Harbour House to open La Parada at V&A
The Harbour House Group will unveil a La Parada at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. Featuring two floors of dining and cocktail spaces, La Parada V&A Waterfront is set to marry on-trend surrounds with its contemporary tapas menu.
Traditionally served in Spanish wine bars, the tapas concept has evolved from the traditional two-bite snack experience to a more modern shared-plated offering.
La Parada V&A Waterfront Chef Roche Rossouw says: “We serve everything from smart, snack-style choices like prawn croquettes to more robust offerings like our famous crispy pork belly or our grilled cheese with ham and truffle – we cater for every level of appetite. The La Parada offering works for any time of the day and suits the brand’s diverse mix of guests.”
“Whether people are popping in for a cheeky glass of wine and enjoying sharing plates or are planning to linger longer, there’s something on the menu that matches any food mood,” he adds.
La Parada V&A Waterfront joins its sister eateries at Constantia Nek and Bree Street and like its predecessors, there is no doubt this convivial dining concept will fill a niche.
“La Parada is a really stylish space but the style of food makes it unpretentious too – it’s the kind of spot that’s perfect for after work drinks or to host your birthday party,” says Harbour House group marketing manager Tahlia Bester.
A new addition to La Parada V&A Waterfront is the inclusion of an upstairs private area in the design. The lounge, dining, and bar concept is tucked away from the main restaurant and is a discreet space for guests to meet, eat, and drink. A dedicated hospitality team and additional whisky bar concept will add to the exclusive ambience of this stylish space.
“It’s all part of the brand tapping into what people want – our research shows that guests want to be part of the main restaurant mix but they like the option of a more private space too,” continues Bester.
Likewise, the interior at La Parada V&A Waterfront is sure to turn heads. An eye-catching palette of wood, exposed brick, marble and tropical touches reveals a nod to current trends and the eatery’s Spanish influences while detailed patterning, lush greenery and touches of metallic are timeless additions that add more visual layers to the mix.
La Parada V&A Waterfront opens in early November 2018 and is situated at 1 Dock Rd, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town.
