La Parada Bar De Tapas first opened its doors in Bree Street – Cape Town’s hottest food strip – as a tribute to the Spanish bars that bewitched Hemingway. La Parada offers tapas born from Spanish heritage but curated for the South African palate.

With an impressive interior, boasting ornate pressed ceilings, a miscellany of chairs and lampshades and an eclectic selection of Spanish tiles, La Parada specialises in sharing small plates that incorporate a Spanish flair and a great vibe. With many patrons popping in for afternoon drinks and a light bite, rather than a sit-down dinner – which is after all the origin of tapas – the drinks list encourages as much experimentation as the menu.

    I was extremely upset with the food quality. I chose your restaurant for an intimate celebration and expected to pay very high prices for the food, thinking that it would be of exceptional quality. The Wagyu starter was an oily mess, and I showed the waitress that all the meat cooked out and was lying underneath the dough. The Plato de Maricos came after an hour and was ice cold. I could've gotten the same portion at Ocean Basket for a third of the price. 4 small prawns and cold fish. If I didn't have a lady with me, I would've made a scene and would've asked for a refund. I am so disappointed, and I don't earn a lot, so to pay that huge amount for something so terrible shocked me.

    We had a wonderful experience at La Parada Irene Village. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was attentive. Most importantly, the food was truly excellent — not only beautifully presented, but full of flavour with every bite.

    Completed booking for 9:30 Sunday morning for Fathers Day. Booking was accepted and confirmation mailed. Upon arrival at 9:30, Was informed they have changed there times and no longer served breakfast and only opened at 11:00. We were almost shunned away and ignored like it was our mistake. Needless to say we were left stranded as all restaurants that where open where fully booked. Highly disappointing

    I had booked a table and called in to confirm. My guest and I arrived only to be told the place is full. It was embarrassing a we had to wait at least 30 minutes to get sorted. On top of that we were very squeezed where we sat.

    Unfortunately our experience was very disappointing from the start. We pre booked a table, nothing was ready when we arrived. The waiting staff seemed lost. The food took 1.5 hours to be served, which is unacceptable especially as the restaurant was nearly empty with only 3 tables occupied. The quality of the food was average at best and overpriced for what it is. Lots of work to be done La Parada if you hope to survive.
