Barbounia is a beautiful restaurant with a lovely room and a lively atmosphere. The service is consistently outstanding, and the food is tasty, arriving steaming hot. Cocktails are presented nicely, and the bartender makes excellent recommendations. The flavors are exceptionally good, with unique combinations that are hard to find elsewhere. The staff is accommodating, making minor changes to ensure food safety for those with allergies. Barbounia offers a wide range of menu options, including mezze, salads, and seafood dishes like octopus and Tuna Crudo. Diners can enjoy delightful desserts like rose water panna cotta and passionfruit sorbet.
Recent customers have praised the friendly and knowledgeable staff, including the bartenders and waiters who provide attentive service and menu suggestions. The Mediterranean cuisine remains of consistent quality, and the ambiance is first-class, especially when served by Gonzalo. Guests enjoyed fresh and delicious food, highlighting the atmosphere as wonderful. The space is lovely, and the service staff is really nice, although some noted that the front desk staff could be rude and unhelpful, which was a disappointing start.
The restaurant can be lively, with a noise level that may be too high for those wanting a quiet conversation. Despite this, many find it a great place for lunch or dinner, especially for small groups. The prix fixe menu offers good value, with popular dishes like hummus and chicken pita highly recommended. Overall, Barbounia continues to be a popular spot for Mediterranean food, good drinks, and a welcoming environment.
