Reviews of Paladar

T. S.

What a find! We stubbled across this by chance and it was such a find. Delicious food, great cocktails, nice and friendly service. Recommended!

M. L.

I recommend Paladar for their delicious, well presented (authentic) South American fusion food coupled with delicious and unique cocktails with a twist. The atmosphere was vibrant and takes you out of London with latin music playing in the background set amongst beautiful art work, touches of nature and latin inspired decor. The service was also friendly, efficient and the staff were knowledgeable on the dishes they offered are were able to make good recommendations to us. Finally the price of the food was very reasonable. I will definitely be visiting here again as I would also like to try them out when they have live music at the restaurant.

M. K.

You might pass it by without a second glance. But that would be a mistake. This is a lovely place with attentive staff and a menu that is out of the ordinary. Interesting vegetarian choices, nice selection of Latin dishes served to be shared. We really liked the tuna tostadas and the mole with the chicken skewers was divine. And let's not forget the pisco cocktails! The one dish I would advise against was the steak with arepas. It is just far too expensive for what it is.

N.

Nice Latin American food. The dishes are on the small side so I'd recommend 2 starters and 1 main per person (at least). The best dish by far were the pork belly tacos. Absolutely delicious. The octopus was also good but the portion was way too small (specially for the price). I also really liked the churros.

J.

I have been here three times over the span of three years and it was amazing every time. We had all the vegan dishes and they all were great. Absolutely fantastic was the aubergine with the bean mole - even if you are not vegan, you need to try it. Already looking forward to my next visit.

Y. W.

Was very looking forward to seating in Paladar’s backyard after reading some food reviews - disappointedly the backyard turned out to be too loud to talk to my friends (super loud music +other tables over talking). The dishes are quite creative and all have nice presentation in cute plates. The ingredients they have used are pretty good (from the seafood dishes) but none of the 6 dishes we ordered we thought ‘wow’. Pork Belly Taco was the interesting and tasty one. Cocktails were about 10£ each. Asked for a recommendation for a sweet cocktail, turned out the one made with rum+honey+lime was overly sweet. Party Size: 4 Food: 6 dishes (no sides) Drinks: 2 cocktails + 1 virgin cocktail + 1 wine Price: £120

Absolutely mind blowing food journey .. everything we ate was made with love and skill . The cocktails where gorgeous . Thankfully we live local and have promised to be back . Our waitress Nadia was the best ever and her service was nothing short of excellent . Thank you Paladar we loved our experience here

C. D.

All the food was absolutely fantastic, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. As the entire menu is gluten free, it's also a fantastic place for coeliacs! Our personal favourites were the beef empanadas, pork belly tacos, and the purple corn churros, but you really cant go wrong, and as it comes in small tapas style sharing dishes you can try a bit of everything.

K. W.

A warm and welcoming restaurant that even made flash floods disappear! Great Latin American food - the tuna tostadas are next level - and an exciting cocktail list. Friendly service, a gorgeous covered courtyard, exactly the sort of place you'd be lucky to have in your neighbourhood.

M. T.

Lovely flavours, pleasant surroundings, and friendly service. I had the summer lunch set with my partner and were able to try both meat options. The starters were amazing: a generous amount of pork in a well-balanced lettuce wrap (and this is coming from someone who does not tend to like lettuce wraps), and tender prawns on a equally balanced crisp. The sauces served with the mains were divine, the mole in particular had a deep, rich flavour, and all complimented their dishes wonderfully. Unfortunately, the lamb was very chewy and sinewy, which ruined the dish for me as I was too focussed on chewing rather than tasting. The churros were perhaps my favourite part of the meal. The churros themselves had crisp exteriors but soft interiors and, following from the main, the sauces were gorgeous. In particular, the chocolate sauce had a nice acidity, much unlike the overly sweet sauce you tend to get elsewhere. Overall, the food was great but the lamb stops me from awarding five stars, as a set menu dish it would have been cooked many times before, so I am disappointed that it was so chewy. Regardless, I would definitely try to come again for dinner with a larger group so that we can try all the other dishes.

