Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Amazing restaurant, very good service, very good food quality and unbeatable atmosphere. The atmosphere lives up to its name with a chaotic but pleasant distribution of thousands of objects throughout the restaurant. All in all curious, but very friendly. As for the staff, nothing to comment on, we had several conversations with the restaurant owner and he was super friendly, he even invited us for a mint tea. I have to admit I didn’t come up with high expectations about Lebanese food, but I really liked it. We didn’t know what dishes to grab, but a waitress helped us choose very kindly. The truth is that we fully steered it, a very good meal. Very good quality food. All in all a 5/5 an unbeatable restaurant.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Lost in the small streets of Cadaqués, a Lebanese man came to settle there many years ago, an emblematic figure, the boss will welcome you with his biggest smile, put you at ease and share his original cuisine with you. wholesome and authentic. The scenery is also there to make you travel. A real pearl.

Fantastic experience: This restaurant is definitely an experience to be had. He made us live a moment suspended outside Cadaquès. The dishes are tasty. The setting is magnificent and mesmerizing. The owner does everything to keep the family aspect of the cuisine they serve. Thank you.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: When we come to each one, for us it is almost a mandatory stop. We love the place, the treatment and the food! See you soon! Pd: gluten free option. My partner can't eat them and they immediately told us and offered the dishes they didn't bring.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We have returned to this wonderful place, we love the attention of Mr. Simy so kind and friendly. The food without a doubt the best. Every time we pass through Cadaqués it is impossible not to visit the site, which also has a wonderful patio full of flowers and very cozy. This time it was our turn inside, it is not the same but it still has a good time because of the amount of antiques they have. Recommended 100%. Thanks!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The place is a 12/10, both the atmosphere, the food amazing, very good, especially the very tender meat. Great staff too, the business man is a sweetheart and speaks several languages. He attended us in Arabic and was very considerate. One of the best restaurants we have been to, for sure we will repeat Chukran jazilan ♡
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Great restaurant! We went to celebrate a friend's birthday yesterday, August 1, and we were all delighted with the site. We ate on the beautifully decorated and charming terrace / garden. The staff are very friendly and with a joking / friendly touch that makes your meal happy. Very rich, large and powerful food dishes. In short, if we returned to Cadaques we would surely go to El Barroco again! VERY VERY GOOD!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The patio is lovely, as are the workers. The food is WONDERFUL; We ordered a tasting plate (picture) and two meats to share (shawarma and lamb). The dessert, with the tea, was delicious (baklava). To repeat.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: This place was AMAZING!! If you’re on the fence about going, just go. Listen to what the waiter recommends (which is the tasting menu plus a meat or a fish dish) and prepare to be amazed! This place is so authentic, I wish I could bring it back to the US with me. The staff is very friendly, and they speak English. Make sure to call ahead of time for a reservation!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: Great food in a beautiful setting

Fantastic experience: Excellent treatment. Excellent quality. And with a surprise included: the maitre d' has played the piano for us live!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Of many Lebanese restaurants we have tried, this is the best. Great variety and all delicious dishes. The owners are very professional and friendly, and the place is very charming. The beautiful inner courtyard. A 10 in food and service, highly recommended.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Nice discovery in Cadaqués. Located on the second line of the sea, this charming little place offers a wide variety of delicious Lebanese food. I don't give it 5 stars because when it came to serving the food they took it a little easy but it is possible that it will repeat again Very varied wine list with local and international proposals
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We come out of the Barroco delighted. Superb discovery. Not only is the cuisine very good, but the place is full of history and worth the detour. The owner is caring and humorous. Dimitri will long remember his first job as a waiter. I highly recommend
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing food and service. The owner was so sweet and humble when we told him how much we loved the food. Great atmosphere and SO worth going, despite it not being the traditional Spanish cuisine.

