About this space

Paraíso is a Mexican restaurant defined by a large open-plan dining layout and plentiful seating options that accommodate different group arrangements.

Design: The interior pairs industrial elements—exposed ductwork and concrete floors—with timber slat ceilings over the bar, tiled surfaces, leather-backed banquettes and brass pendant lighting for a straightforward, functional look.

Features: A central open kitchen with a wraparound chef counter and bar seating, plus a full-service bar. The venue provides an in-house PA system and speakers, Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and permission to play your own music. The ground floor offers step-free guest access and is wheelchair accessible.

Ideal for: Groups seeking relaxed, social dining or lively standing receptions in a casual restaurant setting.

What sets it apart: Extensive outdoor seating across multiple terraces that expands the usable dining footprint in favourable weather.

What guests say: The restaurant is colourful and thoughtfully decorated. The dining areas are clean and comfortable and the staff are friendly and attentive.