B. B.

What a gem find this is, not to be missed if you are in the area. There are few other places offering food this high quality. Lovely place with a beautiful garden outside the back. The staff are so friendly and we had great service here. The food also happens to be excellent, it really surpassed my expectations. I will definitely be back. We ordered the sea bass ceviche, the pork belly lettuce tacos, the grilled lamb, the cassava chips and churros for dessert. Just delicious.

M. L.

Camilo and Nadia were absolutely amazing tonight. They checked on us every step of the way, recommended their favourite dishes and drinks and even sang happy birthday to my friend with us when they brought the dessert! The food was also stunning, especially the aubergine with beans paired with the garlic rice which we ordered by mistake and ended up being our favourite dish. The croquettes and the guacamole were also outstanding, and their unique take on cocktails really transports you to Latin America. Plus, their prices are reasonable and totally worth every penny. Thank you so much! 💜 In the picture: the tapioca croquettes and the tuna dish

S. W.

This place is incredible, such a great find. Amazing food and cocktails, staff are lovely and service is perfect. Couldn’t recommend more. Also fantastic offering for those who are gluten free. Such a hidden gem in London!

R.

Had the taster menu and really enjoyed the food. Everything was cooked well and delicious and the service was good. It only drops a star because of the large service charge that was automatically added to the bill, which I would rather have been asked about before paying as we'd had too many drinks to notice the bill in detail.

J. T.

Just when we thought we were running out of good local places to eat we found this lovely pan- Latino foodery! Delicious flavours to the food and a great range of typical Latin American cocktails! Would definitely recommend paying a visit!

H. B.

Ridiculously good food and service. 4.7* is not an exaggeration. We visited Paladar following our Colombian friends’ recommendation. Everything was impressive. Churros were incredible. Loved the tuna, prawns, aubergine, chicken skewers, croquettes. Really strong flavours 🤩 Definitely a top find in london & we cant wait to go back.

h. m.

I can not recommend these guys enough! We held a baby shower here with 18 people and they provided the courtyard and some of the BEST food and service I have ever had. Just to reiterate, the food was just soo delicious and I could not get over how good the service was. I want to go back for every event! I am trying to convince my friends to hold their wedding here! Thankyou to all the Paladar staff for such an amazing lunch

A. T.

First visit to Paladar...the food was simply amazing! It was a 'palate opener'...beautiful ambience, amazing smooth service throughout. Friendly and helpful team there and most of all...i simply cannot resist any of the dishes being served. Well done Paladar team..

F. “. R.

I love this place. It'll make you feel as if you where in a trip through Latin America with its vibrant colours and music. The dish I had is called Cochinita (mexican pulled pork) and I couldn't reccomend more. One of my favourite spots in London.

H. F.

Great food, super friendly staff, lively venue (good outdoors). And if you’re Coeliac/gluten intolerant, the entire menu is safe for you 👍 Recommend!

D. D.

Amazing food with a lovely vibe and ambience. Really reccomend the aubergine and the pork tacos. Great place for birthdays and the staff were accommodating and helpful, especially Nadia. There is also art for sale on the walls, which creates a lovely community vibe of supporting local creatives too Lovely cocktails - best I've had in a while. With fresh edible fruit in them. Definitely going again.

L. D.

Best food I have had in so long! We were totally blown away. Plus it was marvellous that there was loads of vegan options and the whole menu gluten free!

S. T.

Amazing food, great flavour combinations and a seasonal Latin menu. Really recommend checking this place out! We went for lunch and cocktails and ordered the pork belly lettuce tacos, tapioca, tuna and steak dishes. Everything was an absolute knock out. The Mezcalita cocktail was a really amazing! Compliments to the chef and the staff who were so nice and accommodating with my food intolerances, which are usually quite a challenge. Incidentally, this potato dish was the best I’ve ever tasted… which is saying something, being a Brit! We’ll definitely be back!

m. p.

This restaurant is outstanding. Never mind the fact that the entire menus is gluten free, it would still be outstanding. My daughter is 15 years old and coeliac. We have travelled a lot over the years in Europe and Asia. This is the first time we ever experienced a 100% gluten free restaurant. It’s very important to note that this is not a restaurant trying to be gluten free and compromising. This is a restaurant that could compete with any world class restaurant and also happens to be entirely gluten free. Everything was exceptional but I have to call out the Tuna Tostadas, they were sublime. This is a restaurant for anyone who loves food, people (great staff) and an experience to cherish.

