What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Parrilla Natural is celebrated for its stunning, enchanting garden ambiance, particularly magical at night under the illuminated pine tree. Diners rave about the high-quality, grass-fed Uruguayan steaks cooked on traditional parrillas, and consistently praise the exceptional starters and varied side dishes. While the food and atmosphere are major draws, some guests have noted inconsistent service, with a few encountering unprofessional staff, and concerns about table time limitations during peak hours.
"Amazing setting. Tough reservation so book early. Phenomenal service.
All starters were 10/10.
Steak in n tasting platter had to be returned which was no trouble. However upon return even with a new piece was still subpar."
Joseph Cuddy
"Parilla was an exceptional experience, from the lovely and attentive staff to the remarkable couvert, starters, mains, and sides.
Everything they do feels thoughtful and considered. The restaurant is set in a beautiful location, which only adds to the experience.
It was, without a doubt, the best meal we had all week."
Clare Collins
"What an incredible evening at Parrilla Natural!
I called before & spoke to the manager who was hugely helpful in dealing with our personal requests.
The evening flowed with exceptional flawless service from start to finish.
We were all pleased with our food & especially the multiple side dishes; we over ordered but just didn’t care enough to stop, we were on a roll.
Great evening, thank you Parrilla Natural & we can’t wait to return."
