Bar'kada

Bar'kada is already a fantastic spot for its vibrant atmosphere, delicious fusion food, and unique cocktails, but our experience was elevated to the next level thanks to Luna C., our server for the evening. From the moment we sat down, Luna made sure we felt right at home. Her warm personality and welcoming energy created a laid-back yet fun vibe that matched the spirit of the restaurant perfectly. What really stood out was Luna's knowledge of the menu. She effortlessly guided us through the options, offering thoughtful recommendations tailored to our tastes. Whether it was explaining the ingredients of a dish or suggesting the perfect cocktail pairing, she made sure we had exactly what we needed. It was clear that Luna knew the menu inside and out, and her enthusiasm was infectious. Beyond her professionalism, Luna made sure that our experience felt personalized. She checked in just the right amount to make sure everything was perfect, without ever being intrusive. Her timing was impeccable, and she managed the pace of the meal flawlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy our evening. If you're looking for great food, drinks, and exceptional service, Bar'kada is the place to go, and if you’re lucky enough to have Luna C. as your server, you're in for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

I originally saw this resto on Tiktok. I wasn’t sure it was pet friendly so I called in advance before me and my boyfriend dined last night, and they the patio is pet friendly. That immediately raised a green flag for me as a fur mom since not a lot of restaurants are. Then I found out it is Filipino owned, which was why I enjoyed the food. The service was amazing as expected. I definitely recommend the Spicy Shrimp Noodles even though the portion is pretty big for a small person like me lol. I also tried the Mango Cucumber Salad and liked it, the only issue though were the peanuts. Even though I’m not allergic, my palate would prefer it without. My boyfriend liked the Duck Confit Fried rice and the Crispy Chicken Bites. The desserts were amazing and we liked the Cheesecake and Ube Ganache (although I found it a bit too sweet for my taste), but sad that I didn’t get to have the Leche Flan. I’m not going to give it 5 stars, since I know there’s still so much potential to grow and expand the menu. But would 100% come back here though.

The food was delicious and very well presented! I will say the spicy burger wasn't at all spicy, but still a very great smash burger. Everything else we ordered was pretty good as well! The aesthetic of the place was really nice with the backyard patio being a nice place to sit and enjoy if the weather permits. Loved the cocktails too! Would recommend!

FOOD: food is ok but not much filipino flavor going on in here. • Smash burger (extra patty): patty is slight dry but flavor is ok. Fries are fresh and somewhat crispy. • Fish Taco: fish pieces are tiny and mostly bread, it's dry inside and mostly pickle/ veggie there. Not worth it. SERVICE: was ok, nothing bad. VIBE: dark, bar vibe and loud.

Great spot for Filipino based menu. Very tasty apps and shareables. The main entrées where flavourful and the right temperature a lot of restaurants serve semi cold food in this place with bang on with its quality. Cocktails were amazing. The atmosphere of this restaurant and lounge is very inviting but subdued. Service was friendly and accommodating. One minor thing, though is that the server we had, although very pleasant, was not too sure of the menu items we asked about in regards to describing it. We would definitely be back as this place is unique.

This is probably the best bar I've been to. The bartender is very nice, attentive, and made us the most beautiful drinks. Our cocktails were shockingly delicious, I've never seen flavours like that on a menu before, tasted more like I was having dessert. The atmosphere is great with pretty lighting, and they played the big ufc fight that night on the TV. They have a lemonade seltzer on tap which was very good. The white sangria tasted more like a margarita though. I would love to come here again because their food menu actually looks amazing too.

A nice trendy bar with Filipino fusion items on the menu. It was super loud but I loved the music they played that night! The server was very attentive and the food was tasty. Certainly a great place to hang out and eat with friends.

Really cool and trendy interior, sets a nice vibe for nighttime dining. We ate at the back patio which was very lovely. Our service was also top-notch. The menu has a nice selection of dishes and cocktails. 4 stars because the food was good but not super great. All in all, I would go back and know I'll have good food and drinks in a really nice atmosphere.
