What a lovely place to go for lunch, dinner or special occasion with a wonderful patisserie and coffee shop. After parking in their patrolled parking lot you hushed away to a quiet bistro where students are eager to take you through a culinary experience like no other in Center City Philadelphia. Make sure you place your reservations for the holidays soon, you won't regret it.
A real amazing restaurant. Everyone was ready to help us, always kind and happy. The manager, sorry I don't remember his name, is fantastic! He came to the parking lot to show us where was a handicapp space. He took the wheelchair out of the trunk and pushed me all the way inside. (Made my husband happy too! ;)
They helped us choose a wine, and advise on the menu, because of allergies.
It was my birthday so they made a vegan dessert for me.
I wholeheartedly recommend this place. You can splurge with a meal, wine, dessert and all; Top of the line menu and help, without the pocket suffering much.
Thank you so much!!
Loved this place. Got their Valentine’s Day menu (the day after). Had a smoked salmon dish, parsnip soup, steak dish, halibut. They even made my daughter a fettuccine Alfredo dish, how nice of them! The dessert where a chocolate pot de creme and a mocha tart (not my favorite but I really don’t care for coffee, so that’s on me). We where do pleases with the dinner it’s hard to believe that students are in the kitchen cooking it. I think it speaks volumes about the teachers instructing them. Good job all around.
Bistro Perrier is a restaurant that puts in a effort to make itself authentically French.The service while a little bit nervous was good.The food quality was above average.The taste of the food was what you expect from a French restaurant,which isn’t that easy for it being in Philadelphia. The extras that you get with your meal is also a nice touch.The food however could use(like the rabbit)a bit more seasoning,and better Execution.
A slice of France amidst philly! The ambience is so nice with the decorations and everything, it reminded me of Paris. The service was great, friendly and helpful waiters and waitress. We had two appetisers of steak and snails , both of which were really good. Among the entrees, we tried the salmon and beef bourguignon. The salmon dish was very unique with lentils. The beef tasted good but was a little overcooked and chewy. The house cocktails made by the students were also really tasty as was the honey creme brulee. Thanks for the awesome hospitality and the complementary chocolate truffles. Definitely coming back again.
romantic courtyard and very pleasant service by the restaurant-school students! nice but casual fine dining atmosphere. you will like the food if you are into the very classic french cuisine. the pino noir was fantastic! liked it a lot
A very unique dining experience, run by students and staff of the restaurant school. The dining area is designed to feel like a street in Paris and the cuisine follows suit. While the wait staff seems to be predominantly students still learning the finer points of the hospitality world, they are very accommodating and friendly. A great choice for a fine dining experience in University City.
We went here for my birthday and I found everything amazing - right from the appetizers to the (to die for) desserts. I really loved the holiday decorations especially the huge gingerbread Eiffel Tower at the entrance. It's a cute place but, it's not huge so definitely make reservations before you go. You will not be disappointed. It is expensive like any fancy French restaurant but, I think it was worth it.
Philadelphia’s best french restaurant (sorry, Parc). Students demonstrated great poise in serving and entertaining our party of 18. For a large group, couldn’t ask for a better setting than the balcony. The ambiance is on a whole other level (pun intended). Will definitely come back
Bistro Perrier is one of the hidden jewels in Philadelphia. This is truly one of the most beautiful restaurants. The main dining room gives you the feeling that you are in a quaint Parisian town. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, only enhancing your dining experience. The food would rival the best chef’s in France. The only disappointment is that I can not give more than 5 stars. This is a must go to.
