Fresh, seasonal produce is at the forefront of the concept at Paradise. Boasting a decadent menu of British and modern European-inspired dishes, it is clear that food is an important part of the experience at this unique bar and restaurant in Kensal Green.
The restaurant itself appears old-fashioned but opulent. Rich, velvet furniture of royal blues and mustard yellows are joined by feature chandeliers and gold-framed mirrors. Combining this with an exciting, creative menu makes for a delightful atmosphere that is both lively and glamorous.
On the usual dinner menu, you'll find an array of starters with bold flavours. A punchy piccalilli dressing joins crispy smoked ham hock while cured seabass has avocado, ponzu sauce, pickled cucumber and caviar as its accompaniment. Heading into the mains it is a similar story; aubergine comes spiced with curried chickpeas and labneh while a tender lamb chop is served with a minty pesto as well as pea, leek and pink fir potatoes. The team know when to show-off their skills though with classics like battered haddock left the way everyone loves - crunchy and served with mushy peas, tartare sauce and hand cut chips.
An impressive list of desserts are there for the finishing touches on your meal. A traditional sticky toffee pudding ticks the boxes with a butterscotch sauce, crunchy hazlenut praline and vanilla ice cream. English strawberries and a mint gel provide a refreshing side to a rich dark chocolate delice and diners without a sweet tooth have a selection of British cheeses to indulge in.
Paradise is ready to impress every day of the week with a brunch menu of sweet annd savoury options as well as a traditional roast on a Sunday. They don't just serve a simple roast though, the menu spoils you with a three meat roast of chicken, beef and slow-cooked pork belly served with all the trimmings and lashings of red wine gravy. Make sure you wear your stretchiest jeans for this one.
