Parilla And Grill

I went for a Friday afternoon lunch and drinks to Parilla a couple of months back and the atmosphere was amazing.I loved the food and drinks and it has a great vibe to start off the weekend.The staff, including the manager and owner were so friendly it made my visit so pleasant that I will be going back.

Excellent food, great vibe and fantastic service ! Theo and his team are amazing!  Well worth the visit.  Try the prawn pops absolutely delish!

Celebrated my mother’s birthday at Parrilla Bar and Grill. We ordered from the Tapas menu the ribs, halloumi and Mexican corn. The mains ordered were the oxtail with rice and chicken with ribs platter (half and half with a side salad. The food was a great portion for the Tapas and the Mains. I really liked how quickly the food came out to the table. As soon as the Tapas were done the Mains were brought to the table. The Tapas were lovely. I would have preferred that’s some of the food be more seasoned and have fuller flavours like the Tapas beef ribs and the pork ribs. The oxtail fell off the bone and was juicy. The side salad tasted amazing. My type of salad : The decor in the space is minimal but cool. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The menu is affordable and you still get your money’s worth. I would definitely go back to taste other dishes on their menu.

Dion and I were invited to visit Parrilla Bar and Grill on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I was in the mood for a spot of live music, and Soul Picnic was just the thing after a bit of Facebook stalking.<br/ <br/ We enjoyed the following from the Tapas Menu.<br/ <br/ BABA GANOUSH DIP toasted pine nuts, pomegranates pita bread<br/ <br/ The husband was not sold on this dish, even with the fancy name. I may have mentioned chickpeas and vegetarian in passing. Must have reminded my husband of going Green and we are not quite that politically correct as yet.<br/ <br/ This dish was, however, my favourite on the Tapas menu. Loved the texture definition between the dip and pine nuts. The addition of the acidity of the pomegranate with its impressive nutrient profile was a win for me. Served with soft, fresh baby pita bread (delivered fresh daily, not baked on site) to scoop up the delight.<br/ <br/ SPICY PRAWNS THAI DIPPING SAUCE<br/ <br/ I should have paid closer attention to what exactly we were ordering instead of losing myself in singing along to Soul Picnic, as I would usually shy away from the word 'spicy '. A lover of Prawns I dashed in there but was very quickly aware of the spicy bits. Not my dream dish but it looked so pretty!<br/ <br/ Dion was quite keen on the Spicy Prawns, and the Thai sauce received a good dipping. #nice (Insert Borat voice here)<br/ <br/ TEMPURA KINGKLIP POPS sticky Asian dressing, lime crema spring onion<br/ <br/ This Japenese dish was devoured by us both. The sticky Asian dressing was the kind you wanted to dip your finger into the bowl just to make sure you get every last drop.<br/ <br/ The Kingklip was cooked beautifully and the lime cream and spring onion was the perfect companion. Highly recommend them Pops!<br/ <br/ CRISPY WINGS sticky sriracha glaze toasted sesame seeds<br/ <br/ You too have the Google. Use it if you do not know what a word means. I should have looked up the word 'Sriracha '. Google says is a type of hot sauce or chilli sauce made from a paste of chilli peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. ... and I thought the word spicy meant living on the edge!<br/ <br/ Even Dion found the wings a bit on the hot side, yet they appeared to have great appeal and he finished them. I had one so I could burn for not using the Google.<br/ <br/ BEEF RIBS ginger soy dressing<br/ <br/ Tasty, full of flavour but lacked the tenderness Dion expected. I too was not overly impressed or amazed, yet it was good. So average.<br/ <br/ ROASTED BONE MARROW bone marrow butter sourdough toast<br/ <br/ I loved the toast because yay carbs but I am not a great bone marrow lover so this was for Dion to enjoy. His feedback was that it was tasty, scrumptious, loved the presentation and was exactly what he had been craving. Up there with the best he had ever had. Winner!<br/ <br/ Parrilla provided a relaxing afternoon exploring great food and listening to chilled music.<br/ <br/ The dining area is separate from the bar area which appealed to me as sport was entertaining the bar guests and a session of live music was heaven in the dining area. The same menu is available in the bar area if that is your jam BTW!<br/ <br/ If you looking for a quiet romantic spot I would avoid Friday nights which I 've heard is a bit of a party night but as for the rest of the time, romance away!<br/ <br/ I will be posting a second blog with main meals and dessert options.<br/ <br/ #wenchytude<br/ <br/ #AfricanHipsDontLie<br/ <br/

We came here for dinner with my family about a week ago I would definitely recommend it! <br/ <br/ Ambience: 4/5. Lovely place with beautiful decor! Instagram worthy for sure. A tad bit on the noisy side, but I guess that just means it get full. Separating the dining the drinks area did help though the drinks area is very noisy.<br/ Service: 5/5. We really got amazing service! Honestly the best I’ve had. Attentive but not intrusive, and ready with a joke! <br/ Menu: 4/5. Wasn’t as many options as we’d like. Some of the people struggled to choose. I think the steak options could be extended to include some signature steak combos. <br/ Drinks: 5/5. Great cocktail wine list. I enjoyed both the cocktails I had, I found their by the glass wine options very generous.<br/ Food: 4/5. I ordered the Parrilla burger it was a bit dry, which was unfortunate. Others had one of the steak options and they all seemed to enjoy their steaks. For dessert we had the newly added chocolate brownie which was delicious generous definitely one to share.<br/ <br/ Overall: 4/5.<br/ <br/ In general a really great place which I would definitely go to again recommend. The only reason I can’t give a 5 is because of my dry burger the slightly limited menu, but other than it’s definitely a great place for meat lovers cocktail enthusiasts.
