The more the merrier

Sharing is the essence of tapas - it is a communal dining experience and is best enjoyed with multiple people. Whether it’s family or friends celebrating a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or simply catching up, the warm, family-friendly atmosphere and plentiful seating will ensure an unforgetting evening.

Order a variety

One of the joys of tapas is being able to enjoy a little bit of everything, so ordering a variety of dishes is a must. Three dishes are recommended per person and the generous portions will ensure everyone can sample a mix of traditional and more adventurous options. Try combining different textures and flavours to get the full experience – the team is happy to accommodate any dietary requirements.

Explore recommendations

Don’t hesitate to ask the team at La Parrilla for their recommendations - they can guide you through the menu based on your personal preferences. Popular options include Mejillones Picante - mussels in a creamy garlic sauce; Calamares Fritos - lightly battered calamari; Chuletas de Cordero - grilled marinated lamb chops, and Champiñones al Ajillov - creamy garlic and chilli mushrooms, among many others. The homemade bread is a perfect pairing to soak up any left over sauces.

Don’t skip dessert

La Parrilla offers a delightful dessert menu which is too good to miss out on. Indulge in the Torta di Lemon cheesecake, Tiramisu, Crème Brûlée, or classic Madagascan vanilla ice-cream topped with fresh strawberries to cleanse the palette. Alternatively you can enjoy some late-night coffee culture as in true Mediterranean fashion.
