First time coming to Candy, nice decor and in a great location - very close to the Xmas market.
The meal deal is great value, but the food and drink is cheap and cheerful. It is not somewhere you would go for quality cocktails and food, but it does have a good range of drinks at a cheap price.
I didn’t find the staff very welcoming however, which is what affects this review for me. The first time I popped in was to try and get a walk-in table but they were fully booked. The woman working asked if we had booked and then just said “you need to book” and walked away, so we were left to see ourselves out.
I made sure to book for my visit today (3 days after the original walk-in) which wasn’t necessary in the end as the place was empty when we got there for 12pm. It’s clear it is a busy place for cocktails in the evening, but I didn’t realise how popular it was that booking was required for 2 people.
I also went to order the loaded fries, but after the order was processed, the waitress came back to tell me that they cannot currently serve any food with oil as they have no oil for the fryer. This felt really unprofessional and seemed more of a diversion to not turn the fryer on for midday.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Baruno with my family on Wednesday, November 6th, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish! Despite it being a quiet evening, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and their attentive service truly enhanced our visit. ❤️
Now, let's talk about the food! The quality was absolutely top-notch, with every dish bursting with flavor. We were all impressed by the creativity and freshness of the ingredients, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the exceptional dining experience we received. It’s a rarity to find such great value without compromising on quality!
To top it all off, Baruno was playing the best music, which created a lively and enjoyable ambiance. I even caught my mum and son dancing along to a few songs, which added an extra layer of joy to our evening. It’s not every day that a restaurant can bring a family together like that!
Overall, I can’t recommend Baruno enough. We left feeling satisfied and happy, and I can’t wait to visit again soon. If you’re looking for a fantastic dining experience with delicious food, great drinks, and a welcoming vibe, Baruno is the...
