavours weren't all there. I've visited several Ethiopian restaurants in the Ossington area. Pero, despite having the better ambience, lacked in the spices and flavours that define the cuisine. Lalibela down the street offers more value in terms of price and quantity and tastes way better than Pero any day.

A tasty introduction to Ethiopian food, in a very pleasant, informal and comfortable ambience. Be prepared to eat with your fingers, though, and don't worry about getting them dirty - you're going to be able to clean your hands in water brought to the table at the end of the meal!

Pero is a hidden gem. Excellent, spicy (or not if you prefer) tasty food. It was a culinary food explosion going on in our mouths. Everyone loved their meals and pretty much ate everything off their plate. We will definitely be going back. In fact, it's going to be our favorite spot. Thy also have live music downstairs but we didn't get a chance to check it out because we were too busy enjoying our food and the ambience. The chef even made a special salad dressing for my daughter. We love Pero and can't wait to go back. You should go.

We hadn't tried Eritrean food before. We loved it. We liked the veggie rolls and the fish goulash best. Goes well with beer. Delicious food, gracious service, overall a great experience.

Pero was a terrific fun. The African menu was a great new dining experience for us. The service was attentive and educated us on what we were experiencing - right down to how to eat it correctly. Pero himself just added to the event - a full of life character that welcomed us and made sure we were taken care of. I will be back!
