Baraka

Antequera


Sombreros off to the brave staff at Baraka, who cross a busy road, trays loaded, risking life and limb to serve punters sitting in a little park opposite. Like all good Antequera restaurants, Baraka doesn’t stray far from excellent local nosh (porra antequerana calls loudly), although it does a nice sideline in pintxos (Basque tapas) and serves heavenly bread.