K. P.

We found the place by an accident but I would be delighted to come back again. Friendly and attentive service, vibrant, colourful and delicious food. Roasted aubergine dish and tuna tostada were amazing. Even simple lettuce was transformed to something werey special.

H. P.

A beautiful restaurant full of beautiful food. The reason that it not 5 stars is that plantain chips are very salty and I think some of the plates are not value for money, but everything is else is positive. The place is decorated with stunning art pieces, the staff are friendly and attentive. It is advised to have 5-6 plates for 2 people. My personal favourite plate is the Tuna Tostadas.

C. S.

Loved this place. Food was amazing and such a high quality. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff were great, not rushed, the meal lasted for 4h, and the food and drink kept arriving, even lots of great stuff we didn't even order. Everything was gluten free and tasted really authentic. Would highly recommend

K. M.

Had a gig to attend nearby and didn't know the area at all, so took a punt based on other reviews online and so pleased to have found Paladar! Initially was nervous as only tables were available in the heated terrace area, but we got lucky and sat right underneath a heater so it was warm all evening despite the storm raging outside. We ordered cautiously, unaware of portion sizes and quickly added several dishes as everything was so delicious. The mezcal cocktails were super and the selection of South America wines was impressive (we had a lovely Gruner Veltliner from Argentina)

P. C.

I love Paladar :) I first visited in the early days of lockdown because I saw they had drinks available for takeaway. The staff were so warm and friendly it convinced us to come back for food (and the menu sounded incredible!) We booked for dinner a week in advance and had zero problems with the booking. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and seated straight away. The staff were really nice, keeping our water topped up, asking if we wanted more drinks etc. The perfect amount of attentive :) The decor is really cool! I love the eclectic paintings and the music. Gives a nice, buzzy vibe without being overpowering. And of course the food is superb. Between two of us we had 7 dishes and two desserts. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavoursome, and the presentation is beautiful. We left full and happy :) the drinks selection is also excellent; I had a Pilsener and my friend got a glass of wine. Next time we'll try the cocktails; they looked delicious! For how good the service and food is I feel we paid a very fair price. We're looking forward to returning!

M. C. D.

Absolutely fantastic experience! Took my in-laws here and one of them is celiac so the menu was pure heaven. All of the food arrived promptly, the portions were very good and it tasted fantastic (particularly the cassava chips, empanadas and the conchinita pibil) Really good wine and cocktails to go with them and the Mezcal trio at the end was my boyfriend's highlight! We will definitely return and recommend to all our friends.

M. T.

We were excited for our dinner but in the end found it hard to like the food we had. Appreciate the amuse bouche complementary from the chef. The tapioca and cheese croquets were good. Everything else seem to be slightly underwhelming and missed the spot. Crispy pork belly was rather dry and chewy than crispy. Our jaw was sore after finishing it. Seared prawn lacked flavour. The grilled lettuce heart, roast aubergine, cassava chip were average. We also had the Casa Lapostolle, Le Rouge wine which was slightly expensive. The outdoor garden seating was nice.

M. S.

Great food, great service! Lovely Nadia was very helpful with the menu. All their food is gluten free!

B. R. W.

So disappointed after reading good reviews and wanted to come here as we live locally. The service was really bad. The restaurant was empty but we had to wait almost 10 mins to be seated. After we got the food the staffs never checked on us if we want anything else. Food tastes good but crispy pork was too dry and hard like it’d been reheated many times. Additional info about service: We didn’t have a reservation on that day and understand if they don’t take walk in customer. There were 2 tables of customers inside the restaurant so there were space for us. But We were waiting for awhile to be seated, not few minutes, I was thinking about to leave actually. The staff wasn’t nice at all, barely conversation with us. He forgot one of our drink, we had to asked again. I asked for tap water, he gave me only 1/4 glass and never asked us if we wanted anything else or everything was fine. We had to asked twice for a box to takeaway our left over food as they all disappeared after we asked for the 1st time. Hope this was not your standard service

V. R.

Nice food, great staff. Went in a larger group for lunch and we had a mix of things. Couldn't really fault any dish, we really enjoyed them, but the highlights were the octopus and the confit pork. Service was quick and fun, helped by the fact that it wasn't too busy. 2 portions per person seems about right if you pick well, as some dishes were quite small (but priced accordingly).

