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.
Food was good (high quality, small portions) but service was not the best. We spent most of the night trying to get our waiters attention any time we wanted to order food/drinks. It's weird bc our plates were changed quickly after eating but our waiter was really no where to be found most of the night. Once our food arrived it looked like it had been sitting under a heating lamp for a long time - lukewarm in the middle. My latte arrived kinda cold. Wanted to order more but the kitchen was closed (which we werent informed before). Like everyone was polite but I think they are understaffed with servers. We loved the burrata & the tomato foccacia. They clearly use high quality ingredients bc the olive oil & tomatoes were delicious. Our beef onglet was perfectly cooked. Enjoyed the vermouth selection. We'd come back for sure but only if we have a lot of time to wait.

The food was really good I enjoyed everything I ate I just didn't enjoy the service as much as I would want to since our waiter messed up all of our receipts & ignored our table for 20 minutes
Over nice place but I wouldn't go when it's too busy

Little update from the next day: my friend actually got incredibly sick from the food, I don't like throwing the words food poisoning around but she had to call out of work today. So I lowered the review. I felt very icky after eating so I think there was something in the food that made us both feel ill.
Very cute spot. A few problems we encountered & why it's rated lower.
Our drinks were super foamy? I had an espresso martini with an inch of foam on it in a long cup too so when I sipped it, all I got was foam. The martini itself was okay too.
Second issue, the food was incredibly oily, my stomach started to hurt so I stopped eating & my friend has now informed me that her stomach is not doing well either a couple of hours after dinner. For the price, the food & drinks being that bad are a real problem, I will say the focaccia was delicious & would probably take an order to go.
The ambiance is gorgeous & very aesthetic, I saw a review talking about the music but I found it a good level to have a lively conversation. The staff were incredibly lovely, helpful, & knew when to come & speak to my friend & I. I would probably not come back as there are a lot of other spots to get the same food & drinks, done better.
I go every time I'm in Montreal, often just for a glass of wine. It's the perfect terrasse to sit & people watch. The staff are always so lovely & I've never had something there that I didn't love! 🫶
