BarBara agit comme un pôle de quartier spécialisé axé sur des préparations italiennes authentiques qui mettent l'accent sur des produits saisonniers de haute qualité et un savoir-faire artisanal. La cuisine propose une sélection évolutive de pâtes fraîches faites à la main et de préparations au feu de bois qui reflètent les techniques traditionnelles tout en utilisant des ingrédients locaux. Des vins naturels accompagnent le menu pour offrir un profil gustatif cohérent à chaque service. L'espace fonctionne à la fois comme un restaurant décontracté et une boutique spécialisée, proposant des produits d'épicerie fine et des sauces maison à emporter. Les intérieurs minimalistes créent un environnement fonctionnel où l'attention reste portée sur l'intégrité des produits bruts et la précision de la cuisson. Les clients découvrent une approche directe et sans prétention des traditions culinaires méditerranéennes privilégiant les goûts francs.
BarBara est largement reconnu pour son atmosphère accueillante, son décor élégant et sa focaccia exceptionnelle, souvent considérée comme l'élément phare du menu. Les clients apprécient régulièrement la fraîcheur des pâtes, la vaste sélection de vins et la charmante terrasse, ce qui en fait une adresse de quartier très prisée pour prendre un verre ou se retrouver entre amis. Bien que beaucoup profitent de l'ambiance chaleureuse et du service attentionné, certains soulignent que le restaurant peut être bruyant et bondé. La politique sans réservation entraîne souvent de longues attentes et, malgré la qualité constante de la cuisine, certains clients ont émis des réserves concernant la taille des portions et des irrégularités occasionnelles dans le service pendant les heures de pointe.
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.

Incredible establishment. I come here at least once weekly & I've been here across seasons for coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, & recently, even a New Year's tasting menu. This place is incredible for a litany of reasons & my review will just scratch the surface. Food: I came for the the Cacio e Pepe croissant (RIP, bring this back please) & stayed for... well, everything else. The coffee is incredible (I get the pistachio latte at least once weekly) & I haven't had a bad dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The menus span the gradient of baked goods & simple fried finger foods to complex & creative dishes (with fantastic wine pairings to accompany them.) The food is top tier whether you're going small or big. Service: Not many places you can go to & see the same friendly faces each time you go. Someone must be doing something right because turnover here compared to other establishments seems minimal & service is warm, friendly, quick, & informed. Very chill & relaxed vibe, & every person I've interacted with has been nothing short of awesome. Atmosphere: I can't begin to do the vibe this place has justice... the decor... the unpredictable but always spot on interesting tunes & music playing... it's just a cool place with an incredible atmosphere. This is a go to spot we bring people who are visiting to & without fail it's always a hit. I love getting some work done in the mornings where things are chill... you've got some light tribe called quest playing in the background, the restaurant is getting all the light from outside with the curtain wall windows, & everything & everyone is seemingly relaxed & hanging out. Then you get the transition into the awesome energy this place has in the evenings & in terrace season, where this place gets filled with energy that somehow feels intimate, & is absolutely thriving. We even did the New Year's tasting menu recently & brought in the new year having a blast with the whole restaurant - customers & staff alike. Ate & drank & danced in & out of our seats with great mix of tunes. Overall & TL;DR This place is cool with awesome food, drink, service, & vibes.
I've been there to breakfast twice now. A really good experience across the board. Food is always fresh & tasty. You can tell they make everything by hand the flavours are simple yet efficient & seasoned enough! The waiters were kind, caring & funny. They have a wide selection of wines. Their chai latte is spot on! Food is always fresh & the placenis really clean! It was a little cold in there today, must admit it's minus 15 outside. Definitely drop by for a nice simple unpretentious but elevated breakfast
I have been to BarBara a few times & the food is always as good, fresh & tasty! The staff is very friendly, the ambiance of the place is cozy & lovely. What I also like is that's it doubles as a café during the day so you can also drop by for a quick coffee or matcha break. A bit of a side note, but their matcha lattes hot or iced are very well prepared & taste very good. I always like to bring my friends here, the price is very reasonable & some side dishes can definitely be shared. I would say some of my favorite items are the arancini, the burrata & the cacio e pepe. They have a good wine & alcohol selection as well. Just a few things to consider is that they do not take reservations so you have to be there early on typical weekend evenings because you might have to wait for a little while. However, you can always order a drink or a side dish while you wait. That being said, I would recommend you to try this place!
When you can get a spot at BarBara you'll definitely have a night to remember. No matter what you order you can't miss: the gnocchi is incredible, the fries are covered in parmesan (never a bad thing for us) & don't even get us started on the focaccia. The wine selection is incredible. To have a spot with such a wide inventory that is constantly changing is incredible. The service is a bit slow but like we said they are always really busy. Great wine bar with fantastic Italian food in the Sud-Ouest
Nice place, with good ambience. Food is okay. A bit expensive for what it is. Good beer variety. & a large wine list too. Amazing service. Verdict: give it a try.
Came here on a sunday around 7:30 pm for drinks. We were immediately seated, which was nice considering the last time I left because of the huge line. It should be noted that the service was amazing. I forgot to get the name of the waitress, but she took real good care of us especially when choosing the wine. The calamari & focaccia were pretty tasty to pair with the drinks. The atmosphere was perfect. This is for sure one of the best terrasses in montreal!
