Casual bar/lounge/lunch and or dinner dining spot in BH. Great place to take a break after a long day of shopping or to grab some food quickly. Honestly didn't have much expectation but I stand corrected. Most orders were tapas portions (except the pizzas although still reasonably portioned) which allowed us to try several selections off the menu. Can't pick a favorite as they were all exceptional. And the drinks were also top notch. 1. Asian pear and Brie pizza: excellent. The leftovers were also just as exceptional. Flat bread pizza (6 small thin slices) topped with guava fromage, arugula, slices of Asian pears for the slight crunch and sweetness. Fantastic. Just order 2. Shawarma tacos: Smokey chicken with cabbage and pickled onions. Very good. 3. Tripoline Pasta: handmade pasta with pasilla pepper cream and romesco (to give it a creamy and nutty texture with a slight spicy kick). Phenomenal. Ended up ordering a second. A must order!!! Also had the love letter cocktail which was the best. Japanese whiskey with toasted marshmello garnish which gave it a sweet and Smokey flavor to the cocktail. Well done Bacari!!! Definitely another stop or two soon. read more

Went here to celebrate a birthday. They asked if there was an occasion for the dinner. We said we're there for a bday celebration. During dinner, we even asked the server what she recommends for a birthday dessert. The birthday dessert came out... but there was no candle. That was a little disappointing. The staff was good, otherwise. The food was pretty good. They love putting green onions in most of their plates. LOL I enjoyed sitting on the patio. The interior is too dark for my liking. Don't get an espresso martini here. It's not good! read more

I'm really disappointed with my experience at Bacari Beverly Hills on Friday night. My boyfriend and I chose to celebrate the fact that I had just finished my nursing term and passed, so it was supposed to be a special night. We had a reservation for 9:15 PM and arrived at 9:22 PM. After checking in, we still waited about 25 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. While delays can happen, things only got worse from there. Once seated, our server never introduced himself, and we didn't even know who our server was until he eventually came to take our order. After ordering, we waited over 40 minutes for our food to arrive. Throughout the meal, service was extremely slow and inattentive. No one checked in on us, asked if we wanted another round of drinks, or offered additional food. When we did want another drink, our server was nowhere to be found. I eventually had to get up from the table and look for him myself. By the time he came over, I was so frustrated that all I could ask for was boxes and the check. What made the experience even more disappointing was that this was supposed to be a celebration dinner, and instead we spent most of the evening waiting. We even noticed another guest in front of us complaining about the service, but we tried to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt. I've been to bacari before and have always enjoyed it, which is why this experience was so surprising. Unfortunately, the combination of the delayed seating, long food wait times, and lack of service left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope this was just an off night, but it definitely fell far below the level of hospitality I expected. read more

Food was absolutely amazing! Everything we tried was delicious and had a wealth of flavor. Definitely a place where you should get a lot of things to share. Service was excellent but definitely slow for the amount of people that were in the restaurant. Definitely recommend for a night with friends or date night. read more

When Bacari opened in the valley, I was intrigued to see how it compares to the location in Beverly Hills. What better way to find out than a brunch resy for Mother's Day. This location is at the corner of Brighton Way and N Camden Drive. They only do valet for dinner so it's going to be street parking but there's a parking structure around the corner next to Marea. They were definitely busy given it's Sunday and on Mother's Day but our server made sure we were taken care of. If you're not familiar, Bacari does Mediterranean Small Plates family style. For a party of 4, we got 6 plates and it was more than enough. The Beverly Hills location is a definitely a vibe and I recommend to sit outside especially if going for brunch. Also if anyone asks, it's pronounced bah-ka-ree. read more

i went here for my birthday last night and let me tell you, i had a freaking TIME bacari is such a beautiful place. i love the ambiance, the interior, and all the whimsical decor around the restaurant. i literally love coming here for pictures, and i'm so glad i got to celebrate my birthday here and take photos with all my friends we came for the late night open bar, so we had the full 90 minutes. we got there around 9:15 pm and stayed until closing, and even though it was late, the service was still really nice. they kept making sure we had our drinks throughout the night, which i appreciated we also ordered some pizzas for the table and some baguettes to soak up the alcohol while we were drinking, and both were really good and honestly very necessary lol. i'd definitely recommend getting at least the bread if you come for the open bar. i loved the roasted garlic they put inside so much that i literally ate the whole clove anyways, i had such a great time. thank you guys so much for having me and my friends i can't wait to come back to bacari read more