S. Z.

We've been here before for the Chef's table and today we were back for a delightful lunch - one of the most enjoyable ones since the pandemic. The staff here are always so friendly and helpful. And the food is just amazing and full of flavours - both the meat dishes and the vegetable dishes. Our all time favourite is the crispy pork belly tacos - the skin is crispy while the fat layer is sticky - just the perfect combo. We enjoyed it so much we didn't think of taking a photo before it was all gone.

L. P.

Really good food a drinks. We particularly liked the aubergine and the cheese + tapioca croquettes. Something a bit different. Definitely recommend.

L. F.

I absolutely love the food here. The service was outstanding and they have a great latino vibe. We were a group of 8 people, we had sharing platters and we were stuffed by the end of the evening. The combination of ingredients is superb and mouth-watering just thinking about it. I would highly recommend it.

V. M. E.

Nice food. The decor could be better but really liked the art around the restaurant. My boyfriend kept on talking about the great flavours of the food here so we went to try it but i don't see the hype about this place. Standard overall.

P. P.

My sister and I came here for the first time last Thursday. They seated us immediately and explained how the menu worked - it was recommended 2/3 plates per person and family style sharing. All the dishes we tried had a uniquely different & exquisite taste, and they were presented beautifully. The tuna tostadas were my absolute favourite and I could happily eat them all day every day. The margaritas were real tasty too! They kindly made a substitution for dessert to accommodate a dietary requirement I had, no questions asked. Perfect. Great service to accompany the great food. We will definitely be coming back again!

K. B.

Excellent food: presentation and flavours. Lovely decor and staff are super efficient and friendly! My new fave!

D. G.

Third or fourth time back here, never fails to impress, we were lucky to sit in the Bodega today so could see the Chefs cooking, the food is delicious, great portions, it's just so difficult not to order everything, you must have the plantain chips and guacamole. So, as well as great food, the staff match it, great, friendly staff would always make me return to a restaurant, so I'll see you soon, thank you x

E. C.

Delicious Latin American food with a twist. Everything in the menu was delicious (I wish I could have tried everything!. The staff were very friendly and the outdoor space is beautiful. I would recommend and will be back very soon!

A. P.

I was surprised by how flavorful and plentiful the dishes were here. The pork belly tacos came stuffed and the pork was so crispy, juicy and delicious. I wish their pisco sour was bigger because I could 4 of those, and they were pricey. Really worth it though and highly recommend.

J. M.

South American style tapas tucked away in an unpromising corner of South East London. Bold and bright flavours beautifully presented by lovely people. The tiny courtyard on a sunny day was as close as I've got to a holiday feeling for a long time.

L. H.

Superb food and 100% gluten free which was the icing on the cake for us. The menu is exceptional, the quality of the food top notch and a great drinks menu too. A must visit!

D. B.

Paladar is a true hidden gem. Some of the best food I’ve had in London. With very short notice, the Paladar staff did their best to sit my group for dinner. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff treated us so well and it was just a lovely all round experience. I recommend the crispy pork belly lettuce tacos, the tuna tostadas and quinoa fritters!

S. g.

Amazing food, all gluten free and delicious! I’ll definitely be back!

R. N.

I took my partner here for our anniversary and he loved it. The food is small plates tapas style. lovely service and atmosphere. Lots of varying ingredients and flavours. The seafood was a lot better, especially the cerviche with lemon grass and passion fruit! The meats were a little on the touch and chewy side. There presentation of the food was beautiful. Cocktails were lovely even the non-alcoholic options.

H. D.

Really enjoyed my lunch at Paladar. Food was amazing and staff were really friendly and accommodating (considering we had to downsize out booking quite significantly). Definitely recommend!

A. C.

Absolutely amazing food, cooked to perfection. The flavours were superb and honestly could not fault a single dish. Great service too - friendly and attentive. Worthy of a Michelin star!

E. K.

Had a quick bite and a glass of wine at the bar today - will return for proper dinner! Amazing atmosphere, pleasant ambience, lovely personnel, tasty food and good wine - all I need for perfect evening! Now I have also dined here and it was amazing! Highly recommend!

