Guests describe Barcola Bistro as an intimate and cozy spot where a Saturday four-course menu can feel deceptively simple yet is perfectly prepared and delicious, with pacing that stays just right, a warm and gracious vibe, a setting that invites lingering, and music that adds a memorable touch; the food, wine, and overall atmosphere receive repeated praise and return visits feel likely, though an afternoon visit is noted as less welcoming, reinforcing the sense that Barcola Bistro is a charming hidden gem worth returning to.
Had a absolutely stellar birthday dinner with my sibling! Menu changes every week! But I have no doubt that if I ever get treated there again it will be fantastic
I brought my sister here for her birthday & we were both very happy with the experience. All of the courses were delicious. The portions seem small at first but we were both full by the end of the night. I especially loved the panna cotta which I had never tried before. The atmosphere was my favourite part; it is a very intimate setting with beautiful music & ambience. If I could afford it, I would eat here every week. I will certainly be back. Thank you, Barcola, for a great night!

Went there in august, on a Wednesday for the apperitivo tasting menu, specified it on the booking but when I got there the lady told us that it's not available. Instead proposed us overpriced tomatoes with salt & olive oil (yes almost 30$ for uncooked tomates) & a spaetzle dish that's not even Italian in my repertoire. Music was too loud, i couldn't even hear the server talking & her recommendations. It was so deceiving I went to go get bagels afterwards to finish my meal. I had high hopes, but unfortunetly won't be back
This restaurant is a beautiful spot in Montreal, loved the decoration,& the owner & his wife are very friendly & nice. We went there in month of August & they had different menu compared to the rest of the year. I really liked tbe smoked salmon on grilles bokchoy. Panne cotta was too soft but the taste was nice & brownie was very nice. You need to book your table in advance.
A hidden gem! The background music didn't prevent us from having a conversation; the service was great; the food was great! This place is cozy & lovely!

Une soirée parfaite, tout simplement. Une cuisine raffinée & passionnée, un service chaleureux & rempli de considération & une ambiance distinguée, musicalement parfaitement agencée, qui joint chaleur & romance. Un must.
J'adore ce resto, à la fois simple & romantique. La bouffe est tout simplement délicieuse! Pas beaucoup de choix, ce que je trouve très normal & même préférable dans un petit resto. Belle ambiance, bonne musique. Je recommande fortement!
Hands down one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in all aspects & one that I will never forget! It felt more like visiting the home of a friend, I felt that comfortable. & the food was incredible. It felt like a lot of love was put into each course
Super endroit. Menu unique avec le choix des services. Très bonne cuisine raffinée & gourmande. Bon choix de vin & petit + : les vinyles diffusés pendant le repas, simplement génial
