Our Dining Areas

Enjoy Latin American cuisine in four different environments

We have four distinct dining areas at Paladar. This page gives you an insight into each area, to help you decide what is best for you. Please select the relevant area when booking. Occasionally we may have to close the courtyard garden for operational reasons and seat you indoors. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call or email us. There are also some FAQs at the bottom of this page, which may help.

Main dining room

Paladar’s airy main dining room seats 36–40 guests, with flexible tables, bar seating, and exclusive hire available.

Chef's Table in the Bodega

The Bodega offers semi-private Chef’s Table dining for 8–10 guests, with front-row views of the open kitchen.

Courtyard Garden

The courtyard garden offers sheltered al fresco dining year-round, seating up to 32 guests or 20 at one long table.

Amazon Lounge

The Amazon Lounge is a cosy private dining room for up to 20 guests, ideal for exclusive gatherings and special events.

FAQ Dining Areas

  • 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.

  • If I book a table in the Courtyard Garden and the weather is awful on the day, can I be accommodated indoors?

    Probably, yes, but it depends on how full the rest of the restaurant is. The Garden is moderately weather-proof, but in the event of strong wind or rain we will do our best to accommodate you indoors. We would normally know about this the day before if the forecast looks very bad. 

    Please also note that on some days we may need to close the garden for operational reasons, in which case we will reallocate your table indoors. 

    We do not generally open the garden at all during January and during the colder months we make more limited use of the garden. 

    During a heatwave in the summer if temperatures exceed 28C on a sunny day we also find it can get too hot in the garden during the daytime.

  • Is Paladar suitable for children?

    We welcome children of all ages, especially at lunchtime and early dinner – just let us know if you intend to bring a baby in a stroller/pram, or if you require high chairs for the table. 

    Please note, it can be difficult to take strollers/prams into the garden and the Amazon Lounge. Please also note that the Chef’s Table is higher than our regular tables and seating is on comfortable stools with backs, so we don’t recommend this table for young children.
     

  • 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.

  • We really want to watch the action in the kitchen. Can we join the Chef’s Table if we are just a couple?

    Normally we only offer the Chef’s Table for parties of between six and ten guests. However, if the Chef’s Table is not in use for a party, we can split it into two tables and then we can seat parties of two, three or four on these tables. Feel free to request the Chef’s Table if you are interested in being seated in this area – although there is no guarantee we will be able to fulfil the request.
     

  • Can we smoke or vape in the courtyard garden?

    No, the only area where smoking and vaping is permitted is on the front terrace.

  • Do we have to have the Tasting Menu if we request the Chef’s Table?

    For a special occasion we would recommend the Tasting Menu (with or without the wine pairings) when booking the Chef’s Table. However, if you prefer to order from the daily menu that is absolutely fine. 

    Please note, however, that if you want to  book the Chef’s Table there is a minimum spend (including food, drinks and discretionary service charge) of £600, irrespective of the number of guests on the table.
