"OMG! On holiday for a couple of days in the area, and found this place on the Happy Cow app. If this was the only place I visited the entire trip would have been well worth it. The food is amazing, the range, variety. AND ALL VEGAN! We had two of the salad bowls one with salad, mushrooms, roasted veg, seitan pieces jalapeños and one with salad coleslaw, pickled red cabbage, feta, and fried onion pieces both with ranch dressing. AMAZING! Very impressed."

"Bacaro is situated in Ocean village and it is a little gem of a place. It is tastefully decorated for a chilled and relaxing time that you will have. There is both a restaurant and bar area and you feel at ease in the place !! Anyway upon arrival you are always greeted with a smile by the happy bar staff which is always lovely I have always loved this place but I would only give a top rating if it deserved it and not through loyalty !! Tonight I had arancini, crayfish linguine and garlic bread, washed down with a lovely glass of house red. The arancini are just the best I have ever tasted, they are both filling but light, the taste is a joy for the taste buds and obviously highly recommended. The linguine is a good portion, I love the flavours and the way the dish is both cooked and presented, the crayfish has a subtle flavour and I never leave any of it. The garlic bread is filling and not dry, they don't skimp on the garlic butter I can't fault the food at all and never have done this is mainly due to the sublime cooking skills from the chefs Greg, Alex and all the wonderful kitchen staff. Bacaro is expertly run the effervescent manager Sophie, for the job you do and how you run Bacaro I tip my hat to you Sophie is well backed up by Matt, Eleanor, Conor, Sindija and all the other wonderful staff ... You make the place and we are grateful for the brilliant jobs you do Very highly recommend"

"We would like to express our sincere gratitude for allowing us to host our wedding reception at the Thai Corner. We cannot even begin to describe how amazing everything was. The tables, decorations, and ambiance were simply stunning. And the food? Absolutely delicious - every single bite was devoured! You truly exceeded our expectations and we were left speechless. A simple "thank you" does not suffice to show our appreciation. Both of you are wonderful people whom we are lucky to consider our friends. Special thanks to Charlie Finn for his incredible contributions as well. You all made our wedding day even more memorable and special. With lots of love, Andy and Carmen."

"Found this gem of a restaurant by chance while working away. I'm here for a few days but I've been twice this week already as it has been so wonderful. (I missed last night due to work). Tonight was the best calamari ever, followed by the king prawn linguini (Pictured).... I didn't want this dish to end as it was so lovely. Staff are amazing too, (thanks Anna and Adriana in particular). The food is stunningly nice and meeting George the boss (and headchef) who paid all the guests a visit too was for me ace and shows someone who is passionate about what they do, as well as great customer care. I will be back without a doubt as one of the best.... anywhere."
