OUR STORY & MISSION

Visit Paladar, Discover Latin American Hospitality...

Our mission is to showcase the best of Latin American food, wine, spirits, cocktails, music, art and hospitality to London at large. Latin America often garners a rather negative image in the news. We want to change perceptions about the region and offer a multi-sensory dining experience showing a quality side of Latin America. We love to surprise our guests with unexpected flavours, sounds and views, and let them leave with a different perspective on the region.

The Inspiration

Our Founder and General Manager, Charles Tyler, was behind the once-groundbreaking creative Malay-Asian restaurant Champor-Champor at London Bridge, and is a longstanding resident of SE1.

When he headed to Latin America in 2013 he was impressed by the quality of the wines and spirits, the delicious local cuisine, the friendly people and the diversity, energy and zest of the region. 

On his return to London, the sensory revelations of Latin America remained vivid and inspirational. 

Charles answered the creative call and Paladar was born.

Management Team

The breadth of the menu and welcoming ambience is reflective of our talented management team:

General Manager, Charles Tyler, is British and has a passion for all things Latin American – especially the wines.

Executive Chef, Jose Rubio-Guevara, is Colombian and honed his skills in New York, Miami and London.

Last, but very much not least, Cedric Gautier is our indefatigable French finance and operations director, who oversees the day-to-day running of the restaurant operations.

What we Offer

We pride ourselves in offering a unique dining experience. We do not represent any one country – rather we represent the spirit of Latin America. Food and drinks are the heart of our operation: From our 100% gluten-free tasty “creative Latin American” sharing plates to our exclusively Latin American wine and spirit lists, you will discover new flavour combinations, forgotten grape varieties, unexpected cocktails and top quality spirits. 

Service is friendly but efficient. Combined with our buzzy ambience and Latin music, many of our guests tell us they feel as if they have stepped out of London for a little holiday.
