Baro

I was craving South American food, and thought I’d try this place. I was not disappointed. Service was slow at first 15 minutes but later it got better. my server was friendly, super helpful on helping me decide what to order. Food flavours are well balanced, great pairing with their cocktail. I enjoyed the food a lot and even more so I was in awe with the pastry chef herself and her creations, make sure you save some room for desserts.

I’ve been to Baro quite a few times now for drinks, brunch, as well as dinner. I’ve always had a positive experience, including my visit yesterday for a Valentine’s Day dinner. I sat up at their heated patio on the fourth floor. It has a dimly lit atmosphere and it was quite warm. One thing to note is that some tables are directly underneath a diffuser above and you’ll feel a consistent draft of air down at you. It’s definitely noticeable, but you get used to it I guess. The tables are also really close together and it was hard for me to get in through the small gap between our table and the next one over for me to sit down at the booth at the back wall. When the server attended to the table beside us he even nudged the lamp that was on our table. Conversation-wise, you’re definitely going to hear what the group or table next to you is talking about whether you want to or not. Had the jackfruit empanadas as well as the grande mac empanadas. The empanadas are a nice texture - I’d say more so with the grande mac ones that we got compared to the jackfruit empanadas which had a more chewy/ tough shell. The grande mac empanadas were a softer and flakier. That grande mac dish is a really fun concept for a dish to elevate a really recognizable fast food item (McDonald’s Big Mac). The grilled octopus was cooked perfectly and had a nice char to them. The OG duck chaufa was nice. I was hoping it would get more crispy rice bits but it was nice regardless. The pollo asado was also well cooked and flavourful. I had the alaska dessert special and can’t say I was a big fan of it. The base was super tough and hard to cut through when you try to get a bite that includes every layer. It seems like a dish that’s prepared in advance and kept refrigerated and maybe just garnished with the pistachios and they torch the meringue to order. The base was just really tough maybe from how long it gets refrigerated because it softens up the longer you let it acclimate to room temp. I also found it on the sweeter side for my taste. Drinks-wise, they were okay i’d say. I got the El Pátron. flavour was good. However, it really gets in the way of drinking when you have multiple ice cubes rushing to your face whenever you try to take a sip. I wonder if it could just be one large ice cube to keep the drink the proper temp. I ordered a Dos Equis beer as well which came pretty late - noticed other people getting their beers/ drinks before me despite me ordering before them and seemed like it got forgotten. Overall, it was a good experience.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. It can get pretty busy but with a reservation you shouldn’t have any issues. The food was OK. Not the best however, the staff were nice enough to accommodate the price for this which I greatly appreciate. The menu is nice and simple for brunch and the quality of the food seems to be great. Pricing is also add a good rate with a highly recommend checking it out.

Great food, great service and great atmosphere. We went to Baro with high expectations and was not disappointed. We had for appetizers: Ceviche De Atun, Albondigas, main: OG Duck Chaufa-ita, Pulpo a la Parilla and dessert: Churros and Chocoflan. If I was to choose one dish that really stood out, it would be the Ceviche. Its was absolutely sensational!!. We went for winterlicious so it appears that their traditional menu is different from the winterlicious menu. But it was all good. It's definitely worth going back; They've joined my list of restaurants I'd go back to.

Struck by how engaged all the staff were with us. Hosts were cheerful and found us a seat, on a busy Saturday night. The bartenders were fantastic. Talking with us, while creating some amazing drinks. The genuine, thanks for coming it was great having you here tonight, was the icing on the cake. Fantastic! Thank you!!!

Wow! Service was great. I wish I got the name of our server. He was so nice and explained the menu well. The food was great and at a good price point. Came for brunch with the girls and would definitely come again. Vibe ✔️ Food ✔️ Service ✔️ Price ✔️

It was an amazing experience with my group of friends! Top tier ambiance, service, food, and experience 👌 we dined in, but I would love to come back and try the patio experience. The food was 5 stars. We got a variation of everything since it's sorta like tapas style food. Our waitresse was sweet and suggested amazing drinks 🍸. The interior design of this restaurant is a whole experience on its own. A great spot for a girl's night out, a date, solo, or a trying a new experience.

A great spot for a special occasion brunch! Brunch menu slightly on the pricey end but provides various choices and is served in generous portions. The food was flavorful and our server, Juliano was friendly and we enjoyed learning of his Colombian roots! Will be coming back for dinner soon.
