Paladar Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "High quality food. The dishes are carefully made to bring your sensorial taste to another level."
• "The food was fantastic. It offers a variety of latin american dishes, and the dishes we had were super delicious."
• "My favorites were the plantain crisps and the grilled lamb cutlets and chicken. The were meat dishes were cooked to perfection."
• "Really delicious food with super friendly staff and service. The food as they say is creative and refreshing."

• "The dishes are quite creative and all have nice presentation in cute plates."
• "Food presentation was tops. And taste was good."
• "The food is flavourful, hearty without being heavy or greasy and the atmosphere was lovely."

Cons:

• "The portions!! This is a point that brings my review to 3 stars. How is it possible that after spending £120 you still feel hungry?"
• "Portions are on the smaller size, order a few things or it won’t be enough food. Food was good but not outstanding."
• "Only reservations I have are that even for central London, the prices are very steep. For these prices I would expect to be wowed rather than just content/happy with my meal."
• "I agree that some dishes, the price to portion size should be better, especially if it's for sharing."
• "The only reason I gave it 4 starts instead of 5 was the because of the price. Dont get me wrong - super high quality food, but for the amount of food you get, you'll either have to buy more food later on, leave not full."
• "The photo shows what our table ordered and each dish was almost 20pounds, plus a round of water was 3pounds as well."
• "The food came out lukewarm. When it eventually came out it was salty."
• "I was not impressed by this place. The food was salty."

Atmosphere and Ambience

Pros:

• "Cozy atmosphere with great selection of Latin music."
• "Wine selection is nice. Ambiance is great. Hospitality is top notch."
• "Really nice restaurant, friendly staff, and great selection of drinks and great food for any taste palette, a bit pricey but you get why when you try the food."
• "Great place! The outdoor terrace looks amazing with all the little lights and hanging plants, and it's warm even on a windy and grey day."
• "Good place for dinner with friends or for a date. Quick service and great atmosphere."
• "Great friendly service in a relaxed atmosphere. We’ll be back!"
• "Fantastic food, lovely interior and very friendly service. When you are inside this place, it makes you feel you been on a little holiday to Latin America."
• "The service here was lovely and the waitress was very helpful and kind. The food was super tasty as well."

Cons:

• "The service was okay but very rushed. The food was just really not good at all. We were a group of 6 but no one was thrilled. Unfortunately, it was also very expensive."
• "The service was quite nice, and the food is not inedible which is why I’m giving it a 2 and not a 1. I would have given a 3 if it wasn’t severely overpriced for what you get."
• "Our most recent trip was disappointing. Our second time did not live up to the first. The vibe was very odd, like we were being watched and we felt rather uncomfortable."
• "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."
• "Absolutely shocking service. Our reserved table was given away even though we arrived on time, we then waited 20 minutes to be given a table, our order was taken but took 2 hours to give us only our drinks, after 3 hours they told us our food hadn't been cooked due to another big table, we paid the drinks and left hungry and dissapointed."
• "The service was okay but very rushed. The food was just really not good at all. We were a group of 6 but no one was thrilled. Unfortunately, it was also very expensive."