This is not my first time at bacari but this is my first time at this location. The food is always 10 out of 10. I love that I can try vegan and vegetarian options and love it as much as I love the others because the flavor is so good. Service was good though. They forgot about us a couple of times because it got hectic. And you can't go wrong being that close to rodeo drive so the ambiance was there. Would definitely go again. read more

Hands down, this is the BEST Bacari I have ever been to! None of the other locations come close to having such an amazing staff as this Beverly Hills location. Our waitress, Moe, was kind, patient, and honestly one of the sweetest people ever! She spoke so highly about how much she loves working there and how great her manager, Leah, is. Moe never missed a beat -- she was attentive, reliable, and always responsive to our needs. Hearing an employee genuinely praise their work environment is rare, especially in the restaurant industry! Now, Leah was incredible! I had no idea she was the manager because she worked right alongside the team with such humility. She personally walked us to our table and had the warmest, most welcoming demeanor. She was friendly, attentive, and accommodating to everyone's needs. I also want to mention the hostess -- I didn't catch her name, but she was a very kind young lady as well. The food was absolutely delicious and came out surprisingly fast for such a packed restaurant. Cheers to the kitchen staff, too! And honestly, one thing I can say about Bacari is that the food has always been consistently good. I truly think the other Bacari locations could learn a thing or two from this one! I say that because I haven't always had the best experiences at the other locations. Thank you, Moe, Leah, and the entire team for giving my mom, dad, and me such a dream Mother's Day brunch experience! read more

I went to Bacari Beverly Hills and it didn't at all disappoint. Our group was seated quickly on a Sunday night. We were wanting to eat from the dine LA menu but it wasn't very exciting so we decided to choose dishes from the regular menu. I had the Little Gem Salad and chicken sliders. Everything was well seasoned and overall tasty. For the cocktail, I had the Love Letter. This was a standout drink! It's a whiskey based cocktail but the passionfruit gave it a fruity touch. It's made with honeyed whiskey, passionfruit, lemon and a toasted marshmallow garnish. Yuri was our server and she took great care of us. Her recommendations were on point. read more

Bacari in Beverly Hills is a charming spot with a great vibe and solid Italian inspired food. The menu is perfect for sharing the portions are intentionally small, which I actually loved because it lets you order several different dishes and try a bit of everything without getting stuffed. Great for a date night or a relaxed dinner with friends. Highly recommend if you enjoy tasting menus-style dining without the formality." read more

This was a great restaurant, literally so close to all the beautiful stores in Beverly Hills. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The plates are all shareable, but a great size. We ordered the Barada and a beet salad. We also ordered the steak, which was the perfect amount for one person. We shared everything and we were very satisfied. They also make a delicious refresher with pineapple that doesn't contain alcohol. The ambience of the restaurant is great and if you can sit outside, you can people watch. Highly recommend in the prices are not too bad. read more

We came here for dinner after getting our court wedding ceremony. We had no reservations but luckily it wasn't too busy. SERVICE - 5 STARS My husband and I were dressed up so the staff immediately asked if we had just gotten married. When we said yes they brought us out a glass of champagne for each person at the table to celebrate it was a really nice touch. The food is always great at Bacari. 5 STARS We tried the following: Ceviche - 4 STARS - Fresh, nice portion, felt a little Americanized and wish it had a little more shrimp. The chips it came with were very good Watermelon Salad - 5 STARS - super fresh, it was perfect for the hot day Octopus - 5 STARS - cooked perfectly, really loved the veggies it came with and the yuzu vinaigrette was light and delicious Fried Chicken Sliders - 5 STARS - Really good the perfect bite size. The chicken was juicy and thick and the aoli sauce paired well with the bun and slaw Shawarma Tacos - 4 STARS - Really good with lots of meat but just a little dry Mac n Cheese - 4 STARS - good but nothing over the top Glazed Pork Belly - 5 STARS - really soft and tender, the glaze on it was sweet and tangy Brussel Sprouts - 5 STARS - can't really go wrong here. Everything on it was great. I l loved that they didn't add too much of the sauce so they were easy to enjoy They gave us free dessert which I think was the bread pudding with ice cream which was delicious. Overall we had a great wedding celebration dinner here. read more

