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.

Honestly, a very solid spot. The terrace vibe was absolutely sublime-perfect for a relaxed evening out. The food was consistently great across the board, but the focaccia really stood out-fresh, fluffy, & full of flavor.

I'd highly recommend this place. It feels like a true hidden gem in Montreal, with the right balance of atmosphere, quality food, & friendly service. Definitely worth a visit.

J'ai beaucoup entendu parler de Bar Bara & j'avais vraiment hâte de vivre l'expérience. Nous avons malheureusement été déçus du service & nous ne retournerons pas à ce restaurant. Une de mes entrées préférées sont les arancinis & nous y allions spécifiquement pour les essayer & à notre arrivée le serveur nous a dit que les arancinis seraient seulement disponible dans 1heure. Nous avons commandés d'autres entrées, en attendant ainsi que le plat principal. 1 heure après, nous avons demandé si les enfin arancinis étaient disponibles & on nous dit que finalement il n'y en aurait pas du tout de toute la soirée! Le serveur n'a même fini son service & a demandé a un autre serveur de nous faire payer. Lorsqu'on nous nous dirigions vers la sortie le serveur nous a vu, a détourné le regard, & nous a même pas dit au revoir. Je ne comprend pas qu'est ce qu'on a fait pour recevoir cette attitude. De plus, nous avions commandé les pâtes cacio e pepe & celles au ragu, & les deux baignaient dans l'huile, on mangeait quasiment une soupe d'huile. Vraiment déçus de l'expérience en général.

Restaurant très sympa avec des plats à la cartes délicieux. Le personnel est très serviable mais le service est long. Je recommande pour passer un bon moment !

Great spot for a get together with friends, lively vibes, good energy, loud music & good food! Just wish there was a dedicated vegan option. The chef will whip something up for you if you have allergies but you just have to put your faith in him. I did & was pleasantly surprised!
