Que dire! Wow. J'y suis allée en solo & je me suis sentie parfaitement à l'aise assise au bar. La mixologie est à la hauteur de sa réputation : des cocktails travaillés comme de véritables compositions sensorielles. J'ai eu le plaisir d'un verre fumé au romarin, suivi d'une variation du Manhattan à base de la liqueur québécoise Shaman & d'essences ajoutées au compte-gouttes. Impressionnant, sensoriel, parfaitement équilibré.
La délicieuse ceviche classique de mahi-mahi est un mariage franc de textures-le poisson tendre & les croquettes de grains de blé d'Inde & autres. J'ai terminé avec la tartelette au citron : meringue fortement gommée juste parfaite sur une pâte savoureusement croquante.
Tout est vraiment beau ici d'ailleurs - vivant, sensoriel, précis sans devenir prétentieux.
Service chaleureux & accueillant. Décor ponctué de clins d'oeil aux couleurs de l'art folk péruvien, lumières tamisées, ambiance rétro discrète & élégante.
The food was excellent everything we ordered was full of flavor, but the Barranco ceviche really stood out. The chicha morada pisco sour was just as impressive & definitely worth trying. On top of that, the service was fantastic the staff were friendly, attentive, & made the whole experience even better.
Super belle découverte. La bouffe est vraiment savoureuse, avec plein de goûts frais & bien équilibrés - on sent que tout est travaillé sans être trop compliqué.
Le ceviche était excellent, très frais, & les plats chauds étaient tout aussi bons. Gros coup de coeur pour les cocktails aussi (mention spéciale au pisco sour 👌).
L'ambiance est vivante mais reste agréable, parfait pour un souper entre amis ou une date. Le service est attentionné sans être envahissant.
Bref, une place où j'ai envie de retourner sans hésiter.
Went with colleagues for a little 5 à 7 & we stayed till almost midnight. The service was excellent, Nina was great. The food was okay… I had high expectations I guess. I was disappointed that their tasting menu only had 1 ceviche out of at least 6 dishes. Definitely would order differently, I personally would not recommend the tasting menu, the portions are generous but the options underwhelming. The only other dish I enjoyed was the octopus over potatoes & avocado, the ceviche mahi was great. They served fried sea food that had potential to be good but came at the end of the meal when we were full. The beef was ok. 2 dishes with potato wedges is also too much in my opinion when you have so much to showcase on your menu. Please reimagine the tasting menu. The dessert was great too. The ambiance & vibes were great!

Fuimos a Barranco en Montreal con ganas de probar comida peruana, y en general la experiencia estuvo bien.
Para empezar, el pisco estaba muy bueno, pero aviso: es bastante fuerte, así que hay que ir con cuidado porque sube rápido 😅.
En cuanto a la comida, estaba rica y bien presentada, con platos típicos de la gastronomía peruana como ceviches o tiraditos, aunque en nuestro caso nos dio la sensación de que las raciones eran algo escasas. Para el precio que tienen, podrían ser un poco más generosos.
El ambiente del local es uno de sus puntos fuertes: está bien decorado, con luces agradables y un estilo bonito que invita a quedarse.
Eso sí, no diría que es un peruano 100% tradicional, pero se nota que intentan cuidar la propuesta y hacerlo bien, adaptándolo quizá a un público más internacional.
En resumen, buen sitio para probar sabores peruanos en Montreal, aunque con margen de mejora en la cantidad de los platos.
C'était la première fois que nous mangions péruvien. L'ambiance est superbe du côté'cantine'. Les cocktails sont délicieux & la nourriture très bonne. Nous étions deux & nous avons partagé des tapas & ceviche.
Le service était impatiente! Elles ont pris le temps de nous expliquer le menu & de nous faire des suggestions!
Ceviche très bon, surtout le barranco. Beaucoup de plat avec la même base (mais & fève) donc un peu redondant quand on veut partager des plats. Super bon service & les drinks pisco sour excellent. Un peu cher par contre.
I absolutely loved this place.
We were two & shared a few dishes: the Taquitos Chicharrón (sooo good - they come with three but you can add an extra), the Yuquitas (delicious but a bit heavy, so perfect to share), & the Ceviche Clásico, which was my personal favorite (gotta love lime). For dessert, we had the Crème Brûlée de Lúcuma.
For drinks I tried the Chicha Sour, made with their homemade pisco. Loved it so much I ordered a second one.
Beyond the amazing food & ambiance, the service truly stood out. You can tell they're proud of what they serve & really care about the overall experience.
Definitely a place you need to try!

