Reviews Summary

Restaurante Barbarossa is praised for its imaginative and tasty dishes, with unique creations like 'Sea ham' and delightful desserts. The art nouveau decor and attentive service contribute to a pleasant atmosphere. While most reviews are positive, some mention occasional pacing issues with service or dishes being too salty or oily.

"A beautiful interior design in the historical architecture base with good service and tasty food restaurant. We order:
Foie gras, tuna sashimi and rib eyes. Dessert: pistachio cake with ice cream.
All good and must come back one day!"

"By far this is the most eclectic restaurant we’ve been. The atmosphere was fun and unique. The plates had cute sketches of animals in hats. The tables were nicely separated so you didn’t feel like you were sitting with others.
The food was unique and quite tasty.
The only thing we didn’t like is how the bartender, who took our order as we were first to arrive, recommended doubling up on the appetizers. As you can see from the photos this was too much food. We asked the waiter about it later and he said they are required to double it for the “economics”. Something must be lost in our translation.
We scaled back the rest of our dinner which was disappointing as we wanted to try more of the menu.
Would highly recommend dining here while in Merida!"

"Very pleasant restaurant with a lovely art nouveau deco and really lovely crockery. The first starter arrived really fast, but then the serving stalled.
When it arrived, though, the “Sea ham” was absolutely awesome, like Iberian ham but made of tuna. We also really enjoyed the wok, made of calamari tagliatelle with other veggies imitating vermicelli. Finally we had fried eggs with mussels, although the dish is gigantic and we had a hard time finishing it."
