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.
The main seating area at Paladar offers airy and spacious accommodation for indoor dining. We offer a variety of table sizes and shapes, with our two circular tables (one for four and one for five/six guests) being particularly popular. There is also a soft-seating area in the entrance, which can be converted into a dining table for up to 8.
The typical seating capacity of the main restaurant is around 36-40 guests, depending on the configuration. We can also seat a few guests on the long, sleek copper bar counter, which is the focal point of the dining room.
We typically accommodate parties of more than eight guests on long tables in the rear portion of the restaurant – for example, we can accommodate 20 guests on two parallel tables of ten.
We can also offer an exclusive hire of the main dining room for parties of 30-40 guests. A minimum spend applies and a deposit is required to secure the entire space.
The Bodega is a semi-private space located right in front of the open kitchen pass, offering guests a front-row view of the action in our theatrical kitchen. Seating here is on high padded stools with backs, arranged around a raised table that accommodates 8–10 guests.
This area is ideal for intimate gatherings or special occasions. While we recommend the Tasting Menu—with or without wine pairings—for groups dining at the Chef’s Table, it’s not a requirement. Guests are welcome to choose from the à la carte menu as well.
There is a minimum spend of £600 for evening bookings at the Chef’s Table, regardless of the number of guests in the party. We’re happy to offer flexibility with this minimum for lunchtime reservations.
To secure the Chef’s Table, we require a £200 credit card guarantee. No charges will be made unless the reservation is not honoured or cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice, in which case a £200 charge would apply.
Our delightful courtyard garden, tucked away behind the main restaurant, is one of our most sought-after dining spaces, offering relaxed “al fresco” seating throughout the year.
The garden is well sheltered, with high surrounding walls and a retractable roof to keep guests dry in case of rain. In summer, sun shades and fans ensure the space stays cool and comfortable, while in the colder months, four powerful infra-red heaters provide ample warmth for a cosy dining experience.
We typically have nine tables in the courtyard, accommodating up to 32 guests depending on the configuration. For larger gatherings, we can seat up to 20 guests around one long table, making it an ideal setting for special celebrations or group bookings.
For parties of more than 20 guests, we generally recommend exclusive hire of the courtyard. A minimum spend applies for exclusive use, and a deposit may be required to confirm the reservation.
The Amazon Lounge is our newest dining space – a cosy, atmospheric den brought to life by a striking 3-D mixed-media installation by Colombian artist Rafael Rosas.
This vibrant room can be reserved for private dining for up to 20 guests, with standing space for welcome drinks and seated dining arranged on two parallel tables of ten. It also features its own private WC, making it an ideal choice for exclusive gatherings.
When not booked for private hire, the Amazon Lounge is available for smaller groups of six to twelve guests, with the room comfortably accommodating two or three separate parties.
We also use the space for a variety of special events, including business meetings, private receptions, wine tastings, and our signature “More than Just a Meal” experience.
A minimum spend applies for exclusive use, and a deposit may be required to secure the room.
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 occasionally (especially during the winter) 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.
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.
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 £500, irrespective of the number of guests on the table.
