A hidden gem on Fairy Springs road. Great and reasonably priced food. The Lamb salad was delicious. The service was top of the line with friendly staff. Food arrived fast at the table. Will definitely be going again.

Just finished the Baraco Big Breakfast, it was a quick stop on our way through, definitely big enough to cover breakfast and lunch as it did, food was fresh and very tasty, cooked perfectly. Eggs were perfect just the right amount of runny, coffee was very nice too, not burnt and a good temperature. I hate overly hot coffee. Fabulous little place, great service and friendly staff. Well done. I wish I could have sampled more of his menu. Will definitely stop here when ever I am in town.
