Dans l’ensemble, les avis sur BarBara soulignent une ambiance chaleureuse et une terrasse agréable, propice à un cadre cosy et convivial. La carte privilégie des plats italiens à partager comme la focaccia, les arancinis et les pâtes, avec des mentions récurrentes de la cacio e pepe et du burrata comme des incontournables. Le vin et les cocktails sont appréciés par beaucoup et les plats sont souvent décrits comme frais et bien exécutés. Le service est perçu comme chaleureux et efficace par certains, mais des reproches surviennent sur la lenteur, des oublis ou des erreurs de paiement lorsque l’affluence est forte. La terrasse et le niveau sonore peuvent devenir bruyants et peu propices à la conversation, surtout sans réservation et à certaines heures. Les portions peuvent sembler petites pour le prix selon certains avis, mais d’autres estiment le rapport qualité prix raisonnable grâce à la qualité des ingrédients et à la diversité de l’offre. Dans l’ensemble BarBara est vu comme un lieu dynamique et mémorable pour sortir entre amis ou en couple, où l’ambiance, la nourriture et le choix de vins conviennent à de nombreuses occasions. En résumé, BarBara reste un spot dynamique et agréable, recherché pour son ambiance et ses plats savoureux, tout en étant conscient des éventuels aléas de service et d’attente lors des périodes très chargées.
I recently visited Barbara Vin in Montreal with two friends for dinner & drinks, & overall, it was a great experience with a few minor downsides. Since they don't take reservations, we had to wait in line, which was a bit long, but the host was really accommodating. About halfway through the wait, he brought us to a little corner spot to browse the drink menu & enjoy a drink while we waited, which was a nice touch. He also offered us seating on the terrace, which is absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately, you can't have alcohol out there due to permit restrictions. The restaurant itself is very cute & fun, with cool decor that adds to the ambiance. We shared burrata, focaccia, parmesan fries as appetizers, followed by two pasta dishes (cacio e pepe & campanelle), which was plenty for the three of us. Everything was delicious! I had an Amaro Limonata, which was amazing, & my friends enjoyed margaritas. The drinks were good & affordable, but they were on the smaller side. While the vibe was super cool, the service was a little slow, & it took a while for our food to arrive. Despite that, I'd definitely go back & would recommend this spot to others. It's worth the wait!
Edit* been twice since my first time, Both times I ordered the bolognese & both times they brought me the cacio Pepe. I understand it's a simple mistake but if you're not writing the order down when we're ordering 10 things obviously something is going to get mixed up . Besides that the pastas didn't match the quality of the first time I ate there... probably will not come back Food & wines are yummy, the staff is nice however it got a little ratchet when I was there last time . The Managers were clearly piss drunk, standing on tables barefoot pouring shots from the bottles into eachothers mouths, falling off the tables...etc not sure it's the look they want to be giving off.

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
The food was 10/10 We had focaccia with ricotta/honey, cacio pepe pasta, green bean salad & the steak. All incredible. Because they don't take reservations the wait can be SUPER long but in our case we got lucky & only waited about 20 minutes.
BEST pasta in Montreal, maybe anywhere. I highly recommend this place if you are in Montreal. Visited this place again as we were driving through Montreal & we sat outside. It started to downpour & everyone ran inside. There was not a spot for us, but the staff quickly made our food to go.

Such a great place for a date. Nice atmosphere & drinks. Really lovely terrasse in the summer. We love the food. You must get the ricotta foccacia - it is so delicious. My partner & I generally get a few plates to share - a vegetable, a pasta dish, an entree, & the foccacia. Everything is always really tasty & the service is quite good.
Excellent experience. I waited months to try & they did not disappoint. The waitress was amazing, super attentive & so nice. Food was delicious. Pasta was fresh & foccaccia was out of this world. Drinks are original & prices are overall reasonable. Love it & will be back!
Did not enjoy the food as much as I did last time I ate here. The menu is also hard to understand without help. The bread was delicious but I found the Cesar salad too salty for my liking. The mushroom pasta was also on the salty side. I enjoyed the mussels pasta but was a bit spicy. The pesto pasta they used to serve was no longer on the menu & I was disappointed. The inside gets really noisy & the patio was nice but also a bit noisy
Tasty pasta, nice ambiance, good service! Focaccia bread is fresh & nice here , they bake it. The only negative point about Barbara is there is no reservation & it is first come first serve, so you need to give your name when you arrive & on Saturday night waiting time was about 50minutes!
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!
EXCELLENT restaurant. My favorites: Calamari & mushrooms pasta. Everyone is very nice. We LOVE the candles In winter: I strongly recommend you bring a good sweater as the restaurant is cold, they set the heater but there are drafts coming from the windows & walls. We go often & we always have a great time! 💜
The service & ambiance was amazing but i have to say really disappointed with the food, really expensive for nothing, we had a kilo of salad with almost nothing to garnish, pasta bolognese without tomato & too small & a tiramisu without coffee taste...
i NEVER write google reviews but this place deserves a thank you!! I had so much fun doing the 10k run with my friends & then coming here to one of (if not THE) BEST pasta dishes i've had in montreal. Also, the staff are so kind & seem to care so much about the causes this restaurant supports! Especially the blonde lady who worked today (Sunday)! Will DEFINITELY be coming back for more of that Cacio e Pepe!!
