Pera Soho: an oasis in the middle of SoHo!
Last week Ryu and I went to Pera SoHo, a mediterranean restaurant in, well, SoHo. And we had such a great time that I had to share the experience with you!
I was so delighted with the vegan options they had on the menu and how accommodating they were with me! So for that and other reasons I will tell you more below, here I am!

The restaurant and service:
The atmosphere is vibrant (we were sitting indoors) whether you’re sitting at the patio or inside, there is a full-service bar and since It was happy hour time, we could feel the great energy! The decor is elegant and modern, but at the same time with a casual touch in my opinion, making it a great place to have a romantic date or to catch up and share fun moments with friends!
The service was impeccable, everyone was extremely nice, from the hostess to our servers and even the manager who came over to personally check how everything was going.
Outdoor seating:
One of the things I loved the most about Pera SoHo was the outdoor seating area. For a nice summer day, that is for sure your best bet! They also have fans blowing to keep everyone feeling nice and cool even with the extreme NYC summer. For some reason we decided to sit indoors, not that I regret it, but I do want to go back and enjoy the rest of the summer out there!
My favorites:
Everything was delicious, but the Enginar and Peas (U$12) stole my heart! Also…the hummus (U$9)! It was the first time I had hummus served warm, it was really good! As I mentioned before, I’m vegan but they were able to recommend naturally vegan dishes or removed the cheese or other animal ingredient from it, so I went ahead and ordered the Penn “Kasaba” (U$19)! Riyu had lam chops with cauliflower puree. As you can see, we had no room left for dessert after all that food!
