About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for happy hour
Set in a beautiful restored heritage building in Victoria's old town, Perro Negro (Black Dog) is an extension of the popular Ferris' Upstairs Seafood & Oyster Bar. Born of a love of Spanish food and culture, Perro Negro features an extensive list of tapas, sherry, and wine from Spain, BC, and beyond, served in an atmosphere that is lively, casual and fun! Entered through Ferris' Upstairs Seafood & Oyster Bar, Perro Negro is a true hidden gem.
Chef & owner Dave Craggs' early memories of growing up on Vancouver Island center around food; digging for clams, roasting oysters on beach fires, picking shrimp from the docks at Peddar Bay and eating fresh fish from the waters of East Sooke.
Dave's culinary influences point heavily to the countries of the Mediterranean, in particular Spain, where he travels often. Dave is happiest when eating simply prepared, freshly caught seafood, preferably on a beach with his toes in the sand.

    We brought friends here who have never been and ordered a bunch of things off the menu to share. Most of the hot items we ordered were cold, and the pan seared lingcod was dry and flavourless but the rest of the dish made up for it. The Patata Bravas were deep fried to the point they didn’t resemble a potato and the anchovies were deeply disappointing with a single anchovy skewered on a toothpick with an olive and pepper! We found the service to be a little slow especially when we were waiting on drinks. Generally with each new dish we would expect clean plates and cutlery which didn’t happen but even if it happened once halfway through our meals I would have been happy. Overall, after spending over $400 (not including tip), we would not consider this on top of our list of places to return to sadly.

    We had a recommendation to try Perro Negro and it was out of the park perfect. A party of three, we ordered a ton of different dishes to try and loved them all. Favourites were the chicharron, braised pork cheeks and carrots with goat cheese and dill. I also had a lovely Old Fashioned. The servers and hostess were fantastic and nicely attentive. The location is really neat and overall had a really nice vibe. Highly recommend this place for those looking to try some expertly prepared food in a fun atmosphere.

    It is sad that I didn’t discover Perro Negro any earlier despite I walk pass the location often. All the dishes we ordered were delicious and authentic! Service was friendly and perfect. Ambience and decor was simple, clean, rustic old wooden floors, and washroom very clean. Enjoy a quaint feeling being upstairs at the heart of downtown in a historical building. Entrance stairs are steep but there is an elevator if needed but need the to ask the receptionist to let you in through the side door! Enjoy!

    Excellent cocktails, excellent food. A terrific value! I appreciate we can now reserve a table instead of hoping for one as a walk-in.
