| Parrilladas Del Sur was a Bolivian restaurant on [[Locale Old Kent Road|Old Kent Road]] in [[Locale Walworth|Walworth]], near the junction of Old Kent Road and East Street. |
Bolivian food place on [[Locale Old Kent Road|Old Kent Road]] in [[Locale Walworth|Walworth]]. It is near the junction of Old Kent Road and East Street. It is next to a South American cafe ([[Costa Azul, SE1 5TY]]) and two doors away from [[Dragon Inn, SE1 5TY]]. |

As of April 2014 it's closed, and the place is a building site while the hotel next door is extended. There's no information posted at the site on whether the restaurant will return once construction is complete. |
[[secretlondon]] thinks this used to be a showroom of some sort. The photograph [http://www.london-se1.co.uk/restaurants/info/514/parrilladas-del-sur SE1 have] has signage about gas fires. It is in a courtyard with an entrance to the building ahead and to the right. To the left are very small outside toilets in their own little block. |

The information below is retained for historical purposes. |
The signage outside is entirely in Spanish but thankfully the menu is bilingual, as is their flyer. However if [[secretlondon]]'s experience is typical there is probably not much call for the translation. It felt that this was as much a community centre as a restaurant. Many people were just hanging out, drinking beer and watching loud Spanish-language music on the television. They have PA equipment and advertise live music on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. On a Sunday afternoon in June 2009 there was no live music though. To add to a slight tourist feel some of the regulars were wearing traditional bowler hats. |

<div class="old_info"> Bolivian restaurant on [[Locale Old Kent Road|Old Kent Road]] in [[Locale Walworth|Walworth]], near the junction of Old Kent Road and East Street. |
Parrilladas means "grill" in Spanish and the restaurant has a variety of chicken, meat and fish dishes all served with rice and salad. [[secretlondon]] had pollo picante (chicken in a spicy sauce) (£7) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3668594855/ photo]</small> which was enormous! It was half a chicken in a not-very-spicy tomato and onion sauce with rice, potatoes and salad. I actually couldn't finish it all! I also had a bottle of water (£1). They are licenced and sell Bolivian Pacena beer as well as other South American beers and wines (all unsampled). |

The restaurant is in a courtyard with an entrance to the building ahead and to the right. To the left are very small outside toilets in their own little block. Judging by [http://worldsworstcameraphone.blogspot.com/2007/11/parrilladas-del-sur-bolivian-restaurant.html old] [http://www.london-se1.co.uk/restaurants/info/514/parrilladas-del-sur photos], the premises used to be a showroom of some sort. |
Accessibility: the toilets are too small to turn round in. Not sure about steps. |
