Perly's

A retro Jewish deli downtown, known for brunch and updated Eastern European Jewish home cooking, and considered Richmond's closest thing to a New York deli.

A Jewish deli on East Grace Street downtown with a retro, old-school interior. It was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and included on Eater's list of Richmond must-visit restaurants. The menu is Eastern European Jewish home cooking with modern twists. The matzo ball soup, potato latkes, knishes and the Jewish take on the sailor sandwich are the most praised, and there are also Reuben sandwiches and breakfast platters. Only brunch is served and weekend lines are long, so arriving right at opening is recommended.