We expected this place to be good, but it surpassed our expectations. It was our first time here, Valentine's Day dinner, & everything was perfect. The ceviche & limo saltado were amazing, as were the patacones. We tried a few different cocktails, they are a bit pricey but they were all prepared with care & didn't cheap out on the spirits. Our waitress was super attentive, the music was great & the general vibe if the place is just very upbeat & positive. Prices are about what your expect but can ramp up quickly with the drinks. Highly recommend everything we tried here, especially the ceviche clasicó & the lomo saltado.
Heloise nous a donné un service impeccable; attentionnée & professionnelle, elle a su nous informer sur chacun des plats du menu! Nous avons dégusté l'anticucho de lomo & de pulpo ainsi que la ceviche rocoto. Le tout cuit a la perfection & explosant de saveurs! Nous allons définitivement revenir!
C'était la première fois que je mangeais péruvien, très bon service & recommandation de la part de Leonie; La nourriture est excellente, surtout le ceviche rocoto & les taquitos

Service was nice, the place was nice, but the food, while seemingly well cooked, was nothing special. Both my companion & I thought it was just fine. Certainly nothing to write home about. Granted, maybe if we had taken the ceviche, things would have been different. My cocktail was okay, seemed imaginative on paper, but essentially ended up tasting like a very expensive Sangria. I feel like this place promises a lot but does not deliver. Not sure what the hype is about.
J'ai adoré ma soirée au Barranco! Les moules en entrée étaient un peu piquantes pour nos papilles sensibles, mais délicieuses! La causa de poulpo à l'olivo était un délice avec le quinoa croustillant & le ceviche clasico, on a repris une 2e assiette tellement il était excellent!
This place always hits the spot whenever I'm craving Peruvian ceviche. The best kind of ceviche in my opinion. Presentation, atmosphere & service always on point.
If you're looking for a transportive culinary experience in Montreal, look no further than Barranco. I recently lunched here with a friend, & from start to finish, it was nothing short of exceptional.
Let's start with the service: it was impeccable. Our server was warmly polite, knowledgeable about the menu, & efficiently attentive without ever being intrusive. It set the perfect tone for a relaxed yet refined meal.
Now, the food-where Barranco truly shines. We began with the Ceviche Clásico. This is not merely a dish; it's a vibrant event on a plate. The description from the menu is spot-on: it's a declaration. The mahi-mahi was pristine & literally seemed to'dance' in the electrifying leche de tigre, which was the perfect balance of frais & acide. The crunch from the cancha corn & the sweet contrast of the patate douce made every bite a symphony of texture & flavour. We couldn't resist adding the fried calamari on top-a brilliant, crispy addition that complemented the ceviche beautifully.
For our main, we shared the Arroz con Mariscos. This was a masterpiece of coastal Peruvian comfort, elevated to fine dining. The rice, cooked in a rich, creamy sauce of aji panka & shrimp bisque, had the luxurious consistency of a risotto. Packed with tender mussels, calamari, & octopus, & enriched with edamame, red peppers, cream, & parmesan, it was deeply flavourful & utterly satisfying. The fresh salsa criolla on top cut through the richness with a bright, refreshing note.
Every element was a testament to authentic technique & incredible freshness. Our lunch at Barranco was more than a meal; it was a memorable journey to the coasts of Peru, right in the heart of Montreal. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough & will certainly be returning to explore more of their menu. An absolute gem!
We were sat at the bar which wasn't ideal since our service was spotty. The food had a nice presentation style, the ceviche, pio pio tacos & plantain chips were good, but the lamb shank tasted a bit gamey for our liking, & the drinks were fancy.
