Always a good experience. It was noisier than usual this time, large conference nearby. We ventured outside our usual fare, which is: cigars, octopus, and duck. We kept the cigars, but tried the tuna tartar because it included grilled eggplant and avocado.... we didn't read the fine print, it was grilled eggplant and avocado crema, lol. It was good, but missed the octopus!. We also tried the rack of lamb, which was excellent... still Persian Tahdig... SO GOOD!. Their Tempranillo and Nebbiolo by the glass were excellent!

Slow service, mediocre overpriced food. I usually go to Kokkari, another Mediterranean restaurant, but decided to take my team here for lunch. Big mistake. Everyone agreed, we are not coming back here again.

I've enjoyed several excellent meals at Barcha. Its popularity has unfortuantely resulted in excessively loud noise levels in the restaurant. In the future I will plan to dine outside weater permitting or go elsewhere.
BarchaResponded on May 23, 2025
Hello Fred, Thank you for your feedback regarding the noise levels in the restaurant. It's true --- we do aim to provide a lively escape from much of the downtown's surrounding austerity. However, we want to ensure all guests are warmly acknowledged and comfortable with Barcha. I will say we are naturally quiet on the weekends, which may suit your preferences. Please reach out any time -and we will try and provide a quieter space for you any time. Take care, Brigid Huntoon Barcha Manager

Food is always great here. It’s super loud even outdoors during lunch on a Tuesday. Service is good, even better when it’s not as busy. Happy repeat customer.
