About this restaurant

Innovative
Romantic
Neighborhood gem

In April of 2007 Chef Edgar Caro opened Baru Bistro & Tapas in the heart of the Garden District of New Orleans introducing a taste of the Caribbean on the merchant street of Magazine with the desire to interpret the traditional cuisine of the caribbean coast of Colombia and South America through fresh and local ingredients, Baru opened its doors as a tapas restaurant. Tapas are a tradition originating from Spain in which small portions are served on small plates, ideal for those who enjoy variety in their dining experience. Although Baru Bistro started out with very humble beginnings in a building previously an old grocery store, it didn’t take long for Baru to build a solid reputation for serving flavorful dishes with a unique twist.

Had an absolutely delicious meal at Baru for my birthday. Cocktails are great, staff helpful in making food selections, and the flavors of our dishes were truly wonderful. Try the Chimichuri Hanger steak it was fantastic!

We sat outside, and even though it was chilly, the nearby heater kept us comfortable. The server wore a mask the entire time and kept her distance, even when serving the food. Everything we had was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and nice presentations. The specialty cocktails were really good. I'd forgotten about this cute place, but will be back soon.

We enjoyed the Tapas, starting with the Guacabello an avocado and mushroom treat on a small tortilla, it was a wonderful mix of flavors. The Ostras fritas were the table favorite although the Chuzos de Carne were a close second for me.
