Authentic Mediterranean WinterMenu 2012

Restaurants around the Mediterranean are world renowned for producing the very best cuisine and dining experiences. From the simple taverna and ristorante in Greece and Italy to the finest restaurants in Nice and Marbella, the choice is endless and exciting. At Barts we have recreated a fantastic and mouth-watering variety of authentic dishes, right on your doorstep. The only thing we cant provide is the sea. The secret is that just like restaurants all around the Med, we are a family run business with a passion for delicious food, we only use the best and freshest ingredients and of course our chefs, David & Sonia, were born and raised surrounded by such fantastic food. They perfected their skills working at top London restaurants and have created an innovative menu that is a whirlwind tour of the Region for your enjoyment. Each dish is prepared individually to your order to suit your taste.

Our beef and lamb are sourced from British farms and we only use free-range chicken and eggs. We use sustainable native fish wherever possible and, to avoid air-freighting, we buy British seasonable fruit and vegetables. We are sure you will enjoy the dining experienced that is Bartss and, for a short time at least, imagine you are soaking up the atmosphere of warmer climes.
