BarBara est décrit comme un endroit cosy avec une bonne carte de vins où la focaccia, la burrata, les pâtes fraîches et le menu italien varié enchantent les groupes et les soirées entre amis, la focaccia à la ricotta et le cacio e pepe étant souvent cités aux côtés d'arancini et de bucatini; l'ambiance sur la terrasse ou à l'intérieur est régulièrement présentée comme accueillante et élégante, et les cocktails et les vins sont fréquemment mis en avant en accompagnement des plats, mais plusieurs avis signalent des portions peut être petites pour le prix, un service parfois lent ou surchargé et du bruit aux heures d'affluence ou sur la terrasse; dans l'ensemble, l'endroit est perçu comme une adresse de quartier très appréciée pour des saveurs bien travaillées, un bon choix de vins et une ambiance conviviale et animée, avec une expérience qui peut varier selon le moment et le rythme.
Love their wine list! Personally, I prefer their appetizers over their pasta. The cacio e pepe lacks a bit of flavor. The focaccia, arancini, parmesan fries & polpettes are all delicious. Since they do not take reservations, do expect to wait 45 minutes on busy evenings.
2024: just came for afternoon drinks. Was provided with great wine glass recommendations. Also had the Rome With a View cocktail which was good. 2022: Came here for lunch. Excellent service. Very attentive. Helped find something we thought we lost. Ordered the arancini & the pâte au beurre from the main menu as well the sandwich & smoked salmon from the pop-up. Everything was delicious & well-presented.

Really cozy place & super friendly staff, great for a glass of wine + comfort food. Definitely recommend but expect a bit of a wait (we walked in & it was quite busy - they eat dinner late here!)
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.
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
Overall: great food & wine, looooong wait. We went around 7:30 on a busy Friday night; we were told it was a 45 min wait for a table, & were seated in the waiting area. I think they thought we had left because we ended up waiting 1.5h, & several tables seated before us. When we were finally sat, service was better but took a while to be seen. Its a shame we had this experience because the wine & food were both really great. If you catch them outside of the rush, i definitely think its worth a try.
Incredible staff. I was shocked at how pleasantly friendly & helpful everyone was . I was contemplating leaving because my kid was cold on the terrasse & fussy (understandably) but they quickly accommodated us indoors with a book for him & coloring pencils. The waiter placed his order first & he had food within minutes . It was just impressive how the staff works together, perfect harmony. In this day & age when you're kind of used to bad service, eating there tonight was really enjoyable. The food was wonderful, slightly expensive. The wine was fantastic. All in all a great experience. I will definitely go back.

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.
I went on a Sunday & it was busy but we were able to get a table for 2 immediately when we walked in. The service was nice, the wine was excellent, & the food was tasty.
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!
Great atmosphere & nice food. Cozy place for a night out with friends or a date. Wine list is a bit lacking but the food makes up for it. Love the candles burning at each table & good music. Expect a wait if you come after 6:30.
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.
the restaurant is packed during weekend night. If you come in group, it's recommend to make a reservation. Delicious pasta & focaccia 😍 the food portion is adequate for the price, but wine list is higher price.
