Profile

Chef/owner Aarón Sanchez is the son of Zarela Martinez, and with Paladar he’s done for Lower East Side foodies what his mother did for their older, uptown counterparts: created a colorful, lively circus of a restaurant that’s equal parts serious cooking and serious partying. Seafood is the standout on Sanchez’s bold pan-Latino menu. The bar in front is always packed, and with good reason: the house specialty drinks, like a tangy mojito, are killer.

Brunch

Sun., 11 a.m.—4 p.m.

Happy Hour
Daily, 4 p.m.—7 p.m.

Translation
For the record, "paladar" means "palate" in Spanish.

Recommended Dishes

Pan roasted market fish, $18; grilled steak, $19
