Paladar Latin Kitchen & Rum Bar

Really good Latin American food! Saw the reviews and thought I’d give it a try and was not disappointed! The chicken skewers would have been better if they used chicken thigh instead of chicken breast but it was only when compared to the other great dishes that it wasn’t as good. Really enjoyed the belly pork, palm heart and the trout. Would come back again for sure!

Laidback place with rather spartan interiors. Focus is on the food, very well-cooked food. Best were the very very good starters, or nibbles as they’re called. Next visit is likely to be “tapas style”, nibbles all the way! Well made cocktails and nice wines as well. Definitely coming back for more!

Update on 15 May: The owner kindly provided complimentary dishes, a bottle of wine, and a profuse apology, based on my flagging my experience in my original review. To reflect the is outreach, and because the food is genuinely quite good, I have bumped up the rating from one to three stars, and will definitely visit them in person once restaurants have re-opened.I had food ordered from them last Friday on their post-lockdown reopening. I appreciate that there were unforeseen hitches but I ordered my food at 5.25 and received it 2 and a half hours later, with no real apology or suitable explanation. The food itself was decent, but the lack of communication and remorse from the restaurant means that I will not be giving them another chance. I would give zero stars if I could.
