Barraka - Singapore

After looking at the wine connection (next door) disappointing selection and pricing of sparkling wine by the glass we stumbled across this tapas/Spanish restaurant next door. My expectations were fairly low but as they had two Cavas at 7 SGD per glass I was convinced to give it a try. We also ordered some different tapas for the table to share. The patatas bravas were acceptable,, the croquettes pretty good while the cheese and cold cuts can rather be skipped and the same goes for the padron peppers. In general the food is nothing to get excited about but as a snack when having a drink they are perfectly fine. The cavas were not the best I had but for this price it was a bargain. Nice outdoor setting and friendly service will encourage me to come back.

Second time here and very pleased with the food, drinks, service and ambience. They have a good variety on the menu that I'm sure will please most tastes. We stick to a Paleo diet and the Polo (grilled chicken breast and vegetables) hits the spot. The prawns and mushroom tapas dish was awesome as well. The entire menu is very Paleo friendly. The drinks are the cheapest we've found in town and they're good. I really enjoyed the traditional sangria. The food is also very reasonably priced. Our service tonight has been awesome. This has easily become a large player in my roster of go to restaurants.

I didn't try any of the food so I cannot comment on that. But Barraka is a nice casual hangout that serves a good selection of beer at fairly reasonable prices considering its central location. So how can you not like that? You do, however, have quite a lot of choices at robertson quay. So Barraka is not a bad choice but not exactly a standout choice with all the other restaurants and bars around.

Meh. We ate tapas which tasted generic. Some of the more expensive $20+ meat dishes were tasty but overcooked and dry. The drink was cheaper than average. The bill took 30 mins to process typical singapore only allowing one person to work the register so we left feeling our time was wasted. The manager Sam was disinterested, some would say rude. Will probably stick to wine connection next door some time. For good tapas I would recommend the place on Emerald hill and for excellent tapas I would recommend Catalunya on the waterfront by fullerton bay hotel.

Sucks! The staff manager of the place attitude!!! Yell at client and still say client yell at him. Please don't waste effort going.
