  • Is there a ‘dress code’ at Paladar?

    Smart casual or casual are both fine, but if you want to dress to impress for a special occasion go for it!
     

  • Is Paladar wheelchair accessible?

    There are two steps up from the street to enter the restaurant – one from the pavement to the front terrace and one more step up into the restaurant at the front door. We have ramps, so it would be helpful if you could let us know before arriving if you will need these. We will always help wherever possible. Once inside the main dining room we have a fully accessible WC.

    Please note: there are five steps down into our courtyard garden, so this area is not easily accessible. The Amazon Lounge is also not accessible to wheelchair users.

  • Is Paladar really 100% gluten-free?

    Yes, our kitchen is dedicated gluten-free. The flours we use are mainly made from corn (maize) or cassava. We do not use wheat, barley, rye or other grains that contain gluten in our kitchen. We also do not use oats.

    From the bar most drinks are gluten-free. We normally have at least one gluten-free beer and our Mexican whiskey is made from corn (maize).

  • Can we just drop in at Paladar for cocktails or a glass of wine?

    We have a restaurant licence (not a pub/bar licence) so we are not allowed to sell alcohol for consumption on the premises without some food. Generally, we offer full meals, but subject to availability, we may be able to offer you a glass of wine or a cocktail with some nibbles or desserts.

  • Are you dog friendly? Can we bring our dog to Paladar?

    Yes, we are very dog friendly! 

    Well-behaved and moderately-sized pooches are welcome to join you for lunch or dinner – particularly if you are seated in the garden. 

    Please let us know when booking that you would like to bring your four-legged companion; we generally don’t allow more than two or three dogs in the restaurant at the same time.

    Although we love dogs, we don’t recommend bringing large dogs on busy evenings. Please check with us if you plan to bring a large (Labrador-size or larger) dog.

  • What forms of payment do you accept?

    Paladar is a cashless venue. Payment is normally only made by debit or credit cards, Apple Pay or Android Pay etc. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express (Amex) and most of the leading Western card payment types. However, we do not accept Diners card.

    Unless in exceptional circumstances, we no longer accept payment in cash (although you are welcome to tip your server in cash if you wish). We also do not accept Bitcoin or other crypto currencies.

    For payment of deposits for group bookings, pre-ordered canapes or pre-paid group events we prefer a direct transfer to our bank account, details of which will be provided.

    Yes, we have a new Brunch menu on Sunday lunchtime and “Tasting Menu Tuesdays” where we offer 20% off Chef Jose’s Tasting Menus (with or without wine pairings). We also have lunchtime and early dinner (pre-theatre) set menus. 

    For drinks we have discounts on premium wines at certain times and our “La Hora Loca” Happy hour on weekdays between 4.45pm and 5.45pm. We also offer special drink packages for groups.

    Full details are available on our Special Offers web page.
     

  • Do you have live music in the restaurant?

    We occasionally have live music for special events, but we do not have live music in the restaurant on a regular basis.

    If you are arranging a private party and would like to have live music please let us know, as we have several Latin American musicians that we particularly recommend.