Fantastic experience: A place that offers good food, good prices and best of all, with a lot of friendliness.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Good treatment and good cuisine
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Very nice cafeteria with exquisite food, the calamares a la andaluza are a real spectacle ????bocadadillos buenísimos y tienen un menú muy económico y buenísima comida????????
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: The food was good, the service was good and the place was nice. The only thing that could be better is to put a little larger portions or put some more potatoes to accompany and to be able to leave well satisfied.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: This place will simply suspend you out of time (and Cadaques): Lebanese flavors, family spirit, attention to customers, atypical setting. A big thank you to the master of the place who breathes a beautiful soul into this place which exudes benevolence. 5 guests out of 5 satisfied! Well done and thank you
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: We had an amazing experience going twice to Le Barroco. Awesome food, charming environment, interesting decoration, very warming and friendly reception, it was one of the best places we've been. Last but not least, we also had a great time listening to Sammi's stories by the end of the night, which made everything way more special.

Positive experience: A very nice and spacious place, spacious premises and large terrace, very spaced tables and everything very clean. The attention of the waiters is diligent and friendly. Being such a frequented place, it is kept quite clean. The rates are reasonable, as in most of the surrounding places. Very good.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Stylish

Fantastic experience: Exotic and impressive place. Helpful and attentive treatment. There are many vegan and vegetarian alternatives. A place to repeat!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: If you are visiting cadaques, this place is a must visit. They have a lovely garden with awesome food.

Fantastic experience: It is very cozy and beautiful, its owner touches the foot and is super friendly, the waitresses the same, friendly and attentive. THERE ARE VEGAN AND VEGETARINES OPTIONS. The food, I sincerely believe that everyone should ask for the tasting plate, since if there is everything, it is very complete or in its counterpart order this as first and then a more forceful dish, but that sharing because the two is already a lot, I add that comes with a super rich tea. They have Libyan beer to drink, it is softer, not bad, and they have soft drinks, there is a yogurt one that is like kefir, and two others that are like flower and date water, very rich, the yogurt is very good, but it is a much more common flavor for a person from Spain. The desserts have Baklava, which are the most typical of the Middle East, they are like a thousand small leaves, with honey, nuts and flower water, very rich to accompany the tea, they have sorbets that are good, rice with milk. In the traditional way there, they also have mahalabia, it is like a custard with dried fruits, sweet and with flower water, very rich too. Very good experience, I will repeat.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: VERY GOOD lebanese food!! Every dish we had was amazing. This place has been there for 43 years! I was there 2 times with my friends, in a 4 night trip to Cadaqués. Both times the experience was amazing for all of us, the owner is a really nice and interesting guy, took time to show us around and tell stories even played the piano! If you're in Cadaqués, go there!!

Fantastic experience: I have had many fine Lebanese meals in Australia (lots of people from Lebanon call Oz home these days) but have never had a better one than what came my way last night at Le Barroco in Cadaques, Catalonya, Spain. The Phenicia degustation was delicious - it's 10 tastes amounts to a substantial meal - and great value for money. House sangria is superb, distinctive. Baklava is the real deal, nothing swims in syrup. The host is engaging and charmingly friendly. And the courtyard ambience is like nothing else, soft and green and eccentric as if Dali left his spirit here. An unexpected gem.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful lush courtyard, with relaxing music, great service and of course - super tasty food! Amazing place!

Fantastic experience: Hidden in the middle of a building converted in a small tropical jungle, the terrasse is a real treat to the eye. The food is varied and delicious, well prepared and nicely displayed. The host will also greet you in any of the 9 languages he speaks and probably play piano at some point during your meal: quite a character to meet. A very good place for a romantic dinner!

Fantastic experience: An incredible place, the decoration, the peace and how loving the terrace is... Dine there in addition to the food and attention... It's a movie theater. The place inside is like an art gallery, if you like to eat well and enjoy food with all your senses... It's the perfect place.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Lebanese restaurant 100% recommended !! We went at 10pm and they told us that the kitchen closed at 9pm, but they offered us the option of eating a dish that did not have very complicated preparations so as not to leave us out. It was the first time I had tried Lebanese food and I really liked it. In addition, the place is very beautiful, it is full of flowers and paintings made by the owner himself. When I return to Cadaqués, I will repeat
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very nice! Great food, good service, beautiful place. Perfect!

