    We had such a great experience at Barrel & Bliss. Tbh I couldn’t believe the variety & quality of dishes to choose from on the menu. Our lovely personable waiter Ben was extremely patient with us and all our questions 😀explaining what was in each dish as we just could not decide on what to order. Between the 3 of us we ordered 5 small share plates and 2 large plates which were perfect. I even tried the crocodile! It was similar to the best calamari I’ve eaten in Perth.

Trying the crocodile is definitely something special, and we’re happy to hear you loved it! We look forward to welcoming you back for another great night at Barrel & Bliss.

    The food was suspect salty and also really small portions for their tapas meals. Kinda disappointed because they’re quite expensive for the portion sizes

    Our second dining experience here and the food was great. We ordered the barramundi and assumed we received it when the first dish was bought out. As my wife and I bit into the items we discovered it was the croquets not the barramundi (Both are deep fried, crumbed bites) We did bring this to the attention of the wait staff and they were perplexed on why this dish came out. It also ended up on the bill. I thought that's a bit rich but then we did eat it. No biggie but I do think it should not have been included on the bill.

    Another fabulous experience at Barrel & Bliss. We were escorted to our table by a friendly staff member who saw to our drink order. The food arrived quickly, and it was absolutely beautiful! We ordered from the menu and also decided to try a couple of the specials on offer. One was a ricotta and bacon tart and the other was crispy eggplant with molasses, Manchego cheese and pine nuts. My personal favourite was the eggplant as it was super crispy and tasty. The staff are extremely knowledgeable about what they serve and seem happy to be there to accommodate your needs. A top evening! Well done Barrel & Bliss.
