Perch

Perch is, as always, beautiful, stylish, and atmospheric. The view, interior, and overall ambiance are superb; it's a pleasure to simply sit and enjoy the atmosphere. However, we were in for a small surprise: we arrived for lunch at 3:30 PM, but it turned out they were still serving breakfast at that hour. So, our "lunch" consisted of egg dishes and omelets, enthusiastically drinks with alcoholic cocktails. Not the most typical scenario, but perhaps this is the perfect balance between brunch and early aperitif. "Original" – Perch knows how to surprise...

perch is one of those spots that just gets it. the rooftop view of downtown la is insane, especially around sunset, straight-up cinematic vibes. the ambiance feels classy but not stiff, like you can dress up and still feel relaxed. the food is solid and well-presented. i tried a couple of dishes and everything tasted fresh, balanced, and thoughtfully made. drinks were on point too, not watered down nonsense, actually crafted cocktails. service deserves a shoutout. attentive without hovering, friendly without being fake. they make you feel welcome instead of rushed, which is rare in busy rooftop spots. overall, perch nails the experience: views, food, drinks, and atmosphere all working together. yeah it’s a bit on the pricier side, but honestly? worth it for a special night or when you wanna feel a little main-character energy in la. would definitely go back

Wwle visited Perch for a date night, and it was such a great experience. The rooftop is great and special. The staff were welcoming from the moment we arrived, which added to the whole vibe. We ordered the salmon and the steak, and both dishes were delicious, flavorful, well-cooked, and honestly even better than we expected because we ordered the baked Brie for the appetizer and it was average. We really enjoyed everything about the night.

It has a rooftop and a great environment. You need to go to the 13th floor first and then transfer to the 15th floor. It offers dining options and also has an outdoor area. The 16th floor is the rooftop, where the night view is fantastic. The food taste is just so-so, but the environment adds a lot of points. Finally, they also gave us three glasses of champagne, which was really nice.

Perch in Downtown Los Angeles is one of those rare places that makes the city itself feel cinematic. Perched high above Pershing Square, it offers a panoramic view that stretches from the shimmering skyline to the Hollywood Hills. It’s no wonder that this French-inspired rooftop restaurant draws both locals and travelers looking for that quintessential LA evening. Yes, it can get crowded, especially on weekends, but it’s part of the energy and allure. The key is to lean into it, find your rhythm, and let the ambiance carry the night. The food here is consistently excellent. The French onion soup is one of the best in the city, rich and deeply caramelized with a perfect layer of melted Gruyère. The steak frites are a signature dish for good reason: perfectly cooked, served with crisp, salty fries and a velvety peppercorn sauce that feels indulgent but balanced. The moules frites are another standout, swimming in a white wine broth fragrant with garlic and herbs. For something lighter, the roasted beet salad and the seared scallops both show real finesse. The cocktail list is thoughtful, with house specialties like the Hemingway daiquiri and a lavender martini that pairs beautifully with the sunset. Romantic, delicious, and unforgettable, Perch is one of LA’s rare spots that truly earns its reputation.