Food 4/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 4/5 I've been to another Bacari location before, but this one in Beverly Hills seemed more vibey. I chose this location intentionally because it's walking distance to Jeni's, where I planned to get dessert. Bacari is a tapas style restaurant where you order several plates per person and share with the table. It's not actually tapas though since the dishes are all American, not Spanish, but they're all small plates. There were awkward moments when we'd order dishes like the scallop medallions and it would only have 3 bites on there when we have 5 people on the table. Service was great, as there was someone (Connor) assigned to you that you can text for any special requests or changes to the reservation on the day of. We'd originally reserved for 3 people, but changed it to 5 people last minute and they were very accommodating so 5 stars for service. Now, onto the food: For appetizers, we ordered the Salatim plate (5/5) and the lamb hummus (4/5). The pita is the warmest / fluffiest and to die for. For hot tapas, we ordered the scallop medallions (3/5), chicken schnitzel (4/5), moroccan cigar (4/5), brie & pear pizza (4/5), smoked mushrooms pizza (4/5), and the stuffed mushrooms (4/5). It was a busy night but our food came out fast and service didn't disappoint, before and during our meal. Would return with friends again! read more

Our waitress Janine, was AMAZING!!! She was fun and bubbly and was super fast. The food was good, I ordered some other dishes but forgot to take pictures. I wouldn't say food is amazingly different, it's good for what it is. Price wise it keeps up with the neighborhood. Plates go $15-$30 a plate, it's tapas style so "personally think" you need at least 3-4 plates for two poeple. We ordered a bottle of Sancerre but it was a bit more sour than I'm used to but still decent. All in all, location is good. It seems the other reviews complain about service but for me our experience with our server (Janine) was AMAZING. Ambiance, is cute and tucked away in a side street off the main Beverly Hills street. The restaurant is slightly "tight", meaning chairs were a bit closer together than I'd like but I understand the business needs to make money too so I didn't find it too much of a bother. read more

My first visit and I really enjoyed my culinary eating tour at Bacari! Started with little gem salad, Burrata, sea bass, lamb hummus, chicken, mushroom pizza, Brussels sprouts, tripoline pasta. My favs were the seabass, Brussels sprouts and lamb hummus - must order! Service - a little slow in the beginning but was better when I mentioned that all the food can be brought out asap. Lots of hungry women at my table! The manager was so accommodating. Ambiance- I'm glad I chose the outdoor seating- beautiful evening in Beverly Hills. Can't wait to return to try different tapas! read more

Bacari never disappoints. This was my first visit to this location. I've only ever gone to the one closest to where I live which is the branch on 3rd St. I came in on a Sunday with my two nieces for the dineLA lunch option. You get two options from the shareable plates and one dessert. An amazing deal for $35 We shared the following items: Brussels sprouts Corn Broccoli Pasta Salmon Pork chops First off, thank god I said to bring the dishes out as they became ready instead of having them dropped off at the same time. We basically got a dish every maybe 5 or so minutes. This gave us the perfect amount of time to get a serving transferred from the bowl/plate to our smaller plate. By the time we got our bites in, we had a few minutes to digest then another plate would get dropped off. Every dish was exceptional. It kept getting better which was evident by how empty each plate/bowl was by the time it was collected from our table. We were proper full by the time the last dish, the salmon, was dropped off. My personal favorite was the elote. The balance of flavors was 10/10. It had just the right amount of spice. The chops was also fuego. The vibe outside was fun. I kept telling my nieces. I felt like I was in Europe. We ended up being seated in the patio area that overlooks a major intersection so there was a ton of foot traffic aka free entertainment. read more