Y. M.

Really good Latin American food! Saw the reviews and thought I’d give it a try and was not disappointed! The chicken skewers would have been better if they used chicken thigh instead of chicken breast but it was only when compared to the other great dishes that it wasn’t as good. Really enjoyed the belly pork, palm heart and the trout. Would come back again for sure!

T.

I really wanted to love this place but unfortunately a few mishaps. First, the cocktails are wonderful and the food is very nice but it is very sweet and I couldn't eat anymore by the last course as it was so sweet. We booked weeks in advance for a 30th birthday and were placed directly by the toilet! The worst seats in any restaurant surely. We'd also specified we'd love to enjoy the tasting menu on the booking, but were told on arrival they were out of steak so the dish would be replaced by chicken skewers and one of the dishes required a different sauce. They did provide us a glass of Prosecco on the house as an apology, which was a nice gesture but disappointing nonetheless. Portions are small as people said but that suits me personally. We had to chase a couple of times for cocktails and dishes were slow to arrive. Service was very polite but on the whole as a special occasion we were left a bit deflated for our friends birthday. I'd try the a la carte menu to see if better next time.

A. F.

Excellent service. Delicious food. Perfect flavour combinations, great presentation. Delicious drinks too. Attention to detail really great. Would definitely visit again

S. A.

I took my team here for the two course lunch and was pretty much my first introduction to South American food. Lovely food as we sat out in the courtyard with really friendly staff who explained the dishes well. We were stuffed at the end of it and would definitely come back again.

V. V.

Very delicious Latin-American restaurant

N.

Food uninspiring, nothing special for the price you pay.

L. W.

friendly staff, lovely food and drink, certified gluten free. what more can you ask for? I had a great experience of a range of latin foods.

S. I.

Fantastic cocktails and the best Latin American Style Tapas that I've ever had! We came here originally because it had a completely gluten free menu, but I was blown away by the taste of every dish. The place has a chilled bar vibe that's good for small groups or dates and is conveniently near Waterloo Station. We were recommended 2-3 dishes per person and had 12 between 4 and were stuffed by the end. The price was also reasonable at approx. 40 pound a head (including two alcoholic/cocktails each). I can't recommend this place enough.

F. T.

Wonderful meal and really nice atmosphere. And as a plus (for me), the whole menu is gluten free! Service was really friendly, and the food, for the most part, was delicious. Three of us ordered three starters, three main, and three desserts to share. The fried plantains were really crispy and nice, but the accompanying guacamole was a tad too sour. The croquetas were amazing! The empanadas were ok, they could have had a bit more filling, which was good. As for the mains, we ordered the eggplant, which was one of the best vegetarian dishes I've had in a long time. Carnitas with tortillas, where every component was great. We also ordered the Colombian special, Bandeja Paisa, which wasn't as good as the others. The various components of that dish didn't really feel like they went well together. Finally for dessert, we had the banana and chocolate bread pudding. It was good, but not sure where the chocolate was exactly. However, the smoked cinnamon ice cream that came with us was great. It was just the right amount of smoke. We also got the purple corn churros, which were the most delicious churros I've head. They suggested a dessert wine pairing for the dessert, but the wine didn't really work well at all. All in all, I am definitely going there again and taking guests with me.

M. J.

Absolutely great time here, goes without saying THE friendliest staff, the owner was very kind in listening to some dietary requirements and recommending drinks. Food was delicious, the tuna and the conchinita were out of this world. I can't recommend enough, if you are celebrating this the place to be for an intimate meal hidden away from central London.

C. H.

I almost don't want to leave a review as want to keep this place a hidden gem, but it deserves all the success it can get! I have been twice in past few months and it has been a delight both visits. Delicious food, innovative cocktails, great service, lovely atmosphere and the secret courtyard garden tops it. As a latina I have eaten lots of variations on Latin American food and I love their non-traditional take on familiar dishes. Just wonderful!

K. “. L.

Been meaning to try this local place so met a friend here for lunch few weeks ago. We ordered the lunch menu which was a very good deal. These dishes had really surprised me. They were very tasty. Loved the churros and was certainly surprised that they’re made from purple corn, didn’t know they existed. The waitress was very friendly and informative and that’s how l found out that the restaurant is ‘gluten’ free so super good for me! The only thing l didn’t quite enjoy was the arepes that I thought was quite hard. I would definitely return and highly recommend this place.

