Review Summary

BarBara is widely celebrated as a charming neighborhood gem that offers a warm, stylish atmosphere and a delightful terrace perfect for any occasion. The menu, particularly the focaccia with ricotta and honey, fresh pasta, and creative seasonal dishes, consistently impresses diners with its quality and fresh, balanced flavors. While the lack of a reservation system can lead to significant wait times during peak hours, many guests find that the friendly service, extensive wine selection, and overall vibrant experience make the visit well worth the patience. Although some visitors note that the space can become quite loud and mention that portion sizes feel modest for the price, the majority of patrons are eager to return for the consistently lovely environment and exceptional hospitality.

Lost count of the amount of times we came, wine list isn't excellent by any means for real enthusiasts but we always find ourselves back for the food & cozy atmosphere.

I loved this place! It was my first time in Montreal & I heard about this spot from a friend. Even though the wait was around 30 minutes you're able to order a drink while you wait. We had Marie as our server & she was wonderful! I have a severe nut allergy & she was very careful & accommodating when we ordered. Everything is simply but done very well! My Mom & I especially enjoyed the focaccia & the chocolate mousse! Next time I'm in Montreal I'll definitely pass by :)

So many people told me I needed to come here, & let me tell you, it does NOT disappoint! Everything we ate was exceptional (the ricotta & wild honey foccacia is 100% worth the hype), the drinks were amazing, the tiramisu was some of the best I have ever tried, & the service was fantastic! Cannot recommend this place enough!

I went by myself & sat at the bar. Had a lovely time chatting with other patrons & the barman. The food was delicious & I got a fresh pastry for later. They have a nice patio & the crowd was not too loud. The staff is amazingly efficient as you dont see them running around but they must because the place is packed

Très bon caccio e pepe. Très bon espresso martini. Belle terrasse, prix raisonnable pour la qualité. Bon endroit pour 5@7 ou souper entre amis.
