About Baro

Baro cooks robust Turkish feasts over glowing coals along Rosebud's coastal stretch. Regulars look to the open kitchen for skewered Adana lamb, smoky chicken, and crisp house dips with warm bread—a welcome, savory departure from the usual seafood and pasta rounds on the Peninsula. Plates arrive piled high alongside seasoned chips and manti, winding down with strong Turkish coffee brewed in a copper djezve and poured tableside with sweet baklava.

  • Live Charcoal Grill: Skewers, kebabs, and prawns are cooked directly over open charcoal in full view of the dining room.
  • Traditional Djezve Coffee: Rich, aromatic coffee prepared in traditional copper pots and served alongside crisp baklava.
  • Generous Shared Feasts: Hearty spreads of smoky meats, trio of dips, and warm flatbread offered at fair coastal pricing.

Why Diners Choose Baro

Authentic charcoal grilling, generous Turkish hospitality, and a welcome alternative for Mornington Peninsula dining.

  • Smoky Open Charcoal Grilling

    Skewers, kebabs, and mixed grills are freshly prepared over real burning coals in full view of patrons, imparting genuine wood-smoke depth.

    The mixed grill, veggie skewers, and cevapi were grilled to perfection - juicy, flavourful and had a smoky flavour that you can only get from a real charcoal grill.

  • Peninsula Holiday Dining Alternative

    Visitors to Rosebud and coastal getaways discover a vibrant, hearty change of pace from standard beachside seafood and pizza menus.

    A change up from your usual seafood, pizza/pasta restaurants, this is a must try!

  • Reliable Destination Across the Coast

    Diners frequently make the trip from neighboring coastal towns for charcoal-grilled mains and accessible specials that stand out on the Peninsula.

    This is our third visit to Baro, over a couple of years, from Sorrento (which seems to have few affordable good restaurants).

  • Char grilled prawns

    Probably the best char grilled prawns I’ve ever had and the chips were addictively good!

    Kelvin Wong

  • Adana kebab

    All the kebabs are so incredibly tasty and well marinated and seasoned. My go to is the Adana and I get a skewer of the diced lamb on the side, other great option is to order the mix plus add a skewer of Adana.

Before you head over

Practical advice for reservations, timing, and ordering at Baro

  • Book ahead for dinner

    Tables fill up quickly during peak dinner hours and the summer holiday season. Reserve a couple of days in advance to secure a spot and avoid being turned away as a walk-in.

  • Allow time for charcoal cooking

    Every skewer and kebab is grilled fresh over live charcoal to order. Allow a little extra time for your dishes to come off the coals during busy services.

  • Ask about dietary adjustments

    The kitchen readily adapts dishes for special diets, including Low FODMAP requests and vegetarian choices, with adjustments like onions served on the side.
