Barranco is a modern Peruvian cuisine restaurant located in the heart of Plateau Mont-Royal on Saint-Denis Street. It offers authentic flavors thanks to several products imported directly from Peru.
Barranco MTL delivers a lively Peruvian dining experience with fresh ceviche, octopus and seafood rice that feel authentic yet vibrant in a Montreal setting. The menu balances traditional and fusion twists, while cocktails and nonalcoholic options impress with creativity and balance. The service and atmosphere are consistently praised, offering attentive hospitality, a warm, festive vibe, and a welcoming terrace that suits celebrations or casual nights out. Generous portions and a memorable dessert finish make the visit feel like a feast of textures, colors, and bright Peruvian flavors.
The food is amazing, ceviche & pulpo are a must. I'm a big fan of the Pisco Sour Clásico. Sometimes I find the music a bit too loud but it just means I'm getting old. I've been there several times & will continue to go back.
Menu exotique & intéressant avec accent sur le poisson & les fruits de mer. Nous avons choisi un ceviche & deux autres tapas à partager. C'était parfait en termes de quantité, du moins pour trois femmes. La serveuse, d'origine columbienne, a pris le temps de tout expliquer, faire des recommandations & permettre à l'une d'entre nous à goûter à deux vins avant d'en choisir. Le vendredi à midi, il n'y avait pas grand monde, malheureusement, mais nous avons eu places sur la terrasse sans difficulté. Comme dessert, nous avons essayé le pudding à tres leches (three kinds of milk), aussi partagé, mais je l'ai trouvé un peu sec & un peu fade. J'essaierai d'autre chose la prochaine fois.
Les cocktails recommandés par le serveur étaient tous les deux très bons, tout comme nos ceviches. Petit bémol pour le bruit assez insupportable dans le restaurant mais on a changé pour une table en terrasse & c'était une super soirée ! Je recommande ce restaurant
Four of us shared an amazing, creative meal at Barranco. Highly recommend anything with octopus in it, & don't come unless you want to share everything. The drinks were also nuanced & wonderfully balanced--as good as I've gotten at any cocktail bar. I'd say the one element of our meal that stood out the least was the ceviche, but maybe that's because we ordered a traditional one rather than one of the restaurant's signature innovations. For real, if you go to Barranco, embrace them doing their thing rather than trying to replicated some Peruvian dinner you've had in the past.
All the staff were really friendly & nice, though they seemed short-staffed during our visit. This might have been why the service was a little slow--something that doesn't pair well with being reminded upon arrival that you're only going to have the table for two hours. NB folks with hearing issues: there was a DJ on when we visited, so be aware that the atmosphere is raucous & you may have a harder time holding a conversation.

The cocktail was very pretty, like wow! But a bit too soft, tasted like a juice. The Chupe was not really a chupe (Ive tried many peruvian restaurants & been to Peru, first time I see a chupe like this) - Was not a big fan of it. The ceviche Barranco was good, small portions for the price & a bit salty, but good overall. I give the whole experience a 3 star counting the ambiance which I liked, the decor was cool & the service was very good. Thanks! Wishing you sucess & hoping you can take in the feedback to improve.
WOW!!! I had the causa pulpo & this is one of the top dishes of my life- perfect octopus, amazing blend of textures (the foam, the crunch!), with a fantastic blend of flavors. The risotto & the ceviche were also jaw dropping. Great atmosphere, made better by a fantastic pisco sour. Needless to say, I adored my experience & will be going back soon!!
Toujours un bon service, staff souriant & professionnel. Quant à la nourriture, sensationnelle & ceviche cuit à la perfection. Resto #1 de cuisine péruvienne à Montréal sans aucun doute!
J'avais très hâte d'essayer le Barranco.
Aussitôt que j'ai goûter au piscine sour ça m'a ramené directement à mon voyage au Pérou.
Le ceviche es extraordinaire.
J'ai aussi adoré l'ambiance, on es allé un mardi & c'était plein.
Bravo & merci à toute l'équipe
J'adore Barranco. C'était ma troisième fois. C'est un restaurant simple à l'ambiance chaleureuse, & à la cuisine est raffinée. Les Ceviches sont tous excellents. Service très sympathique. J'y retournerai!
My favorite new rspot in Mtl the last couple of years, by far! Exceptional fresh seafood beautifully prepared in ceviche or causas, to have with great wines & cocktails, the best burgers in Mtl currently, especially the Barranco with the duck egg & not to forget the taquitos chicharron...Great vibe with live djs, super service.
Alway delicious as per usual. My partner & I were depressed after we were done eating, we didn't want it to end haha. The ceviche rocoto & salchipapa poderosa were so tasty. I'm salivating thinking about it again.
