Walk through the doors to be treated and welcomed like family at Baro Restaurant on Point Nepean Road in Rosebud. This Mornington Peninsular dining destination is named after the Turkish word for ‘mate’ and that’s how you will feel when you pull up a chair and watch your food cook on the charcoal fire pit, which takes centre stage. Using fresh local produce while still aspiring to continue traditional Turkish influences, expect to start your culinary adventure with plates like char-grilled prawns or chicken ribs, moving onto mains like chicken shish skewers, served with mixed leaf salad, cacik, bread and sumac-coated onions. Perhaps char-grilled salmon or barramundi hit the mark with sides of tabouli, chips and mixed pickles, finishing sweetly with baklava and vanilla ice cream.
