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.

    The food here is excellent, with a good variety of tapas options and good selection of drinks. Having a “drink special” designed by the server was a nice addition, as well, adding to the kitschy vibe. It’s a small place, and gets fairly loud as a result, but the overall experience is great. Only less-than-amazing thing I can comment on is how they seat people - their default seems to be to jam everyone in side by side, instead of spacing out the groups and filling in as necessary. No one wants to sit a foot away from strangers when there are open tables elsewhere in the restaurant, but that’s how they seat people. Far too many restaurants do this, unfortunately, so Perro Negro is not alone. On the plus side, they were accommodating when we asked to move, and other tables were asking to move as well, so it did get sorted out. Hopefully, they get the message and start spreading people out a bit better, but it’s something to watch for when visiting. We will definitely be back.

    My wife & I have dined at Perro Negro, and the related Ferris restaurants, several times. We’ve always been delighted by the food, the service, and the care they take in creating a great dining experience. This latest visit was wonderful. I’m so pleased with how well we’ve been taken care of that I’m bringing a group of 10 people, who come from across Canada, back to Perro Negro later this summer.
