    A charming and amazing place in a unique atmosphere created over years if not decades. Food very good, had no option to taste more but will come back. Try the wine from Lebanon!

    Just such an unusual and interesting restaurant. More like a Daliesque curio shop in a herbarium that serves high Lebanese quality food. The outdoor garden setting was a feast for the eyes. The owner was very kind and gracious and the staff very caring and attentive. The sampler plate was full of flavour and the baklava second to none. Worth a visit for both the food and visual spectacle.

    The location is nice with good service but it’s overpriced subpar Lebanese food. Nothing special. Tourist trap rip-off.

    My Family and I come here since I was a little child everytime we are in Cadaques. We all love Le Barocco, its the most beautiful restaurant in Cadaqués and for me, the most beautiful restaurant out of all I have ever been to. The plants in the outside space give a very dreamy feeling and also the inside of the restaurant feels cozy and has a lot details to look at. The food is always amazing, it looks and tastes delicious and we go home happy and full each time. Because my family know Samy since forever, it feels very familiar and almost like coming home. Thank you! ❤️

    TLDR: do not visit here if you have children under 5. Such a gorgeous terrace garden but unfortunately if you have a child/children you will be sent to a musty old back room away from any natural light. The owner told us this was for our comfort as well as for the people on the terrace who deserved to eat in peace. Fair warning, he did tell me on the phone that there was a special room for families. I didn't realise that we would be put in a dark room away from everybody else all alone. It was all in all very old fashioned with a yucky sentiment that people and their children should not be out and about. The menu also asked for feedback, when I told the owner how we felt a bit isolated he told us off and was very defensive. The food was very expensive as well. Tourist trap.

    I can't say enough about this amazing place. The food was delicious. We got vegetarian sample plates that were so good. The owner was very gracious and moved us to a table outside when it became available. It felt like we were in the secret garden. Such imaginative and beautiful decor. Don't miss this place if the beaten path a bit!

    A magical grotto of flowers and trees and crammed with antiques large and small and with superb food... The inside of the building is truly an old curiosity shop, with an 8ft tall millstone sharing the space with delicate china and brass objet d' art If you happen to be there around closing time, the owner may entertain you with some piano music. DO NOT MISS

    Much more than dinner and the food is amazing. Barroco is like stepping into another wondrous world. I feel fortunate to have had the experience.

    The place is absolutely beautiful. It's hidden away in a quite lane and from the inside its like being in a mini museum. The food is excellent. We were lucky enough to see the owner play the piano as well and the atmosphere was close to magical. Strongly recommend making a reservation beforehand because the timings are limited and the best places to sit may get taken. 10/10 would go again.

    Very tasty food! Amazing ambient and decoration. A plus in the experience is the piano played by his owner.

    Great spot for vegans/vegetarians with a very friendly owner. Inside you find a true vintage collection and outside its beautiful with all the colors, flowers and plants. And the food was AMAZING.

    On our trip to Spain this was one of the best meals we had. The mixed platter and sea bass was perfect. The atmosphere was very unique. The owner was gracious and he even played the piano during one moment of the meal. It’s an eclectic place and definitely had a dream like feel. Maybe why Dali came there. 10/10!

    Different in cadaques, original menu and great ambience. But service in summer is not what you would expect even considering that 1st week august is busy in cadaques. Pity, could have been more enjoyable.

  • 5/5 jared z. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended. The owner kindly accommodated my family of 5 on a very busy weekend in August with only 1 day advance notice. He and his daughter personally served/waited on us. Food is delicious. Ambiance is delightful. History is cool. Location is ideal. Owners are wonderful.

    Ordered the mezze platter and baklava which were delicious. As a solo diner eating alongside couples and families, the staff made me feel welcome and checked in on me regularly. With a bottle of water, the bill came up to €30, a tad expensive but for the quality of the food, I felt it was worth it. Overall it was a very good meal and I left bursting at the seams. If you're tired of the numerous seafood restaurants, this is a great option. Don't miss the interior dining room and the back room filled with marvellous antiques!

    Very nice lunch on a February Saturday. Excellent food, including a vegan dish. Friendly people and efficient service, nice surroundings, outside and inside. Prices are average as most places in Cadaques but decent value. A bonus is the "museum" of artefacts inside. They also speak several languages.

    Fantastic Lebanese dinner by a great restauranteur and family. Our group ate a few mixed plates and a few desserts and left satisfied. Felt like I was treated to their family dinner. Sammy strikes the right balance of making you feel special while still running the front of house. Thanks for a great dinner!

  • 5/5 Marina G. 1 year ago on Google
    Samy is the best ever!! The cuisine was exquisite, prices adequate, cozy and fresh. Vegan & vegetarian friendly. Highly recommend it!

    Hidden Lebanese gem offering delicious veggie options. Veggie plato de degustacion / mezza and dorada ideal for 2 are just out of this world. Cozy place in a green setting with friendly staff. Amazing!

    We had an amazing lunch here on our anniversary! They have a beautiful little courtyard garden where you can enjoy your lunch and lots of interesting artifacts and memorabilia. The food was spectacular as well as amazing service. Thank you Sammy, it was a pleasure to meet you and enjoy your beautiful restaurant!

    Had dinner here on a Thursday night! Got to the restaurant at the time they opened with no reservation. No problem, if you prefer garden seating will be best to make a reservation. We ordered the Meza platter and a shawarma dish. The food was awesome! I was so happy to finally get a little spice ( olives / red pepper hummus ) as opposed to most food in Europe that is kind of not spicy ! Our waitress was the daughter of the gentlemen running the place. I loved the family atmosphere, felt like they had invited us over to their Lebanese family gathering!

    Great food!! Great beer!! Beautiful garden!! Very kind staff!! Try to get a table outside in the garden, the interiors feel a bit like a creepy doll house storage.
