Baked At Ancora

The Verdict

Attached to the PLB Group’s wedding and events venue Ancora, this waterfront bakehouse is an absolute must do. 

Baked is the lovechild of head baker Gavin Rudd and local restaurateur Mark Wilson (of favourites Osteria, Taverna and Bombay Cricketers Club). Gavin has over 10 years’ experience and has worked in some of the most revered bakeries in the world, so you can expect to see plenty of amazing sweet creations on offer.

There's classics like freshly baked loaves and baguettes, flaky sausage rolls, pain au chocolate and brioche buttermilk glazed doughnuts, as well as some not-so-classic but oh-so-delicious creations such as chocolate praline tart with shortcut pastry and a dark chocolate filling, and the apple breton tarte tartin served with salted caramel chantilly cream.

On top of their freshly baked sweet and savoury treats, Baked also has a full a-la-carte breakfast and lunch menu, featuring everything from mascarpone scrambled eggs to pork belly milk bun burgers.
