We invite our community to participate in a time-honored tradition. Experience food as a daily pursuit, a connection to ingredients as they were meant to be.Pa’La is food with a sense of history, cooking in a way that is inherently approachable and human.The kitchen at Pa’La centers around a hand-built wood-burning oven and a Japanese Robata grill. In our cooking we use fire, smoke, coals, and embers to create dishes that reflect the seafood, grains, and vegetable-driven coastal cultures of the Mediterranean, Japan and South America. We are committed to strong relationships with a few select organic farmers and artisans practicing responsible agriculture and production.Because we source ingredients at their peak, our menu is continually changing. Each day we cook dishes determined by the best materials available.

    Never a disappointment. Some of the best fresh homemade food around from this family owned gem. Their ceviche is so complex and flavorful and the thousand ways they can prepare plantains is mesmerizing.

    The presentation and garnishes on our starter and three meals were beautiful, and the food was delicious. The selection of entrees is inventive, and we especially liked the mesquite-smoked duck breast with pineapple and tortillas. Our server accepted our pace and allowed plenty of time for conversation. Good selection of local draft beers. The restaurant wasn't crowded on a Tuesday evening, so the noise level was very low.

    Incredible as always, the rotating specials are always a surprise and delight. The best feature of this place is their command of the vegetable. The vegetable courses are a testament to their mastery of their ingredients. The service is also impeccable and the server is a master of hospitality expertly recommending pairing. Truly a gem in Phoenix and I make a point to visit whenever I’m in town!
