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.

    We waited for over 3 hours just to get our main meals. Starters and drinks took over an hour to arrive. We hardly got any assistance when we complained to our waiter. 0/10

    The waiters were too busy, we had to keep looking for them to place orders. At some point we even freed our table by moving dirty plates to a free table because there was no one to clean. Our starter were brought at the same time with main dishes🤦🏽‍♀️

    Though the service was good, the waiters are friendly, the food was a let down. We ordered the Caesar salad which was too salty and Harissa Chicken salad was not what it said ut was on the menu. 🫤
