Dhaka : German café chain Barock Café has opened a new location in Dhaka's Gulshan-2, adding another international-style café option to the capital's upscale dining scene.

The new outlet, at House 9/B on Road 51/53, was inaugurated on August 24. Barock Café CEO Jeannette Shek and Managing Director Badal Ahmed attended the opening ceremony.