We started our day in Beverly Hills with brunch, eager to try this Bacari location. Let me first start with parking -- It's BH so unless the stars align for you on a busy weekend to snag nearby street parking, you'll have to go to a structure. We opted for the one closest to Bacari, which was at the higher price point ($3.95/15 mins with a daily max of $30.80). The structure was modern, clean, temperature controlled and staffed by a super-friendly, helpful valet guy. We were spending the day, so we knew we would be paying the max. Now for Bacari BH -- We received a text from Connor at 10am to confirm our reservation and to let us know that they would do their best to help should we happen to run late. That was nice. We arrived on time and were seated at a table just inside of the patio. It was a perfect central spot to enjoy the cool breeze, while away enough from direct sunlight, the busy sidewalk and traffic noise. We ordered our favorites -- Egg Pizza, Lamb Hummus (+extra pita) and Crab Cake. We always like to try something new, so our daughter chose the Tripoline Pasta. For dessert -- Bread Pudding (the husband's favorite) and Pistachio Crèmeschnitte (first time). Our usuals were as expected -- SO GOOD and satisfying! The Tripoline Pasta was delicious! The homemade pasta was tender and covered in that amazing sauce. We used the rest of our pita to scrape every bit of it. The Pistachio Crèmeschnitte was tasty enough, but not sure if we would order it again. The Bread Pudding however -- absolutely perfect at this location! (I still miss the Feta Filo -- PLEASE bring it back!) Service was great from the entire team. Our items were paced out nicely, with dirty dishes cleared and drinks refilled when needed. We appreciated that our plates and utensils were changed for dessert. This did not happen at any other location. The ambiance is nice, second to Silverlake which is still the best (IMO). We'll be back. :) read more

We had a gathering of old friends there. The drinks were mediocre and bartenders were not too nice for working on tips. We were told constantly to move out of the way - in the bar area!- since they had a table to seat people to eat dinner. Why would you have tables right where people need to stand to drink at the Bar so close! The experience was eh. read more

Everything is amazing! From the host, to the servers to the food!!! It was a good experience overall!

Got a table in the patio area. There were several tables outside. I ordered the Margarita pizzas, grilled octopus and shrimp ceviche to share. The food here is served as tapas and are good to share. The Margarita pizza was good. My sister ordered the burrata which had pesto. I added some pasta to the Margarita it elevated the pizza. It was so good with the pesto (5/5). Without it, was just okay (3/5) The grilled octopus was good, not overcooked. I added some lemon to add some acidity to it (3.5/5) I loved the shrimp ceviche. Good acidity and tastes really fresh. Recommend it on a warm day. (5/5) read more

Parking was definitely the trickiest part of the night. After circling a few times and finally snagging a spot a little farther away, we walked over. The moment we stepped onto the patio, it was worth it. I've been to their other location, but this one by far is the cutest. The space feels warm and inviting with soft string lights, plants tucked in every corner, and a relaxed energy that makes you want to linger. Our waitress was so kind and made great recommendations. We started with the Bacari fries topped with the chef's BCN sauce and a fried egg. They were perfectly crispy, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the egg brought everything together in the best way. The salmon was the star of the night--beautifully pan-seared with a crunchy walnut crust that gave way to perfectly tender fish. The tomato rouille added a nice brightness, and the garlic herb bulgar rounded out the plate. Every bite felt balanced and fresh. The sides were just as memorable. The cauliflower had a smoky kick from the chipotle sauce and a deep caramelized flavor. The Brussels sprouts with pomegranate molasses had a sweet-tart glaze that kept me going back for more, and the julienne beets added a fresh pop of color and crunch. Overall, the food was creative and delicious, the patio was absolutely charming, and the service was excellent. The only small downside was the parking, but this location is so beautiful that it's worth the extra effort. read more

Love this restaurant, second time here. They are so extremely friendly, and so it's a blend of hipness and warmth and deliciousness, at a reasonable price, in a neighborhood where that combo is scarce! I had the Seabass again because it is delicious. My friend and I also tried the brussels sprouts which were super tasty, as well as the cauliflower, which is amazing (I thought about getting it last time I came but we were ordering too many other things!). Madison was a great server and let me try two different wines, both the Freya Chardonnay and the house rosé were delicious but I picked the former. All of our food was yummy, but the big start of the night was the malabi dessert. Coconut, rosewater pudding with candied pistachios. Heavenly! Not sure when I'll be back in LA again, but I hope coming to Bacari BH will be part of the trip. (shout out also to Ahmed who was my server last time I came. He was working tonight too although we weren't in his section. But when I couldn't find my napkin, which had fallen off my lap, he walked by and without missing a beat handed me a new one. Love this place!) read more

