Creative Jewish deli bites & dinners served in a funky, retro eatery.
"Expect a lively diner serving modern interpretations of Jewish classics (closed Monday and Tuesday), often with a sizable Saturday line; consider corned beef hash, “schlubby” dill fries topped with cheese and corned beef, latkes and knish, bagels with fish, hot dogs with inventive toppings, and a fine matzoh ball soup—don’t miss their beet-spiked Bloody Mary riff with an everything-bagel seasoning rim and pickled garnishes, which I consider a must-order." - Missy Frederick
"Before JewFro opened, there were already restaurants serving Jewish or African food in Richmond, of course. Locals love Perly’s Deli, Africanne on Main, and Nile, among others." - ByEric Ginsburg
"A Classic Jewish Deli for Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner Popular all day long, Perly’s has an authentic art deco interior and an equally authentic, slightly updated New York deli menu. Breakfast includes latkes and blintzes, lunch includes a sublime Reuben, and dinner might start with lox or smoked whitefish, proceed to brisket, and end with a commendable cheesecake."
Downtown’s Jewish deli icon keeps a devoted lunch crowd with matzo ball soup, overstuffed sandwiches, and sly humor. Featured in The Washington Post and recently spotlighted by Southern Living, it’s a lively slice of RVA food culture open daily for lunch.
Downtown’s beloved Jewish deli turns brunch into an occasion—think Benny Goodman latke benedicts and babka French toast. Praised by The Washington Post and Southern Living, plus a perennial local favorite.
