At Bar Que Sera, food and wine are made to be shared — sparking conversation and memories. Our menu moves with the market and the seasons, offering vibrant small and large plates, snacks, sides and indulgent desserts.

Enjoy an indulgent dinner or drop in for Aperitivo — graze on cheese, cured meats and a glass (or two) of something remarkable.

Aperitivo, the Bar Que Sera Way

Every Wednesday to Sunday, we celebrate the art of Aperitivo — that golden hour between day and night, where drinks meet small bites and good company.

Settle in with a glass of wine, a spritz or a cocktail, and graze on a changing selection of Mediterranean snacks, cheeses and cured meats.
It’s unhurried, effortless, and the perfect way to begin (or end) your weekend.

Hours:
Wednesday to Sunday · 4 – 5 pm

Each month, Bar Que Sera hosts intimate events that celebrate the stories behind every glass and every plate.
