Review Summary

BarBara is widely celebrated as a vibrant neighborhood staple in Montreal, praised primarily for its exceptional focaccia, fresh pasta, and curated wine selection. Many patrons describe the atmosphere as trendy, warm, and perfect for socializing, noting that the restaurant offers a consistently high-quality experience that makes it a top destination for food and drinks. While the experience is generally positive, guests frequently mention that the no-reservation policy often leads to long wait times and that the interior can become quite loud and crowded. Opinions on service and portion sizes vary, with some diners finding the staff friendly and efficient, while others occasionally feel rushed or find the servings small relative to the price. Despite mixed feedback on specific service interactions or noise levels, the restaurant remains a highly popular spot that many guests recommend for its unique charm and delicious, consistent menu.

Toujours des bons plats malgré les portions parfois un peu petites. Ils changent souvent leur menu alors ça donne le goût de venir plus souvent! Leur foccacia is the best, spécialement celle au ricotta.

La focaccia, prise avec la burrata était délicieuse. C'est la meilleure que j'ai mangé à Montréal !
Nous sommes venus un vendredi soir à 19h en sachant qu'il n'y avait pas de réservation possible, on s'attendait donc à avoir de l'attente. J'aimerai souligner la qualité du service que nous avons reçu de la part de tout le personnel. De l'accueil à notre sortie, nous nous sommes fait servir avec un grand sourire & avec attention.
Nous avons passé un très bon moment 😊

One of my favourite restaurants in the city. Always an incredible time when I've been. But I was shocked when my plate came the other night & I saw that it was half the size it used to be - unlike all the other times I've been. Still tasted delicious but I was definitely disappointed that one of my favourite restaurants has fallen victim to portion downsizing for the same item prices. Hoping this changes…

Arrived at 6:30 & was only seated at 9:15 pm. Was looking forward to showing my friend a night out for her birthday, especially since we both have young kids now & it happens less. This was brutal, & honestly, the food was VERY mid after 2.5 hours of waiting (though in all fairness, I've been here before & really enjoyed my meal on the patio on the summer). The only reason we didn't leave is because we had already ordered a bottle of wine. Fucaccia that no reservation policy - we won't be back until it's changed.

A very nice place, you can get alcohol early, which in my books, is always nice. A bit pricey for my blood, but on a vacation it's a nice moment .

That have a seasonal coffee, this time it was a pepper/cardamom caramel latte (latte e Pepe), I had mine iced, it was delightful.

Excellent food, the focaccia is always amazing, as is the rest of the always changing menu. I appreciate that you get different by-the-glass options every time, I tend to tell the server what I'm feeling & they're usually spot on with their suggestions.