Fantastic experience: The food is delicious, the attention is incredible and the place is simply magical. We also went with our 3-month-old baby and the location to be there with him was the best, they have a changing table .
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very friendly host, beautiful setting and delicious food. He played the pioano whilst we ate, give an amazing atmosphere, really recommend visiting,

Fantastic experience: I grew up in the Middle East and definitely some of the best arabic food I had outside of that Region. A real gem in Cadaques

Fantastic experience: In the beautiful, unique village of Cadaqués you will find many spots that will resonate within your memories for the times to come. But then, as you walk through the narrow rocky streets among white houses, you stumble upon the wall of flowers and hidden blue door with sharp Dalí moustache painted on it, as a promise of surprise behind. It's almost 7:30 and groups of people are slowly flocking around the street. Behind the blue doors, a friendly face peeks through. In two minutes - he shows with his fingers. The doors open, and you're invited into an oasis within the land-island of Cadaqués. El Barroco, a lebanese restaurant with decades long tradition tucked between high walls of the old town's garden. Everything has its designated place, an orderly beauty of abundant eclecticism. As you're seated, lovely faces of family that runs the restaurant take in orders, giving you smiles and warm southern welcome, like you're visiting a home of a loved cousin. Mirrors in the garden reflect the live paintings of surrounding buildings outside of the oasis walls. You can't stop yourself from taking pictures, as wonderful sounds of Fairuz songs take you out of space and time, joined by the bells of a nearby Santa Maria de Cadaqués Church. Tastes of wonderful lebanese food enriched with unique dashes and sprinkles of spice combinations you probably never felt in your tabbouleh tease the umami, as you imagine the grill which smoked the aubergine in your babaganoush. The art of hospitality at its best creates happiness around tables, setting of a wonderful energy flow and a dining experience you will remember. It's a true gem of Cadaqués, and a perfect place to break the tapas circle once in Catalunya. Thank you for your lovely welcome Your Bosnian guest

Fantastic experience: Honestly? This place deserves 6 stars. #speechless
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: I had one of my most memorable dining experiences of my life here! Visited 2 years ago but can't forget this place and can't wait to return. The garden is magical, the service is so warm and personal, the food is absolutely delicious, wine list interesting and fun. The decor and mysterious collectables displayed inside add to the out of this world feel of the place, and to find the owner playing piano when I went to the toilet, honestly brought a tear to my eye it was so beautiful. I wonder if you remember my father and I visiting? We stayed late into the evening drinking brandy and wine, and you kindly drove us to our hotel - the kindest people. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Very original restaurant. A very good occasion to try Lebanese food. The interior patio is super cool, the decoration is not lacking in detail. My partner and I ordered a tasting menu, a starter saida (yogurt sauce) and the kebab to share, 100% recommended.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Delicious Lebanese food in a charming place. Exquisite treatment. We have chosen the assortment of tapas with various creams and a very good lamb skewer. For desserts we have ordered the best rice pudding I have ever eaten in my life.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Charming restaurant & service, amazing food especially the baba ganoush that was out of this world<3

Fantastic experience: This place is an experience not to miss in Cadaques. Sure, there is no dining with a view. But the atmosphere in the garden (do ask to be seated in the garden!) is magical. The staff is a family and you feel the love of their craft in the decor, the menu, and the splash of flavor in your palate. Reservation is a must.

Fantastic experience: I have been on several occasions and yet again the food was excellent washed down with a Lebanese beer.

Fantastic experience: Lovely courtyard dining area and the best prawns ever.

Fantastic experience: A beautiful and charming place, as well as the owner and his family. Very nice people, and best of all, a delicious meal (spectacular milk rice), well presented and very tasty. And as a icing on the cake, the owner has played the piano live for us, an endearing man. Highly recommended.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We have dined incredibly well. The patio could not be more beautiful, the interior of the restaurant is totally surprising, the food is exquisite and the attention is paid to all. We have also been lucky enough to be able to hear (who I think is the owner) play the piano live, quite an experience! I recommend it without hesitation.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Amazing food, staff and live piano interlude by the owner ❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: El Barroco was a unique treat. The terrace was truly charming. It was lush and green with little wisteria petals falling around as we ate. We had the meze platter to start. This food was clearly made with care and love. It had delicious spices and fresh ingredients. Even the tabbouleh had a unique blend of herbs I hadn't tasted before. Then we ordered a grilled fish with garlic sauce. The presentation was beautiful as well and the family that runs it were personable and attentive. It's a unique setting with similarly unique and special Lebanese food. Thanks for the experience, Le Barroco!

