PERRON (BRYANSTON)

BEST FOR Festive sharing. FOOD Either start with a light nibble – the fiery, home-made jalapeño poppers will do – followed by a chipotle chicken, steak or slow-roasted pork burrito. Or pick from one of the 14 small plates, followed by a main meal from the classics. For a big bowl of comfort food, try the chilli, a spicy mix of minced beef and beans with all the trimmings, or the black beans with spicy aubergine, coriander cauliflower rice and fresh avocado. The tastiest dish is the tender spicy braised lamb shoulder taco, followed closely by the fish taco of lightly battered hake and a crunchy slaw. End with the churros. DRINKS 26 different kinds of tequila, with margarita options including jalapeño and coriander or tangerine ginger. Or have a Mexican beer. SERVICE Warm and friendly. AMBIENCE The colourful décor suits the playful mood. (KK)
