Bardea Food & Drink

It would be impossible not to compare Bardea to a Michelin star restaurant, in my opinion. The menu is divine, unique, and clearly put together with love. It stands out from the rest of the pub faire Market Street by miles. The staff is attentive and starts by asking if there are any food allergies (like gluten free or vegan), or making recommendations etc. When you are served, the staff present the dishes carefully and cleanly. Also, the food is just fantastic. I have never had a dish where I didn’t go “oh wow that’s really good.” An absolutely perfect spot for a business dinner or fancy date night!

Five Stars! Excellent food, service, atmosphere, clean bathrooms, great vibe. Extra points for the gluten-free fried calamari with a dedicated GF fryer. It was off the charts!

My husband and I had a fantastic dinner at Bardea last night. This truly is upscale dining at its best! As starters, we had the octopus taco and the fried calamari (fried in a separate fryer so it is safe for those of you who are gluten intolerant). Both were to die for! The presentation of the octopus taco was superb. Next we had the diver scallop in green curry and the lamb osso bucco. The scallops were cooked to perfection and the green curry sauce was heavenly. The lamb was a surprisingly bold contrast with the other dishes. Finally my husband had crab tagliatelle (I could not have it since I am gluten intolerant) and he said that too was wonderful. I had the corn rotolini (the chef made a glutenfree version of it for me) and I would say: if there is anything you eat at Bardea, it has to be this! If you are gluten intolerant, this is a great restaurant to try! Apparently, the chef is gluten as intolerant so there is quite a wide selection of dishes that are safe to eat! Please know that the pasta dishes are small so you should order at least one other plate to accompany your pasta dish. Finally, we wine selection is amazing. If you are looking for an awesome dining experience, this place will deliver!
