From the greeting we knew it would be a great evening. The staff felt like family & welcomed us from the first our first step into this beautiful setting restaurant. We had focaccia, traditional salt & rosemary which reminded me of my Nonna's when I was young. Excellent wine selection too. We also had the calamari as a side dish. Our main meal was the famous caccio & Pepe & squash agnolotti in a buttery sage sauce. Both dishes were well portioned not to over stuff us. We even had place for an excellent carrot cake with some caramel on top. My wife & I totally enjoyed & wish to share this culinary establishment. The entire team there were looked very proud of their work & food. I would give 6 stars for service if possible.

Food was good (high quality, small portions) but service was not the best. We spent most of the night trying to get our waiters attention any time we wanted to order food/drinks. It's weird bc our plates were changed quickly after eating but our waiter was really no where to be found most of the night. Once our food arrived it looked like it had been sitting under a heating lamp for a long time - lukewarm in the middle. My latte arrived kinda cold. Wanted to order more but the kitchen was closed (which we werent informed before). Like everyone was polite but I think they are understaffed with servers. We loved the burrata & the tomato foccacia. They clearly use high quality ingredients bc the olive oil & tomatoes were delicious. Our beef onglet was perfectly cooked. Enjoyed the vermouth selection. We'd come back for sure but only if we have a lot of time to wait.

overall cute & cozy vibes with a great wine selection! Our go-to wine night spot!

I love Barbara. The vibes are immaculate. The food quality is sometimes inconsistent, but overall always satisfied. The wine selection is great & delicious.

Their focaccia (ricotta & miel) is delicious. Very hip place. Great for lunch & also dinner with an amazing selection of privately imported wine!
Nora
We enjoyed our selections & the atmosphere. We had the pistachio latte, Caesar salad, fried mozzarella sandwich & two of the pasta dishes. We especially liked the pistachio lattes, Caesar salad (seriously the best I've had) & the fried mozzarella sandwich. Service was slow, but the hostess did tell us upfront they were short-staffed. We were impressed. We will come back.

Superbe sélection de vins, service impeccable & tous les plats étaient parfaitement préparés, savoureux!

I'd come back! Caccio e pepe was too salty to my liking so I couldn't finish it, but good wine selection & love the vibe!
Una
The service was outstanding! The servers were very happy to bring a different selection & recommendation of wine when I didn't like the first choice I had made. The food was pretty good. The atmosphere & vibes were fun even if you were waiting for a table!

Had a wonderful meal at this beautiful establishment. The wine selection was vast. The beer prices inexpensive. The service very friendly but on the slow side. The food seas excellent, enjoyed the calamari & the Campanelle pasta & both were excellent. If the food came out a little quicker it would have been a perfect visit. Pricing very very reasonable for a restaurant like this

This place... amazing! The selection of wines was great, not much by the glass but very cool & funky bottles available. It was super busy when we got there but we managed to get a glass of wine while we waited & the time flew by. Once seated our server was amazing, super friendly, open to let us try out French & with great suggestions. Everything was delicious but the service is what made this experience a 10/10. The cacio & pepe was really good but the white bolognese was the star of the night for us! Delicious olives & focaccia as well! Super cute, vibey place, i would go weekly if I lived in Montreal.

Great selection of wines (they even had orange wine!). The ambiance was nice & it was a nice place to get drinks at night. Oysters were pretty good & so was the focaccia.

Just everything! They got coffee, they got brunch, they got focaccia, they got pasta, they got a great selection of wine, it's all great, you can't go wrong really - A no fail eatery for all occasions. Quickly became a favorite of the neighborhood. Doesn't hurt that they have welcoming interiors & a terrasse in the warmer months!
Sabrina
Food is excellent & they have a great wine selection. Staff is really nice too

Je suis tombée ici par hasard & j'ai adoré, que ce soit l'ambiance ou les choix à la carte. J'ai juste pris le sandwich focaccia à la mortadelle & fior di latte qui était parfait. La sélection des vins est original ici j'ai pris un pétillant de Loire qui était top. Le latte est aussi bon, on ne s'y attend pas forcément puisque ce n'est pas non plus un café

One of the best Italian restaurant in St-Henri. Nice options for everyone & good wine/drinks selection. It's a bit pricy but it's worth it. Staff are lovely & the outdoor sitting give a nice relax vibe.

I've been there to breakfast twice now. A really good experience across the board. Food is always fresh & tasty. You can tell they make everything by hand the flavours are simple yet efficient & seasoned enough! The waiters were kind, caring & funny. They have a wide selection of wines. Their chai latte is spot on! Food is always fresh & the placenis really clean! It was a little cold in there today, must admit it's minus 15 outside. Definitely drop by for a nice simple unpretentious but elevated breakfast

I have been to BarBara a few times & the food is always as good, fresh & tasty! The staff is very friendly, the ambiance of the place is cozy & lovely. What I also like is that's it doubles as a café during the day so you can also drop by for a quick coffee or matcha break. A bit of a side note, but their matcha lattes hot or iced are very well prepared & taste very good. I always like to bring my friends here, the price is very reasonable & some side dishes can definitely be shared. I would say some of my favorite items are the arancini, the burrata & the cacio e pepe. They have a good wine & alcohol selection as well. Just a few things to consider is that they do not take reservations so you have to be there early on typical weekend evenings because you might have to wait for a little while. However, you can always order a drink or a side dish while you wait. That being said, I would recommend you to try this place!

When you can get a spot at BarBara you'll definitely have a night to remember. No matter what you order you can't miss: the gnocchi is incredible, the fries are covered in parmesan (never a bad thing for us) & don't even get us started on the focaccia. The wine selection is incredible. To have a spot with such a wide inventory that is constantly changing is incredible. The service is a bit slow but like we said they are always really busy. Great wine bar with fantastic Italian food in the Sud-Ouest
