Lamb Shakshouka Pizza
James S.

Unique open cavern atmosphere houses this festive and tasty place. I had been here years ago when it was a Greek restaurant, but finally made it to Bacari W 3rd. It can get loud (music bellows a bit at the beginning of the day) until the crowds absorb that sound. It also takes a bit of time for the full staff to appear as two servers were working the entire place for a bit too long. Bacari W 3rd is nonetheless highly recommended. It's fun to try a variety of dishes and land some very welcome flavors. The house cured olives with Marconi almonds are great, and go nicely with pretty much any beverage you can think of. The house baked baguette is something you think you can live without, but then you cave, and it's so worth it. A nice olive to go along with it, or dip it into the chili oil from the olives. Cold: the shrimp ceviche (citrus fennel vinaigrette, heirloom cherry tomatoes, cucumber, za'atar, sesame, sumac, lime chili chips = yum. Hot: The Bacari Burger is memorable - open-faced grass-fed beef, tomato, caramelized onion, Worcestershire aioli, telera roll and they throw an egg on it, too. Pizza: The lamb shakshouka pizza sounded adventurous enough to try, and I definitely liked it. The shakshouka appeared buried under arugula and hard boiled eggs, and was not as 'wet' as I expected. Still, it was enjoyable - and the crust had a great crispness. Desserts: The Malbi sounded quirky and irresistible, and it turned out to be a major win. Also enjoyed the bread pudding (clover honey custard, vanilla bean ice cream). The servers did a great job and deserve more support. At the start of a Saturday Brunch, there were only two staff on the floor and they were run pretty hard around the restaurant until more team members appeared. The music can be a bit loud - especially if you're near a speaker and/or the place is still filling up. Overall, fun place, cool vibe, delicious food.

Came back for dinner and every-time I come it is an amazing experience!!! Sam (Samuel) best server ever!! Took care of us the whole time and was very conscious of my friend's allergies.

My friend brought me here for a sunday birthday brunch. I've been to the one in Culver and I absolutely love it. This location is super cute. I love the layout way better than culver's. You walk through this long dark hallway and it opens up to the patio. The patio is amaizng because it's mostly covered by trees so the majority of the patio is shaded. On the right is their indoor area. I'd say the indoor area is slightly bigger than the outdoor but by not much. Now I went Sunday at 1:30P and it was packed. Luckily we made reservations. We got seated at the one table that was directly in the sun, but they were nice enough to move us. We ordered the following: Bacon Wrapped Dates: Enough said. Delicious! Brussel Sprouts: Super crispy.. the only way to eat them. But also, it's DOUSED with oil so sometimes it feels like your drinking oil Bacari Pancake: OMG this was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend. I'm not big on heavy butter, but their cardamom butter was sooooo goood. Crab Cake Benedict: This was doused with sauce. You couldn't even see the crab cake. I thought i was good. Just a LOT of sauce. I also got a cocktail. It was a vodka coffee cocktail. They always get their drinks right here. It's not too sweet. A good balance! Overall, food is solid. The reason why I give 4 stars rather than 5 is actually because of the atmosphere. As cute as this location is, I feel like they really try to cram as many tables as possible in this space. You're so close to the other tables, and it's hard to squeeze through to get in and out. Because of that, it's so loud in there. It felt like I had to talk over the people next to us, and service can be a little slow since all the servers are running around so much tending to so many tables.

Shawarma Tacos
Jasmine D.

My dad was in town for work so I brought him to Bacari for some delicious sharable dishes! We didn't have a reservation but were able to be seated immediately on a weekday evening, which was a pleasant surprise. I absolutely love the ambiance here! There's both indoor and outdoor patio seating - the patio is definitely the highlight. It's so beautiful with the tree cover above and feels like a magical, cozy courtyard. Service was great throughout our meal as well. The dishes are on the small size which is great for sharing and trying a variety of items! What we tried: - Scallop medallions: 3 scallops in a carrot parsnip puree with capers - the scallops were cooked perfectly - golden crisp on the outside and soft on the inside - Lamb hummus: this might have been my favorite!! A flavorful braised ground lamb paired with hummus and fresh pita and veggie pieces - Sea bass: pan seared sea bass (sooo soft and flaky!) with a savory corn, shredded cabbage, shallot, and aioli combination - Shawarma tacos: chicken sharwama, shredded cabbage, and pickled red onion tacos. Not bad but probably the one dish I could have skipped - Stuffed mushrooms: sooo yummy - mushrooms stuffed with a cheesy walnut pesto, just a perfectly savory - Glazed pork belly: so hearty! Perfectly glazed and seasoned pork belly

Bacari looks small and unassuming from the outside, but the inside has a beautiful courtyard patio with trees and hanging lights. It was very busy and you definitely need a reservation. Even with our rez, we still waited almost 20 minutes to be seated. The only other thing I did not like about this restaurant (and not much they can do to change it) is that there are only two bathrooms which get veryyyy busy and there is no room to stand and wait so you're kind of in the way the whole time. It's small dish style, so super fun to come with a group and try a bunch of different things. They had a ton of great options for vegetarians! It was a bit chilly outside but they have a lot of heated lamps on which helps a lot. I loved everything we ordered but I think my favorites (as a vegetarian) were the brussel sprouts, salatim, and the elote. The cashew pate and beet dip with the salatim were realllly good. The brussel sprouts were crispy and had a yummy sauce. The beet salad was good but I wanted it to have more of the goat cheese spread. The cauliflower was also really good - roasted and a little spicy. They had a fun list of cocktails and mocktails as well. The food came out at a good pace and I left feeling veryyy full. They were really sweet and even comped the dessert for our party which was very nice. We had the bread pudding and it was sooo good. I highly recommend eating here! It's an experience!

