Perquin

We are so mad that we haven’t tried this restaurant earlier!! The menu is inspired daily by fresh ingredients and you can 100% tell. I feel like it’s rare to come upon a restaurant that values genuine creativity and quality, this Perquin does it. I can feel the love and fun in this food in every bite, and the quality of ingredients are justified in every bite. We will be coming back for the happy hours they host during the week and look forward to enjoying more creative, fresh, and fun dishes.

I've been to Perquin multiple times now so I'm sharing a few photos from various experiences. The atmosphere is always great and the staff makes it a wonderful experience every time. The food is always AMAZING and the food and cocktail specials change so there's always something new to try. I'm a cocktail snob and their bartender, JP, Makes the absolute best cocktails and is very consistent! Definitely one of my go-to restaurants. A must try for sure.

Me and my Husband went for quick happy hour stop. Amazing service and drink options. Great prices for happy hour. Their food menu does change daily. We only tried the fish Ceviche. Definitely will be coming back

An absolute gem! The shrimp tacos were bursting with flavor, perfectly seasoned and fresh. The Margarita was spot-on—balanced and bold—and the Pisco Sour? Hands down the best I’ve ever had. Authentic South American vibes, amazing service, and unforgettable food. A must-visit!"

If you’re looking for an incredible dining experience, Perquin is an absolute gem of a Peruvian restaurant! From the moment we stepped in, the two owners made us feel so welcome—they’re absolutely lovely and clearly passionate about what they do. The atmosphere is vibrant yet cozy, with great music that perfectly complements the lively, yet intimate vibe. We went as a group and opted for the prix fixe menu, which was an excellent decision. This allowed us to sample almost everything on the menu, and let me tell you, the flavors were out of this world! Each dish was bursting with unique, jampacked flavors that showcased the best of Peruvian cuisine. The cocktails were another highlight—creative, refreshing, and perfectly crafted. The service was just as incredible as the food, with the staff being attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the dishes. As for the food itself, I had so many favorites that it’s hard to choose! The ceviche was fresh and vibrant, the mussels were rich and flavorful, and the tortillas and quesadillas were absolutely divine. Even the french fries were next-level! The salad was also a standout—simple but packed with flavor. If you’re looking for a spot with amazing food, top-tier service, and a fantastic atmosphere, Perquin is a must-visit. Can’t wait to go back!

Perquin has been one of my favorite restaraunt experiences in years. Hands down the best chicken entree I've had in my life. The staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful. They talked us through unfamiliar dishes with expertise. The restaraunt itself is a great small spot with a large bar. Noise was reasonable despite its size, and everything was clean and welcoming. Every dish we had was better than the last and resulted in us ordering almost the entire menu and everything was worth it. The drinks were inventive and delicious. Recommend the pisco sour, but I enjoyed the raspberry daiquiri the most. This was one of my first experiences with Honduran / Ecuadorian food and it will not be my last. My only hope is that other similar restaraunts we'll be trying can keep up!

I went here with a friend and we sat at the bar. The vibe is great and love the staff. Cocktails are delicious. We got the Avocado martini, a margarita and an espresso martini. I would describe the food as Spanish street food with a twist. We got the ceviche, Honduran street food with steak and the banana fritters. Everything was delicious. I will be back!

Probably one of the hottest spots in Jersey City. This is hands down some of the best food I had in this town. The portions are generous and the flavor of each dish left me excited for more. Can’t forget the amazing staff here, constantly checking on you. Didn’t feel ignored once. The menu is constantly rotating as they bring in fresh items, which means I’ll have to be back often.