Got to check out Bacari the other day and I had a good experience, Dennis the bartender was amazing, very attentive and sweet. Our cocktails were beautiful and perfectly balanced. We also had some snacks and the food was delicious. I tried the mac and cheese, the Asian pear and Brie pizza, the glazed pork belly (which, in my opinion, I thought, the glaze was just a tad strong but the lemons helped and it was still really good, and I also tried the lamb hummus which I was surprised I liked as much as I did. The restaurant is really cozy and cute inside, date like vibes. As for the parking, it can be a little difficult since there is only metered parking or a parking structure in the area. I'm still curious about the rest of the menu because there were still a lot of things that sounded interesting so if not this one I'll def be checking out another Bacari at some point. read more

Had the most amazing lunch at this bacari location. Ahmad and Paige took excellent care of us. They were very kind, attentive, and helpful. We split the burrata caprese, shrimp ceviche, and the crudo. Everything was delicious and flavorful. We tried multiple different drinks which were excellent. The love letter drink was SO good. We stayed for over two hours and each staff member we interacted with was so friendly. It was too hot to sit outside but inside was nicely air conditioned. read more

They have a new prix fixe lunch special for $37 for three courses and it is a great deal! I got the lamb chops, which might've been the best lamb I've had in years, and I eat lamb quite often! The service was incredibly slow and lunch took almost 2 hours, but we had a nice conversation so I am not sure that I am complaining. The tables are quite worn, and it is a little bit noisy there, but the napkins were very high-quality at plentiful and they reset the silverware and plates for each of the three courses read more

This place is right down the street from my job and we've been waiting moths for it to open. I finally had the chance to try it out today and the food was amazing! Everything is tapas style so ordering two or three meals is the way to go. The portions are small allowing you to try several different dishes if by yourself, or you can share with your party if with a group of people. I ordered the shawarma tacos, sea bass and a strawberry Arnold Palmer. I was starving, so I was contemplating ordering another dish but decided to try the cake drenched in caramel and bacon topping. My first server was cool but wasn't that personable. He came to my table about 10 minutes after seating me and taking my order to let me know his coworker would be taking over and she was awesome!! She's actually the one that recommended the cake and now I'm hooked lol. Overall, I'll go back for lunch, however, it's a bit expensive for what I can get from other restaurants around. It's a cool place to go if you want something different. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros read more

It's on one of the quieter corners just a block away from the really touristy spots. Great indoor/outdoor space with plenty of pleasant patio seating. I think the menus are mostly the same as the other locations, with different menu for weekend brunch. The brunch chilaquiles is awesome, as is the fluffy French toast. The pancakes were also surprisingly good for what I expected. The cauliflower is a great app, as are the beets. They have good vegetarian dishes like squash and the mujadara which are flavorful without being over-the-top. The beef bureka is soft and savory. The grilled pita with beef is similar, but saltier and firmer. Two of my faves are the lamb humus and the beef cheeks. I've already been here 3-4 times. It's nice mid-week as it's easy going and not too crowded. There's valet parking, but also public parking structures and street parking. read more

I'm so impressed with Baccari Beverly Hills! The service is nothing short of amazing and the food is inventive, fresh and absolutely delicious! Parking can be a little challenging but when is parking not a problem in LA? Their plates are small, so be warned that if you want to eat family style, which I always do, you may have to order two or more of the same dishes. We were a party of five and ordered mostly 2 orders of everything except salad. And we only did 1 order of salad because we did two salads and all the boys were against salad HAH The standout dishes for us were the octopus, the watermelon salad, and the best dessert! Seriously don't skip out on dessert here! I'm normally not a dessert person but I had just one bite of that cake and it was divine. Definitely will be back when I'm in Beverly Hills again! read more
