Baru Bistro & Tapas

“Can’t believe I didn’t know about Baru for so long. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself is beautiful while still feeling cozy and comfortable. Service was excellent throughout the meal. Already looking forward to coming back many more times.”

“I wouldn't exactly call Baru a hidden gem, since it's not so hidden with it's gorgeous exterior. But people don't talk about it enough! The food is incredible - the mazorca, patatas bravas, arepas con lechon, and churrasco are my favorites. I DREAM about the maracuya cocktail. Great mocktails too. They do a great coolinary menu in August. They've got indoor and outdoor seating. Just a lovely place. You will not be disappointed.”

“Got the pisco sour and it was great and refreshing. Churrasco steak was delicious. Sitting on the balcony was a very nice atmosphere and pretty view of the street”

“We shared happy hour small plates - arepa, Cubano sandwich, croquetta- all very good and beautifully presented. Margarita and granacha smoothed the conversation. The mushroom "regular" tapas also hit home. Hostess Marilyn took great care of us and her colleagues stepped up, too. I look forward to a return to Baru for seafood and morcilla if I can't make it to Cartagena.”

“It was my first time trying Baru, and I was not disappointed. The food and service were amazing! My family and I shared small tapas as a family of five. Yes, they’re small, but it was plenty. We had the empanadas, a good vegetarian option, and they were excellent. We also had the chuzos, agillo, and whole fish, as well as chorizo sausage. Everything was cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The food came out quickly. Our server was so sweet and great at suggesting what to order. The drinks were good as well. I recommend getting the maracuyá.”
