Baroque



Baroque has been opened since November 2009, in the beautiful historical suburb of the Rocks. Nestled in the Metcalfe building and showcasing a rough, industrial architecture, Baroque is the new sensation in Sydney. This bistro and patisserie offers fine, fresh French cuisine brilliantly prepared by world-renowned chefs.

Late Peter Chakros’ dream was to open a real bistro in Sydney – his wife Sally and sons Olivier and Jeremy have realised this dream by opening Baroque. This French family has been operating La Renaissance café, also in the Rocks, for over seventeen years offering top notch pastries, macarons and sandwiches to Sydney residents, tourists or homesick Frenchies. After having gained such experience in the Sydney market for French and fine food, the time had come to grow and offer even more.

The beautiful Baroque, in reference to the art movement, does the job. Classical French dishes as well as more modern cuisine can be found on the menu. The service is great and the food beautifully presented. Of course, the wine list is extensive and the selection is great – what would a French meal be without its wines? Few imported wines are on offer, but a majority are Australian, promoting our country’s amazing cellars.

In other words, French food amateur or not, if you are looking for a fancy yet down to earth culinary experience, Baroque is the place to be !
