Popped in while out on a sunny country drive just for a hot drink and a snack, huge selection of coffees and teas. Plenty to choose from in the cake and pastry cabinet. All day breakfast or the lunch menu looked good had we been hungrier. They also had available a small selection of local jams and spreads etc.

No critics on their food and wine but theft is intolerant. I left behind my purse, called 30 mins later, was told by a staff my purse had been put aside behind counter for me to pick up. Fine. Next day I went there, the purse was gone. The staff who answered my phone and helped keep my purse, poor guy, was so frustrated. He did the right thing but someone (possibly some coworker) let him down. BUT! No manager/boss came out to apologise or mention any compensation either. I eventually went to police. Well, this place probably serves nice food but really need a house cleaning done. To the thief who took the purse, enjoy the money and you will eventually get what you deserve.

The best lunch I have had for a very long time. The food was exquisite. I have eaten in London, I have eaten in Paris, I have eaten in Germany, just to name a few. But haven't enjoyed my food as I did this Sunday at the Baringo. Not only the food and beverages, but the service. With Andrew and Matt doing an exelent job and making for a very enjoyable afternoon.

I have been to baringo cafe a few times and the cakes and hot drinks have been lovely. We decided to give the lunch menu a go and unfortunately it was terrible! The soup was displayed as “spicy” and there was no spice whatsoever. There were also two small chicken bones in the soup and it was served with the frozen garlic bread you buy from the supermarket. The parmi was completely cold inside. The waffles were over cooked, my son struggled to get the fork through them. I was really looking forward to spring so I can sit outside with the lovely mount macedon views but unfortunately we won’t be going back.

We’d been to Baringo for brunch and enjoyed the food and ambience and checked out the bistro with a view to trying it out on the next special occasion. So, we were looking forward to a special dinner. The bistro is very pleasant and the wine list impressive and judging by the menu, the food should have been impressive too. Sadly, the overall impression was a of a kitchen trying hard but lacking consistency. The (3) charred Brisbane King Prawns on a chickpea purée were burnt on the outside, not just charred, but managed to also be lukewarm. The chickpea purée lacked seasoning and lacked taste full stop. On the other hand, the chill mussels were delicious and plentiful. Unfortunately, a couple of them were barely open (they shouldn’t have been served) and, against her better judgment, my wife ate them nontheless only to regret it later with a hasty visit to the bathroom as soon as we arrived back home and several repeat visits through the night. Her main dish of barramundi was perfectly cooked, tasty, and matched with a very pleasant crispy kale and beetroot salad. I went for the pork cutlet which was so over-cooked and dry to be almost inedible. Normally I would have sent such a dish back to the kitchen but, you know how it is, you’re out for a special occasion, you don’t want to cause a fuss, you don’t want your partner to eat whilst you wait for another dish etc so I put with it. That’s my mistake. We finished our main and left. We desperately wanted Baringo to be good so that we have another quality restaurant in the region but it was too hit and miss for us to risk another visit and another $200 for a poor two course meal for two. If it wasn’t for the ambience of the place and some of the food being good, I’d only give 1*.
