From a warm welcome, excellent menu and a small but well chosen wine list, we were impressed from the start. Several of the tapas were outstanding, notably the Wild Mushroom Gratin and the Anchovy Pintxos, the Kangaroo Paella was a delight.

Hi Cheryl, We're very glad to hear you enjoyed your experience at Barrel & Bliss! The Kangaroo Paella is a crowd favourite - We hope you visit again very soon! Best Regards, Barrel & Bliss Team.

We had such a great experience at Barrel & Bliss. Tbh I couldn’t believe the variety & quality of dishes to choose from on the menu. Our lovely personable waiter Ben was extremely patient with us and all our questions 😀explaining what was in each dish as we just could not decide on what to order. Between the 3 of us we ordered 5 small share plates and 2 large plates which were perfect. I even tried the crocodile! It was similar to the best calamari I’ve eaten in Perth.
Barrel & BlissResponded on February 25, 2025
Hi Julie, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the variety on our menu and that Ben was able to make your experience even better - he's thrilled to hear you were happy with everything! Trying the crocodile is definitely something special, and we’re happy to hear you loved it! We look forward to welcoming you back for another great night at Barrel & Bliss. Sincerely, Barrel & Bliss Team.