Fantastic experience: Delicious. We had lunch here, the mezze platter with some extras was excellent for two. The interior is almost like entering another world, fantastic decor. We had the fortune of eating in the courtyard, a plant-filled oasis. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I love Lebanese food and I would rarely be surprised, but this not only has quality food, but also has a special atmosphere that accompanies the whole experience. Everything we tried was tasty, but the tabboulleh was definitely special. On top of that the treat is very personal and carrying.

Fantastic experience: Had a really nice and tasty dinner! very good first impression of the lebanon kitchen! staff was really nice and helpful. we will definitely return!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, wonderful people, amazing food. Very rich garden worth seeing and the house is a museum on itself. All together, a perfect experience.

Fantastic experience: Great food and a perfect host. Interesting trinkets, need to go back next time I'm in the area. Food was so tasty!

Fantastic experience: Don’t miss! Outstanding flavour and hospitality. Beautiful courtyard and museum house. A welcome change when you need a tapas break - superb Lebanese food.

Fantastic experience: Charming restaurant with delicious Lebanese food and friendly service. Definitely worth checking out.

Fantastic experience: Great, authentic restaurant with a beautiful little garden in one of the small streets of Cadaqués. The food was honestly the best Libanese food we have had so far. We took the lamb and the mixed plate, both were excellent! Staff was very kind and hospitable. Highly recommended this place.

Fantastic experience: I went here with my family and I have one thing to say; the food is amazing. Lately I have only eaten Spanish food and the Lebanese food was a perfect addition to my Spanish culinary journey. The restaurant itself shows a lot of personality, whether it's the beautiful garden or the museum-like inside. The restaurant is lovely. The food is also amazing. I ordered the shawarma and I got experience tastes I have never tasted before. The meat was perfectly cooked and the garnish was amazing as well. My companions ordered the Meze and it looked amazing. However the waitress was a bit slow. For example it took them too long to give us the menus and receipt. To conclude this restaurant is a must go in Cadaqués! I truly loved it.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing meal in the inner courtyard! The owner was super nice and the food was a pleasure for both the eyes and tastebuds! The portions were generous and it honestly was the best Lebanese food I had in a while! A perfect place for a romantic date in the heart of the lovely village of Cadaques. (Review from 2016)

Fantastic experience: Amazing restaurant with delightful food and wonderful atmosfere.

Fantastic experience: Went here 2x while on vacation in Cadaqués, wonderful staff and great food! Recommend 100% if your looking for a great atmosphere where Dalí used to eat, the outside area and also the inside is wonderful and has a relaxing atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: We were looking for a place that satisfied both a vegetarian and a carnivore and found it here at El Barroco. It was pleasantly surprising to find great Lebanese food in a small town in Spain. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere. The family waiting on us made us feel right at home. Can't wait to go back.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: Nice place, good food and owner played Eric Satie!

Fantastic experience: An unique experience in a very singular place. In my opinion the food was very well cooked, did with love. The waiters were very kind. I will return for sure.

Fantastic experience: Delicious Lebanese food in a peaceful garden atmosphere. Owner's smiles, kindness, and warm intelligence add to the charm of this delightful place to eat. If you get the chance, step into the back room to marvel at the collection of model sailing ships, musical instruments, books, and figurines and sculptures and crafts.

Fantastic experience: Va very nice place with charming staff and the owner! If you’re tired of endless seafood restaurants and are looking for something different, this is the right choice! Balkanian cousin and a variety of different dishes. The place has a wonderful unique atmosphere and is located in an old oil factory. A must-visit!

Fantastic experience: Great inexpensive Libenese food, owner is quite the artist and has decorated the whole restaurant himself.

Fantastic experience: Even though we arrived a little for lunch, El Fakoury family (Owner's of the place) made us feel welcome and we had the best Lebanese food in Costa Brava, the atmosphere of th place was just amazing, plenty of soul and a backdrop of Classical Arabic music...suggest having a short tour inside the restaurant..feels like a museum, not to be missed!!

Fantastic experience: Good healthy food. Cool ambiance. The owner even played a song on the piano for everyone during dinner.
