Barbacoa was born from a simple idea of great food, brilliant drinks, and a place where people and their dogs feel genuinely welcome. 

Founded by Hayley & Drew, Barbacoa is an independent, passion driven restaurant in the heart of Cowbridge, which is built on a love for flavours, quality ingredients, and authentic cooking. We carefully select all our fresh produce to compliment our sourced wines, spirits, and cocktails.

Everything we serve has a purpose: flavour, quality, and experience.

They created Barbacoa to be more than just somewhere to eat. It’s a place to gather, unwind, and enjoy honest food made properly. No shortcuts, no compromises, just a dedication to doing things the right way.

As an independent business, heart and soul go into every detail.  The atmosphere, service, variety of music, and most importantly, the food and drink you enjoy.  We believe hospitality should feel personal, warm, and real.

Whether you’re joining us for a relaxed lunch, evening drinks, or a memorable dinner, Barbacoa is about sharing moments, creating memories, celebrating flavour, and bringing people together!
