Bacari GDL is celebrated for its delicious and diverse small plates, vibrant atmosphere, and exceptional service, making it a top choice for special occasions and casual dining.

"The best place to enjoy the ambiance and food. Go here with your loved one or by yourself, it will not disappoint you. Our server, Madison, was the sweetest and she took care of us very well. Very welcoming staff. Okay enough about the amazing staff, the food here is mind blowing as well. Like every dish that we ordered turned out to be just mouth watering. I never knew foodgasm until I felt it today. Definitely try the stuffed mushroom, apple and Brie pizza. The drinks were great too. A little overpriced but I guess it’s worth it!?"

"Great tapas spot in a super busy area. I would highly recommend making reservations before you visit.
We went before a show at the Alex theatre and everything we had was delish!
We eat a lot and ordered the watermelon salad, beet salad, octopus, beef pita, sirloin steak .... we were still hungry so we then ordered the shawarma tacos and glazed pork belly.
There were two of us and we polished everything off and had room for desert! We got the pistachio desert (don't remember the name) and it was really good.
Would definitely come back if we come by this area again."

"Had a great experience at Bacari! The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful—a perfect mix of Mediterranean and Italian-style tapas. We tried a little bit of everything, and honestly, every dish was amazing. The mac and cheese with bacon and truffle oil was a standout—rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. We also loved the stuffed mushrooms, which were perfectly seasoned and delicious. Even the wine and cocktails were fantastic.
The food came out in a timely manner, which we really appreciated. Seating outside was lovely, with a great ambiance. The only downside was the service—our server barely spoke to us or engaged, which took away from the otherwise wonderful experience. Still, the quality of the food and atmosphere definitely made up for it. We’ll be back for sure!"
