About

PERCH by The Nest

PERCH is a pop-up dining experience led by the creative culinary and bar team of The Nest, namely chef Freddy Raoult on the bites and mixologist Michael Chen on the drinks.

The pop-up will run every Thursday to Saturday evening from September 12, until the end of autumn or as long as weather permits.

Dinner will be a 10+ course degustation menu (¥688) with optional beverage pairings (¥288). Maximum seating is 20 people per evening for dinner.

Walk-ins are welcome for a la carte dishes and botanic-forward cocktails and natural wines.

An excerpt from the press release:

PERCH will broadly follow The Nest tradition of Nordic and Russian influences. The Nest’s “Far North country cuisine” also draws inspiration from the “farm-to-table” philosophy, whereby foods from the sea, beach, forests, sky and fields are hand-selected and prepared to highlight their own unique freshness and beauty. With PERCH, Chef Freddy now also has the veritable “garden of eden” of Plump Garden at his fingertips. 

We are also sourcing some special ingredients from China for this pop-up experience—yak, juniper, betel, buffalo milk, Yunnan pigeon, marigold, geranium, and ants (yes, edible ants), to name a few.

Plump Garden

Plump Garden stands as one of the most unique destinations in Shanghai. It is a free-format space for events, guest chef pop-ups, and private events.

Sheltered by pruned hanging gardens and lush edible herbs, the rustic, back-to-roots rooftop garden is an oasis of greenery, one that is truly coveted in this concrete jungle of a city.