N. J.

For burgers we always get them from this place, really delicious and fries are amazing as well. Most of times we use delivery service and it's been great so far, lovely staff as well.

P. H.

Loved my experience here. Little hidden gem, friendly service and high quality food. Would recommend !

J. D.

Outstanding experience! The food is impeccably balanced in flavors and details. A must have when in London. The octopus and the pork belly to die for. And last but not least, the service is warm, exquisite and make you feel like you are family.

A. K.

Excellent! Highly recommend the tapioca croquettes, which I can describe as delicate - unique - inspired. The other menu items are similarly flavourful and like nothing I can replicate in my home kitchen. Great experience with the staff as well. A colourful and romantic Latin atmosphere.

L. P.

10/10 amazing food definitely give the churros a try if you can 😋

P. T.

Staff very helpful as you decide which dishes to combine to create an interesting and tasty meal. Plantain crisps with avocado dip is not to be missed.

T. C.

We had the conchinita pibil, the prawn dish and the grilled steak. The food was absolutely incredible. Cocktails were unique and delicious!

K. D.

Really delicious food,nice atmosphere friendly staff! Portions are not huge so you can spend quite a bit but was worth it :)

p. c.

Was on my own as working away from home and passed this restaurant for quite some time when it was closed due to lockdown. Finally able to pop in and it was so good! Ancient loved the food and can’t wait to go back. They were friendly and welcoming too.

L. T.

The food here is just delicious and the atmosphere is great as well with wonderful service. Don't miss out on the tuna or aubergine dishes!

A. H.

A completely gluten free restaurant! I had one of basically everything on the menu, and it was all fantastic. Highly recommend the Tuna and the plantain with cheese. Just wish I'd left a bit more room for some more churros.

a. t.

Quite possibly the best restaurant I have ever been to. The food was excellent and the service was even better. Cannot recommend enough. I would like to keep this place a secret for myself but its only fair to share how amazing this little gem of an establishment is.

S. Z.

Excellent Latin American sharing platter type food! Wine was very good as well, and the service was warm, friendly and impeccable. Very nice place to have a dinner if you're local to the area.

B. P.

The food is awesome, wine selection a must try, the service is more then just a smile. Great place, great people and a must visit

E. F.

Absolutely lovely place - top quality food and lively ambience! The waiters were very welcoming and accommodating.

m. a.

The servers were very passionate and in a great manner. The food is delicious with levels of tastes. I do recommend this place.

A. M.

Great spot for gluten free/coeliacs like myself! Food was exquisite with great staff who cared a lot about their customers’ experience!

d. k.

Food here was amazing! Everything we had was 10/10 delicious. Plus the entire menu is gluten free!! They even have gluten free churros! My partner (who isn't gluten free) was raving about how good the food is too. The cocktails were great too, and the management knew the menu well and were attentive to our needs.

A. M.

We chose Paladar for a relaxed early Sunday lunch - 3 omnivore friends, one of whom is coeliac and doesn't eat cheese. Such a nice experience not to have to worry about cross contamination or the expertise of the staff. We chose the deep fried hominy, roast aubergine, tuna tostadas and lamb anticuchos. Beautifully presented and nicely cooked, great pops of flavour and nicely paced service. We chose not to drink alcohol midday, but apple and chicha morada virgin cocktails more than compensated. We were pleasantly full, but opted to share purple corn churros and a soursop mousse trifle, and they did not disappoint! Friendly service and a nice covered yard which was cooled and warmed to suit. Will be back.

H. W.

Absolutely stunning food and service. Nothing to improve!

A. M.

Flavour sensation and trendy vibe. The prawn dish was lovely and go a green dish and try the lettuce. Service a little abrupt. Awesome wine list. Not very happy that they brought an extra sparkling water and poured without asking and then charged us.

A.

