Barbu, An Organic Tapas Restaurant
07/31/09 Filed in: Restaurants
I discovered a new restaurant while surfing through some organic food pages. Its called Barbu, and it is an organic tapas restaurant. Located in South Beach on the corner of West and 20th Street, it a small restaurant set up almost like a lounge. The decor is a mix of industrial meets contemporary meets Africa. There are a few table tops, one long snaking couch, and lots of stools. This is a BYOB joint with a $5 corking fee. The menu is a mix of items with a broad range of tastes to satisfy foodies to vegetarians.
I started with an avocado appetizer that was amazing. My friends had a pear soaked in balsamic and covered in blue cheese which was also full of flavor. I had a stew with squash, edamame, tofu, and lots of yummy flavor. So yummy that I actually had to take a piece of bread to get all the soup from the bowl, and I don’t eat bread! My husband had a dish with chorizos cooked in couscous. I didn’t try the sausage, but the couscous was rich and creamy.
Overall, a great new find. The food was full of flavor. There were a wide variety of choices to suit any palette. The atmosphere was easy and casual, and the service was good.