Rainbow Beets
Gab G.

Like comically bad. The food is sooo mid and service was pretty bad. We had a large group and a whole room to ourselves and the servers kept bumping our table, forgetting dishes, etc. Only halfway decent dishes were the rainbow beets appetizer and sea bass. The famed date cake was way too sweet.

A Hallway to Heaven possibly? We'll see what my date thinks....

Sometimes people get mad at you, through no fault of your own. Sure you can try reason and logic to remedy such situations but a person's emotions often trump such silly attempts. So what can one do when they are scoffed at for trying to think like an adult, instead of like a child? You bribe them, sometimes with money and other times, like tonight, with dinner and a good time. So that's how I found myself here at Bacari on W 3rd. Sure, the food is ok but it was the ambience that I needed tonight. Myself and 'The Angry One' were walked to our table in the garden just as the sun was starting to set for the night, highlighting the candlelight flames dancing along the walls. Her cold disposition was starting to melt away slowly but surely. We looked at our menu but I had been here before so I was not fooled by the prices of the dishes; the prices may be entree prices but this is a tapas restaurant. So I preceded to order 4-5 dishes.... just for myself. In a matter of minutes our small and intimate table was filled with shrimp ceviche, green falafel, caramelized cauliflower, shawarma tacos, scallop medallions, flat iron steak, bacari fries, a lamb shakshouka pizza, glazed pork belly and tripoline pasta to top it all off. I did most of the eating and to tell the truth I could have still gone for a bacon wrapped hotdog from the street vendor outside. Unsatisfied hunger aside, by the time dinner was done, that anger that was pointed directly at me like a nuclear missile had all but dissipated and I knew that by the end of the night, it will have completely been extinguished. Stay bribing people when logic and reason no longer work my friends....

Bacari is amazing. Christian was a really fantastic server. Really appreciated his suggestions for the desert. The "best cake ever" is the best desert I've ever had.

One of the vibiest LA restaurants. Great vibes and always stylish people! Wonderful place to have a taco Tuesday. Their service is very fast and good. Foods are tapas style, try as many as possible, everything is so flavorful and yummy. Even with reservation, there is still waiting, but totally worth it.

Potential for 5 stars but the food just takes insanely long to come out; it can be frustrating. Other than that, i love the spanish courtyard-esque ambiance. It's gorgeous inside but definitely very loud so probably not a first-date spot. Stuffed Mushrooms: BEST THING ANYONE CAN EVER EAT EVER. We got two rounds of them because they're just that good. They're filled with cheese & have this pesto garlic sauce on them it's just 100/10 Margarita Pizza: Pretty good pizza. Thin crust. comes hot & cheesy. i loved it. 7/10 The steak filet: So tender & comes with zucchini 10/10 Shrimp Ceviche: Served with fresh tortilla chips, the shrimp ceviche is pretty solid!! Very citrusy & fresh 8/10 Bread Pudding: It comes served so hot with nice cold vanilla ice cream on top. 7/10 I will be coming back FOR SURE.

First time here with a large group. Low parking options so I recommend valet. I also recommend reservations. This is a hidden gem. It is obvious by the crowds, this is a popular place. It is indoor/outdoor with natural kool vibe and ambiance. It is pretty loud though. Gender neutral bathrooms. Food is Tapas style. We got a ton of food and literally Everything we had was Amazing! Service was on point. We had the perfect person, "Justin" who took great care of all 7 of us. Never missed a beat, very friendly, courteous and attentive. Excellent customer service despite the countless other very busy tables he had. This was a great place to create memories. Thank Justin for making it GREAT!

Asian pear & Brie pizza
Madeleine B.

We came on a weekend evening and had no trouble making a reservation. It was quiet when we arrived at around 6, but by 7 it was busy and crazy loud. Definitely sit outside so you can hear everyone! They told us to order a couple dishes to share because portions are smaller, which is true. We ordered the noa's cauliflower, Asian pear & Brie pizza, and the shrimp ceviche. Maybe it was what we ordered, but nothing stood out to me. Food was meh, and it was super loud to the point where we left early because we couldn't hear each other. It's a trendy spot but neither the food nor ambience did it for me.

Chicken Schnitzel
Bridgette R.

Today I had the pleasure of eating at Bacari W 3rd. It's a cute restaurant and if you blink you will miss the entrance. The staff was nice and was rotating and helping at all tables and the food came out super fast, the Bacari Fries are a must try and the chicken schnitzel is very good. The drinks are good and the vibe in vibing

The plate also came with hummus and pita, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The hummus was smooth, rich, and perfect with the warm pita. Hermon helped recommend our food, cooked it, and even served us. She was so kind and made the whole experience feel really personal. She also offered us complimentary baklava, which was amazing. It had the most soft, chewy texture with just enough sweetness. When I asked her what the secret ingredient was, she just smiled and said she couldn't spoil it so you'll have to try it for yourself! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.
