Baroque Bistro

I have always heard that Baroque does very good desserts, so last weekend we went over to sample their desserts menu. We ended up getting their Chocolate mousse and their dessert sampler. The waiters were very helpful in giving us advise on what to order. It was amazing but I liked everyone of the little dessert they served to us. My favorite has got to be the chocolate mousse but even their creme brulee was amazing ! I would highly recommend going for the sampler plate if you have a large group to share, but otherwise any other menu item is just as good.

We've been faithful Baroque fans for years. Not only because we love La Renaissance, but because of the chic dining experiences. Okay, we're biased. We will never say no to either places and are absolutely in love with their desserts. Recently we watched pastry chef Jean Michel Raynaud perform the magic on stage at the SmoothFM's Festival of Chocolate, and we are smitten! Never mind the creativity, the quality of Baroque's sweet morsels are so top-notch that we are calling it: the BEST patisseries in Sydney are at The Rocks!

This is my go-to place for a weekend brunch, excellent experience every single time. Food is top notch, as in you can tell the quality is above average and the dishes are a bit innovative too, not your standard breakfast menu. Coffee's good and service always attentive. Also really like the decor here. Haven't got a bad word to say about Baroque. Haven't tried it for dinner yet but definitely planning to do that soon!

My wife found this restaurant online and for how it presented, we booked. Having gotten there on a cold and windy Saturday night, we were welcomed warmly and taken to our table set especially as we had our baby with us too. I loved the place from top to tail. I would normally have given it a full complement of 10/10 ratings, but my wife said that two very minor things were not perfect in her eyes. She prefers more modern designs to interiors instead or the wonderful eclectic feel that Baroque provides. And the food was fabulous, but did leave the smallest room for improvement. I would not hesitate one second to return here though. I found items on the menu that I'd been hoping to experience for years and was treated to such a skilled and great tasting preparation of them - brilliant! Desserts are the weakness if my wife and I; and all night we ... how it presented, we booked.

Desserts are the weakness if my wife and I; and all night we were eying off the pastry section of the kitchen and trying to choose what to indulge in. My choice of 'the pompadour' was one of the most delicious sweets I've ever had and so delicately constructed.

Baroque is a French cuisine restaurant that offers amazing food and are especially famous for their Macarons. Situated at the heart of The Rocks just near the Circular Quay ferry terminals, Baroque is extremely easy to reach with a beautiful view of the harbour. If you visit on Sundays, you can even partake in the Sunday markets that begins right next to the restaurant. If you do visit this restaurant, one simply must try their Macarons, their soft and crispy shells and delicious creme is simply to die for!

Baroque is a stylish Patisserie/Cafe by day and Bistro by night in the heart of Sydney's historic Rocks suburb. The friendly team serve a great breakfast, coffee with their own range of pastries and macaroons, lunch and evening meals. It is rightly recommended by Time Out magazine and although I haven't yet had the pleasure of the evening Bistro I expect it won't disappoint, although check the website for evening opening times as the Bistro is not open every night.

Marketed at casual fine dinning? casual as in sloppy and the only thing fine that day was the weather. Normally, I'm not a difficult customer, Baroque is not exactly cheap, small portions, ordinary service and antiquated payment system make this a brunch to forget. Can't charge those prices with such shitty service. 15 minutes wait to get out, I felt that they should have paid me for inconvenience. Pastry was their only saving grace otherwise would rate them a 1/5. Full review and photos on my blog.
