Med Barton

Med brings Eastern Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern influences to Barton’s Realm Precinct, drawing on Greek, Lebanese and Turkish cooking. The menu is built around fresh, seasonal produce, with charcoal cooking from a Josper grill adding a smoky edge to the restaurant’s take on flavours associated with Istanbul’s street food. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free choices are included across the menu, making it easier for groups with different dietary preferences to share a meal.

The offering is designed for grazing as well as larger plates. Dips and pide provide a starting point, while the menu includes dishes such as falafel with herb tahini, lamb kofte with toum and sumac onion, saganaki with lemon and oregano, and grilled southern calamari with nduja, smoked almond and chickpea. From the Josper oven, options include charcoal-roasted chicken, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, grilled barramundi and Wagyu beef shishlik. There are also vegetable-focused choices including roasted cauliflower with pomegranate and tahini, salt-baked beetroot salad, tabouli and pilaf rice with pistachio and grapes. Banquet menus offer a straightforward way to order for the table, with separate express, standard and vegetarian formats listed for lunch or dinner.

The restaurant’s design has a crafted, distinctive feel, with custom steel arches and Moroccan-inspired detailing. Alongside the main dining room, Med offers indoor and outdoor areas, including a terrace suited to cocktail receptions and group occasions. Its event spaces range from private dining for up to 14 seated guests to exclusive use for up to 90 seated, while the terrace can accommodate up to 50 standing. These options make it particularly relevant for celebrations, work gatherings and shared meals where the setting matters as much as the food.

Med is open for lunch from Tuesday to Friday and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday, with takeaway also available during specified lunch and evening periods. It suits diners looking for produce-led Mediterranean flavours, groups wanting to share a banquet, and hosts seeking a Barton venue with flexible private and event spaces. The address is 1 Burbury Close, Barton, within the Realm Precinct.
