Paladar

Paladar brings a much-needed slice of Latin American colour and cuisine to Elephant and Castle. Both a restaurant and wine shop, it showcases the best of the region, from small-batch spirits to creative sharing plates, in a space that's bright, warm and full of character. Out back, a leafy garden feels like a secret escape, while contemporary Latin art fills the walls inside.

It's proudly queer-led, fully gluten-free and dog-friendly, with staff who know how to make everyone feel welcome. The restaurant is also allergy-aware and accessible, and doubles as a gallery supporting emerging Latin American artists. There's an easy flow to the place, with Latin sounds in the background and a relaxed, neighbourhood energy that makes it feel both inclusive and really part of the community.

The menu pays homage to flavours from across the continent, with dishes like ceviche made with tiger's milk and sweet potato crisps, crispy pork belly arepas and a rich mole poblano with seared duck. Vegetarians are well looked after too, with plates like Peruvian butternut squash quinotto and roast aubergine with black bean salsa. Everything's designed for sharing, making it ideal for group dinners, birthdays, or celebrations in one of the private spaces, from the Chef's Table to the plant-filled conservatory.

The drinks list celebrates Latin America in full, with wines, pisco and mezcal cocktails, plus a few rare finds you can also buy to take home. Service is friendly and relaxed, making Paladar feel both special and unpretentious. It's the kind of place that captures the spirit of Latin America right in the heart of London.
