Have to say, we are massive fans of Barocca - it's a staple visit whenever we visit Luz. Located on the same street as other favourite Ondaluz, it's a great place for both pre & post dinner cocktails and drinks.
On past trips, we have visited both for said cocktails and the all you can eat bbq buffet they put on during the summer months. It really is a feast to behold and everything is cooked directly in front of you in the small barbecue at the top of the steps.
However, on our most recent holiday, we were only there with one thing in mind - the wedding of the other half's auntie. Taking place on a Saturday afternoon for the ceremony and following party, we were pleased that the sun had started to go in and they provided plenty of outdoor cover for those who wanted in. The small ceremony area looked lovely, and there were sunflowers dotted about the place.
The food provided was absolutely delicious. Although buffet style - I assumed that, if serving myself, I probably wouldn't go for much due to the heat of Luz - I found myself piling my plate right up! There was a thai chicken curry which was absolutely delicious, and a kind of beef stew (or perhaps Scouse, seeing as much of the party were from Liverpool...nice touch!), along with some seafood for those who wanted it, and a lovely duck and chorizo paella. Safe to say, I was stuffed!
Staff coped well with the activities that ensued i.e. plenty of dancing and many spilled drinks on said dancefloor, but they got involved and didn't appear to be too fussed! Service at the bar was speedy throughout the evening, with spirits, wine, cider and beer flying out.
A friendly place to spend some time! read more
