La Parada

Ate there on Friday night. Not a restful experience. It was very busy and very noisy (a little noise buffering wouldn't go amiss.) The doorman saw us hovering with our drinks near the entrance, and kindly pointed out a table when one came available.  We tried the chorizo - tasty but rather greasy - and the ham croquettes, which were basically fried cheesy balls with a few tiny pieces of ham in them. The stuffed chicken was impressively juicy, probably because it was wrapped in pancetta and had cheese in the middle. It was served with some rather oily stirfried veggies. All-in-all, a rather greasy experience. Mostly though, we couldn't wait to get out so we could hear ourselves think.
