Baro is a fabulous place for Sunday brunch. I was able to change my reservations the same day online. It's very fancy and upscale along King Street West.
I loved the decor of this place. Clean wooden tables and chairs. The choice of brown manus complement each other well. The tables had centre pieces of white and purple lilies which was so beautiful and elegant. There were green plants all over which was appreciated for clean fresh air. I also liked the cleanliness of the washrooms. Music was your standard top 40.
It's important to note that their brunch menu closes at 2:45pm. Our waitress was friendly and wished me a happy birthday because she saw it on the reservation details. That's nice customer service. She was very attentive.
Prices are very affordable for brunch here. A good sized plate costs around $17 on average. I ordered a decaf coffee with almond milk and sugar. I got no sugar and had to follow up. It would have been nice to get sugar with my coffee the first time around. I also had a pitcher of sangria. Oh boy, this was a strong pitcher. I definitely paid for what I asked for. Nice and chilled, it was perfect for brunch.
My main order was a side of yuca chips and chipotle mayo. I've never had yuca chips this way so it was interesting to eat. Yuca is a root vegetable similar to the family of sweet potatoes. It is grown in South America. It can be quite bland so flavouring is essential. It is mostly starchy. My main was the avocado toast. It only comes with one egg so clearly I ordered two eggs. It's only one slice of toast aka frono cultura as well. It was kind of small. Eggs only come poached well done or runny. This part of the dish was underwhelming. The avocado was like guacamole. It was tasty. The side salad was huge to say the least. It was an accompaniment of baby kale, arugula, spinach and lettuce: drizzled with walnuts. There was also a few slices of radish. It tasted alright.
Overall, I'll probably visit this place again but order something different on the menu.
