Perenn at Rancharrah

The Best Restaurants and Bars in Reno, Nevada | Eater Vegas

"Perenn began as a modest Midtown bakery and expanded its scope with a larger space and menu at Rancharrah, a suburban outdoor plaza with a farmhouse aesthetic. Pastries and baked goods are specialties of the house. (How could they not be when the wifi password is “glutenlover”?) Try the griddled banana bread with perfectly crispy edges, buttery and layered croissants, and chewy miso peanut butter cookies. Perenn balances out the menu with savory dishes like a grilled-barely-above-rare salmon filet and the popular Turkish eggs: sunny side up with a dollop of yogurt, chickpeas, and chili oil with house-baked bread on the side. Bring your appetite — and patience. Everyone orders at the same counter and the line gets long, allowing patrons to browse the pastry collection, cakes, and a few retail items while waiting to place an order. Perenn also runs a small, separate grocery market in a neighboring space that’s far less chaotic, but shares the same dedication to uniquely artisan food products." - Rob Kachelriess
