As it was an anniversary, we decided to go out for something nice. La Parilla Steakhouse was the choice as it was all about steak and we just love steak.Located across the street from Tai Kwun, the restaurant is very large and spacious.Menu is in English only. It's concise and to the point. The staff explained they served beef from Argentina that has been aged for one month. Famous for being one of the best beef breeders in the world, we wanted to try a bit of everything. All the items are share
Located across the street from Tai Kwun, the restaurant is very large and spacious.
Menu is in English only. It's concise and to the point. The staff explained they served beef from Argentina that has been aged for one month. Famous for being one of the best beef breeders in the world, we wanted to try a bit of everything. All the items are shareable portion sizes.
At the start, they give you a loaf of bread. Crusty with a good tearability, this was a good piece of bread. You can dip it in olive oil but I always like to just dip it with any sauce that will come with our food. It was also good on it's own which is how I often eat bread.
They have a few epanadas to choose from including a taster set of all of them but we just wanted one. Carne Epanada ($75) as it was filled with minced Argentinian beef. It was big enough to share between us and came with a very spicy salsa.
The pastry was flakey and soft. It was filled to the brim with a very savory mince.
The other starter we chose Bone Marrow ($108) because I love bone marrow. Seasoned with herbs and served with crunchy toasted bread, this was really moorish. The oils from the marrow just dripped away, making a wonderful oily mess.
For mains, we choose two. The first was Grilled Octopus Tentacles ($298). The octopus was soft and tender. It was plated on a bed of eggplant mash that was the best thing on the plate and a bit of grilled sweet potato. All was balanced by a spicy hit of chimichurri.
As we were here for steak, we ordered a Rib Eye ($418). Cooked to a perfect medium, the steak was juicy and moist. It was served on a hot sizzling iron plate for further searing. The steak wasn't over seasoned and did rely on the dipping sauces that accompanied it.
It came with six dipping sauces: garlic aioli, BBQ sauce , mustard.
Salsa, chimichurri and gremolata.
We ended with dessert of Flan Casero ($88). The dessert was rich and creamy. Sweet yet not too sweet it was overpowering. The berries accompanying gave it a good acidic balance.
A good steakhouse in the middle of Central. And it appeared to be popular as it became full very quickly. Good thing we made a reservation! A nice way to celebrate an anniversary.
