Barraco’s menu is a culinary delight, featuring dishes inspired by European cuisine, especially Italian and French, as the Baroque period was very impactful in Europe. Some of the customer favorites are “Juana Primera de Castilla (La Loca)”:  tres leches cake, chocolate crumble, fruit, cream, and vanilla ice cream. Then the starter is “Pulpo mediterráneo”: grilled octopus with potatoes, tomato, and avocado spheres. The most famous main dish is “Lomo el tartufo de moliere”: a cut of truffled steak medallions served over tartufo risotto and crispy parmesan.

“The service is magnificent, the food tastes magnificent, not to mention the space. A place I am sure I will return to,” Federico Roldán, a guest at Barroco, said.

Barroco features an impressive art gallery that adds a very special element to the restaurant. It highlights the history behind the detailed artworks of this time. The gallery is a thoughtful touch that invites customers to explore the fusion of art and history, offering depth and cultural enrichment to the meal.

“Excellent space to enjoy a special evening, the setting for those who know the history and for those who don’t is simply spectacular and captivating,” Roldán said.

While Barroco excels in many aspects, it’s not exempt from occasional setbacks. At times, the restaurant gets crowded, especially during peak hours, like Friday nights, leading to longer wait times. Additionally, some guests may find the prices on the higher side. Moreover, Barroco doesn’t draw the attention of people going past, as it has a simple exterior; therefore, most people get to know them because of social media or events such as Medellin Gourmet.

Without a doubt, Barroco is a must-visit for anyone searching for a unique and memorable gastronomic experience. From its stunning ambiance to its appetizing cuisine and impeccable service, Barroco offers something truly special. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy an extraordinary journey through the Baroque era at this exceptional restaurant.

“Barroco isn’t just a place to enjoy a meal; it is also a journey through history, art, and gastronomy,” Kayla said.
