Imagine walking into an energetic outdoor produce market in Lima, Peru. Visualize the panoply of brightly colored vegetables, the gleaming array of freshly caught seafood, and the succulent aromas of the region’s renowned rotisserie chicken. Such a place was the inspiration behind Parada, a restaurant that brings the flavors of Peru to Walnut Creek.
The vibrant, 60-seat corner space is the vision of acclaimed chef Carlos Altamirano, a man renowned in the Bay Area for his extraordinary take on traditional Peruvian cuisine. Abueg Morris Architects designed Parada with a mix of woods and industrial metals with pops of turquoise throughout.
Discover dishes such as fresh fish ceviches, organic salads, grilled anticuchos (or meat skewers), and entrées such as the traditional chicken dish known as Pollo à la Brasa. With both à la carte and family style meals available for dine-in or take out, Parada is warm, approachable and gives diners a taste of authentic Peruvian fare.
