arrived at la parada after a relaxing sunday drive through woodlands in constantia. therestaurantwas vibrant and exciting with life. there was a distinct scent of jubilation in the air. the band was playing popular music with an afro twist to it. we were seated next to the stage, which was quite a busy area. i ordered tapas to eat this was the; salt and pepper fried calamari, prawn croquetas and the honey and thime roasted butternut.
the salt and pepper calamari, was fresh, it had a nice lemon zest and tender crumb to it. the prawn croquetas were cooked well through, the tomato aioli is not strong. makes it a comfortable dish to enjoy. the butternut was sweet and soft, it was a great compliment to the main tapas.
great place to spend a sunday afternoon
