Barrio, a restaurant with a Spanish name, but a more broadly Mediterranean menu located in the heritage-listed Ivanhoe fire station. Moody lights, dark nooks, great service, you get a complete dining experience without too much fuss, and some serious romantic atmosphere to boot. Booking is a good idea, especially for the weekends, but you might get lucky if you walk in on a week night. Owned and run by Paul Rae, formally of Bottega (Bourke St CBD) and Italy 1 (Camberwell), and with acclaimed chef Henry Honner running the kitchen, these guys know what they’re doing.
Barrio
Time Out says
Spanish for 'neighbourhood', Barrio is all about Mediterranean fare and casual dining
