Bistro Perrier is set in our European Courtyard, which features charming cobblestone paths, an intimate, indoor rooftop deck, and an outdoor dining terrace. This quaint and relaxed atmosphere serves as the perfect backdrop for a bistro-style dining experience. We want our guests to feel at home as they enjoy delicious food and wine with friends and family over a long dinner, much like one would at a bistro in the heart of Paris.

I had the opportunity to eat at the Bistro Perrier on a few occasions. Booking a reservation online is quick and easy. Upon arriving I was greeted by a host who took us to our seats. I have been able to sit in different parts of the bistro to enjoy different scenery.
We ordered Raclette Potatoes, Mussels (which has been a favorite), Pan Roasted Salmon and Steak Frites. We also had a variety of desserts.
The students are really able to showcase their skills whether greeting, managing tables, taking orders and the students making the food.

This precious student run dining features specials developed solely by them as well as other favorites. Keep this in mind as aside from your host (also their professor) 100% of the staff are students. Think of it like Culinary Institute but in University City
I started with a glass of wine and a salad based on arugula with a spring pea purée. I followed that with a lamb dish that had probably the best roasted carrot I ever tasted, perfectly cooked lamb and a parsnip purée that had deep umami. I splurged on a side of the mushroom fricassee which had a great variety of mushrooms in a light cream sauce. I wish I had room for the in house desserts but I may have accidentally eaten one of the baked breads with sea salt encrusted butter which filled me up!
A few things – the students are also servers so they are learning different parts (front bs back of the house). So I had to ask for a wine list and a little more detail than she was able to provide in some entrees. Also the plating is a place they could improve so keep that in mind – the food tastes great even if it’s not decked out in microgreens etc.
The atmosphere in the back is like a French bistro and the bar area is a throwback charmer. Perfect for friends or a date night. Any tips go back to the program enjoy!

Bistro Perrier is a restaurant that puts in a effort to make itself authentically French.The service while a little bit nervous was good.The food quality was above average.The taste of the food was what you expect from a French restaurant,which isn’t that easy for it being in Philadelphia. The extras that you get with your meal is also a nice touch.The food however could use(like the rabbit)a bit more seasoning,and better Execution.

Loved this place. Got their Valentine’s Day menu (the day after). Had a smoked salmon dish, parsnip soup, steak dish, halibut. They even made my daughter a fettuccine Alfredo dish, how nice of them! The dessert where a chocolate pot de creme and a mocha tart (not my favorite but I really don’t care for coffee, so that’s on me). We where do pleases with the dinner it’s hard to believe that students are in the kitchen cooking it. I think it speaks volumes about the teachers instructing them. Good job all around.

A real amazing restaurant. Everyone was ready to help us, always kind and happy. The manager, sorry I don’t remember his name, is fantastic! He came to the parking lot to show us where was a handicapp space. He took the wheelchair out of the trunk and pushed me all the way inside. (Made my husband happy too! 😉
They helped us choose a wine, and advise on the menu, because of allergies.
It was my birthday so they made a vegan dessert for me.
I wholeheartedly recommend this place. You can splurge with a meal, wine, dessert and all; Top of the line menu and help, without the pocket suffering much.
Thank you so much!!

A slice of France amidst philly! The ambience is so nice with the decorations and everything, it reminded me of Paris. The service was great, friendly and helpful waiters and waitress. We had two appetisers of steak and snails , both of which were really good. Among the entrees, we tried the salmon and beef bourguignon. The salmon dish was very unique with lentils. The beef tasted good but was a little overcooked and chewy. The house cocktails made by the students were also really tasty as was the honey creme brulee. Thanks for the awesome hospitality and the complementary chocolate truffles. Definitely coming back again.

2 stars because of the mussels fries soup and bread. Feel bad but food was inedible otherwise. I appreciate the students trying but the executive chef or teacher really needs to work on quality control.

Bistro Perrier is a testament to the artistry and dedication of aspiring chefs at The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College.
I had the pleasure of indulging in their Steak Frites, a beautifully prepared ribeye that was nothing short of exceptional. Cooked to perfection, the steak was tender, rich in flavor, and complemented by expertly crisped fries—a classic executed with finesse. Every bite reflected the precision and commitment of the talented culinary students and their mentors.
Beyond the dish itself, what truly sets Bistro Perrier apart is the unwavering attention to detail and refinement in both service and presentation. The experience is a delightful blend of sophistication and approachability, making it a must-visit for anyone in University City seeking a memorable dining experience.
For those who appreciate high-quality cuisine with a touch of French-inspired excellence, Bistro Perrier is an undeniable gem. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, I highly recommend making this restaurant a priority—it’s a culinary journey well worth taking.
