    Michelin recommended Ten Restaurant from Toronto will be joining us in Ottawa for one night to do an 8 course collaboration menu. Four courses from Ten and four from Perch. Ten is an unapologetically plant focused restaurant, pushing the limit on how we treat and cook vegetables. Leading the way in sustainable cuisine and a healthy work culture within restaurants. Tasting menu is $150 per person Beverage Pairing (Optional) is $100 per person Due to the nature of this event we are unable to accept some dietary restrictions, including; Vegan, No Allium, No Soy (unless soy sauce/miso is ok). We apologize for any inconveniences.

    What a great experience we've had. The service was not only superb, but we were served by extremely competent servers, who took the time to explain how the food was prepared and where the ingredients came from, always in a very friendly manner. The proposed drinks to accompany the food were perfect matches. Speaking of the food, this was among the best I have had for a long time. I highly recommend this culinary experience!

    This was a phenomenal treat- starting with a gift certificate from our daughter and her partner. From out-of-country they searched sustainable, Canadian, creative and accommodating. And found perch. The nine course surprised tasting menu was one wonderful surprise after another, paired with interesting alcohols. The calvados/vermouth/amaro house blend at the end was deeply memorable. Back to the food. Fennel poached mussels, mustard macaron with scallop, salmon squash pudding, etc etc and etc. Each dish was unique and satisfying. I appreciated the “kitchen waste” dessert at the end of the meal and also that it wasn’t too sweet, but it was the one miss, if only because it was quite dry. We loved the experience and will definitely be back.

    Wonderful pleasant service, very delicious food, the non alcoholic pairing was interesting. The one pairing did not hit the mark as it tasted purely like vinegar. Food was top notch until the dessert which all 4 of us agreed did not taste very good. I appreciate the effort to not want to have food waste but the dessert tasted as much which made us wonder if the team actually tasted and approved it. Again, the service and team was outstanding and this place is worth a visit, or many.

    Excellent food prepared with meticulous detail. The staff are so warm and friendly and knowledgeable about the food and drink. Was able to accommodate a few dietary restrictions with attention to detail even in providing me the menu that reflected those changes. Wonderful evening experience and hope to find some of the wines again.

    Excellent tasting selections. Quite varied and prepared by the chefs with artistic flair. Portions were more than adequate to satisfy our hunger but you do need to set aside 3 hours to fully enjoy the experience. The staff were exceptional in ensuring a very enjoyable evening.