Food was excellent. If the prices were lower, it would become our regular local eatery. Dishes are quite small. Definitely £££ 3 Chicken skewers £17.50 Single octopus tentacle £19.50 (pix below)

E. L. G.

Paladar is a vibrant Latin Amercian Restaurant in London, just a short stroll from Elephant & Castle. The celebration and love of Latin American flavours means there are some wonderful flavour combinations paired with great quality ingredients. Make sure you get the Purple corn churros with chocolate and ancho chili sauce and coffee dulce de leche!

X. Z.

The food is very delicious with great presentation. They are also flexible allowing yake away for some dishes that are normally not to be taken away. Very Happy

S.

Everything about this place is excellent. The service was friendly and informative, the food was interesting and delicious, there's a beautiful outside area and the decor is great and well maintained. It's a little off the beaten track for me but it wouldn't stop me gong back

D. F.

Amazing food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. I’d highly recommend it. Definitely try the pulled pork tacos. They are superb

E.

I had a lovely lunch here. The courtyard was sunny and the food was great. Really good quality food and great service too

T.

Amazing genuine food at a great price. The strong clash of flavours worked so well. Highly recommend!

This little gem was hidden right under my nose for two whole years! One day, while looking for something different to eat, I walked into Paladar! The minute I walked through the doors, I knew I'd return. The food was delicious, clean, and superbly cooked, giving it a home made look and taste. The restaurant is nice and cozy, and the staff ever so professional and attentive! I had the privilege of an accidental customised service, as the manager was in the middle of deciding to trial out a drinks menu, I was lucky enough to try something new that's not officially on the menu! That right there, makes you feel like a star. I had every intention of dining here again, but with that standard of service right there, one has to return to a place like that! #Paladar

R. M.

One of the best restaurants you'll find in London, especially for the price. Service was absolutely immaculate, food (my parents and I had a lot of sharing platters) varied from good to spectacular and the wine menu was terrific. Honestly could not recommend more - hence why I'm bothering with a review!

A. S.

Beautiful South American food experience. Great atmosphere and the staff is very kind and helpful. Can't wait to go back back next time.

E. H. G.

The food was delicious and the menu was completely gluten free. Really nice place with good decorations. The staff was super friendly.

S. T.

What an amazing experience - probably my favourite meal so far in London. Our server Yalain was really friendly and accommodating, and made some great recommendations. The food and drink are divine: I especially loved the Black Beef and the Aubergine. Every dish is fresh and has a unique flavour profile. The carnitas and the octopus (both pictured) were both a hit! Plus they organised a banana chocolate cake for my wife's birthday - very sweet of them! I can't wait to go back!

J. D.

Varied and interesting menu. Staff helpful at giving info about food. Good and reasonably priced wines. A good find in an unpromising location

A. B.

Delicious food, great ambiance, and terrific customer service. We came for a Sunday brunch and were lucky that they had the opening of their latest art exhibition at the same time. We had the courtyard almost completely to ourselves but got to hear the live music from the main room. The food is tapas style and everything tasty and wonderfully presented. We loved all the dishes but have a special place in our hearts for the gluten free churros that we shared for dessert. Divine!

v. b.

Great food and lovely staff. In particular the cassava chips with Chipotle mayo and the crispy plantains on the quinoto were excellent.

The staff went above and beyond to help us. They even offered to move my pregnant wife to a lower seated table and gave her a cushion to seat on. The food was truly amazing, the cocktails very enjoyable. Overall, an amazing experience, would love to go back.

What an amazing place the Paladar is! Quality of food is second to none and the service outstanding. We were impressed by the wine advice give to us too. Somehow our longwinded and confusing descriptions made perfect sense to the waiter. It all went together beautifully. It’s worth mentioning that the restaurant was very clean incl. the toilets. If the weather was better we would probably sit in the lovely garden. Next time 😉 Thank you

Delicious food, amazing customer service , great place.... Highly recommended We booked in advance for dinner on a Saturday... We were greatly welcomed and as the weather allowed we sat on the open patio.. The food selection is good, and there is something for everyone, i had a vegetarian dish, aubergine with black beans as it drew my attention and out waitress, the most enthusiastic and lovely lady, suggested to have rice with it... Gosh it was amazing... We all loved our starters, mains and desserts... Great presentation full of flavour, win win Not overpriced either We are planning to come back with more friends to they can enjoy a bit of south American cuisine Will absolutely recommend...
