Food
Perch
calls
itself
a
‘wine
and
coffee
bar’
but
it’s
also
a
very
good
place
for
food.
This
restaurant
stretches
across
two
levels:
on
the
first
floor
(only
stairs,
no
lift,
as
is
the
norm
in
Khan
Market),
and
on
the
floor
above.
My
brother
and
I
came
here
for
lunch,
and
found
that
all
the
‘regular
tables’
(read:
with
normal
chairs)
were
occupied,
so
all
that
was
left
were
the
high
tables
with
bar
stools,
on
which
you
perch.
We
settled
in
at
the
table
in
the
centre
of
the
restaurant,
which
seems
to
function
partly
as
a
sort
of
waiting
area—you
can
sit
here
with
your
glass
of
wine
or
whatever
until
they
find
another
table
for
you.
However,
we
were
quite
comfortable
at
this
table
(and
we
had
it
to
ourselves),
so
even
hen
we
were
offered
a
table
upstairs,
we
opted
to
keep
sitting
here.
Almost
all
the
tables
around
us
were
occupied
by
people
at
work:
several
business
meetings
were
going
on,
and
a
couple
of
people
were
working
in
laptops
as
well.
The
menu
at
Perch
is
not
a
huge
one.
The
wine
and
coffee
lists
(which
also
include
some
soft
drinks,
cocktails,
etc)
are
part
of
the
menu,
plus
there
are
small
plates,
large
plates,
and
desserts.
The
food
is
international.
We
ordered
the
following
dishes:
Mushroom
croquettes:
Five
to
a
portion,
these
were
pretty
large,
the
outside
a
crisp
shell,
the
inside
almost
meltingly
soft.
Delicious
enough
on
their
own,
without
needing
the
dip
that
accompanied
them.
Pork
Scotch
egg:
A
huge
Scotch
egg,
wrapped
around
with
minced
pork,
crumbed
and
fried.
I
was
very
impressed
with
this—the
pork
(which
was
delicious)
was
perfectly
cooked,
the
outside
crumb
was
crunchy
and
golden,
and
yet
the
egg
yolk
was
oozy.
This
came
with
a
little
heap
of
spiralized
carrots,
and
an
emulsion
of
grapes
and
mustard,
of
which
I’d
have
liked
a
bit
more,
it
was
so
yummy.
A
great
dish.
Cherry
whisky
cheesecake
with
plum
pudding
ice
cream:
The
dish’s
name
on
the
menu
says
it
all.
The
plum
pudding
ice
cream
could
have
done
with
some
dried
fruit
(I
got
bits
of
crumbled
pudding,
and
the
flavour
of
the
spice
and
alcohol
was
excellent,
though),
and
I
do
wish
there
had
been
more
cherries
inside
the
cheesecake,
not
just
as
a
garnish.
This
was
a
good
dessert,
but
its
description
gave
the
impression
of
more
fruit
than
there
was
in
the
dish—and
me
being
a
lover
of
fruity
desserts,
I
was
a
bit
disappointed.
We
finished
with
a
cup
of
flat
white
each,
with
came
with
its
own
little
accompaniments:
a
tiny
slice
of
what
seemed
like
banana
bread,
and
a
tiny
biscuit.
The
coffee
was
excellent.
In
all,
we
paid
Rs
2,529
for
our
meal,
taxed
and
service
charges
included.
