With a live band that speaks to your soul and food that satisfies the taste buds, Pero's serves up a platter of soul food that will do more than just fill you up!
Pero's is a north african restaurant/lounge located on Bloor Street in between Ossington and Christie. The dim lighting and collection of African art work on the walls add to the amazingly chilled out ambience that this place already emits.
The food is pretty standard Ethiopian cuisine: flavourful meat stews and a wonderful collection of vegetarian dishes served on these giant platters so that they can be shared among a family or a group of friends. While you can be the odd one out and try to fork and a knife this meal, I recommend getting the full experience by rolling up those sleeves, grabbing a crepe like roti and going to work with your hands.
While the food is on par with other Ethiopian hot spots in the city, the music is really what brings you back to this place. On a friday or saturday night, you can come in and experience some live R & B and soul...but to get the full feel of this place, i recommend coming out on a sunday night. Drawn in by the fusion of the African hand drums and a live soul band, herds of people come in with their famillies and friends to support Pero's on a sunday night.
Good food and great music that will get you high on life in no time...and if that doesn't work...they got a pretty decent bar that might do the trick!
