Diner notes
5 out of 5
The Food was a 10/10 we had 2-3 meals per person. The Restaurant was so clean and beautiful . I like how they make sure they are not serving alcohol to teenagers by asking for their ID to prove if they’re 21. The service was top notch and songs too played by the Dj . Hands up to the Chefs the food was soooooo Good it’s a place to return to.

We had such an amazing night at La Parada Gateway... The vibe was great, the food was delicious, and what really stood out was the service. Bali was our waitress and she was honestly fantastic... so attentive, friendly, and made us feel comfortable the whole evening. Tau, the manager, went out of his way to make sure we were looked after and helped us with anything we needed throughout the night. He also came by a few times to check in, which really showed how much they care about their guests. What impressed me even more is that even other waiters and staff who weren’t serving our table still jumped in to help whenever we needed something. That teamwork and effort made the experience even better. Honestly, one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a while… can’t wait to come back!

La Parada Umhlanga offers an intimate and relaxing atmosphere that makes it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy great company. The food is absolutely delicious — every dish is full of flavour and beautifully presented. Their cocktails are just as impressive, perfectly mixed and bursting with taste. La Parada delivers a memorable dining experience every time.
