MENU

Ba Ba Lu Bar's dining room is very different during every part of the day. As the sun sets, the Moorish lanterns tattoo the walls with a soft glow of Moroccan patterns and the cool Latino tunes drift around you.

A carefully selected wine list with plenty of local specialties to choose from, as well as a smattering of Spanish wines.The bar is a welcome spot to meet and eat as you do in Spain.

Tapas and a wine, beer or cocktail, or outside on the terrace to enjoy the salt air. Ba Ba Lu is a wonderful meeting place to while away the hours.

We serve gluten free, lactose free, vegan food that is environmentally conscious, using as many local ingredients as available.

Monday on offering an express continental breakfast buffet from am till 11am for 10 dollars fresh fruit salad, yogurt, pastries and homemade jam  this is a great way for travellers to start the day or even locals.

Live music and Paella every Sunday night.
