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.
Very nice experience! It was pricy, but the food was amazing. We ordered lomo saltado, yuca, & causa de pulpo. It was all delicious. The corn they served while we waited was incredible, super tasty. For dessert I don't remember the name, but it was pretty much a corn cob shaped chocolate filled with mouse 🤤 To drink we had pisco sour & Barranco tiki & they were both very good (although I personally liked the pisco sour better).
Very nice experience overall! We will be back
This is an edit to my previous review which was positive except the yuca fries.
I change this review based off lack of consistency in the food. The rice was yesterdays rice served on the plate. Not fresh or not properly cooked.
For a saturday evening there was a shortage of desserts & as we all know, in the restaurant industry, that saturdays are busy days. So weird that there was no specific desserts for the evening folk, perhaps only for the folks in the later night.
You just cant mess up rice in a Peruvian restaurant. Alas, this will be my last visit.

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!
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!
Très belle découverte la cuisine péruvienne. Nous avons partagé nos 3 plats :
- Arroz con mariscos (pour ceux qui aiment les fruits de mer);
- Lomo Saltado (filet de boeuf avec une sauce incroyable)
- Seco à la Nortena (boeuf braisé qui fond dans la bouche). Le tout avec de très bons cocktails & des desserts délicieux.
J'ai passée une belle soirée avec une amie. Très bonne bouffe.
Ils ont appris que c'était ma fête & m'ont offert mon dessert gratuit. Vraiment apprécié.
Went for the Mtl a Table event. Menu consisted of an appetizer, main & dessert, for $50. I had the grilled octopus, the mahi mahi ceviche & the chocolate mousse. Everything was good. There were 4 of us so we got to try everything on that menu. The brussels sprouts were surprisingly good. The fried rice was a bit too salty. But all in all a pleasant meal. Service was great. Our waitress was so friendly.

Easy to give a high rating because the service & atmosphere were wonderful! The food was good, but every dish was just a bit too salty with not much else going on flavour-wise. Nothing I was blown-away by. Desserts were excellent.
Great spot in Montreal for food! We got tacos, octopus, & civeche.
We found there were too many potatoes with the octopus & too much lime in the Ceviche. Tacos were great, drinks were great. Dessert was also amazing.
Une escapade au Pérou le temps d'une soirée.
Des cocktails frais, une belle ambiance musicale & de la bonne viande. Un gros bonus pour le dessert au chocolat & le service impeccable de notre serveuse Alexandrine. J'enlève juste une petite étoile pour le fait que le menu manque un peu de légumes & fraîcheur. Une belle expérience 😊

We had a great experience here. Some truly outstanding dishes - the ceviche was so fresh & flavorful! Also really enjoyed seafood rice & dessert. The fried chicken was forgettable & the sausage was a little too salty. Cocktails were fun & ambiance is great at night albeit a bit dim.
Incredible & unique cocktails, wonderful food & a bustling vibe. Food service was just a touch slow so we didn't have time for dessert unfortunately but otherwise a great night!
Superbe service de la part de Jordy! La nourriture était délicieuse, nous avons manger un ceviche barranco, salade solterito, y jalea. Comme dessert les alfajores, très bon! Bonne ambiance, musique moderne, beau décor.
Ceviche tres bon, asssiette principale assez décevant A chaque fois que ouvre la Porte du restaurant on crève de froid, on a demandé de changé de table il ont dit que c'était pas possible même qu'il avait des table vide 6 vin rouge sur menu & seulement 2 de disponible Dessert a révisé

I first visited this restaurant last week & did not have a positive experience. The manager Felix invited me & a guest for a second try & we had a wonderful experience. I had the lomo saltado & my friend had the salchipapa asada. Both dishes were bursting with flavour & prove why Peruvian cuisine is one of the best. The floor manager took the time to explain to us the cooking & ingredients, it's clear that the staff are well trained on the menu. She was kind enough to offer us a dessert & we chose las ruinas. Again a unique dessert with balanced sweetness & crunchiness. Happy to try this restaurant again & will gladly visit to try the other dishes. Quality establishment, well managed & a special menu.
It was our first time at Barranco & we were so impressed. The service was amazing; the waiter was pleasant, attentive & we felt taken care of throughout the entire night. The food was amazing! Everything from the appetizers to the desserts was flavorful, delicious & well prepared. The portions are quite generous as well. Will definitely be back & highly recommend.
Très bonne ambiance & décor vibrant. J'ai commencé avec un verre de Maracuya Sour, je donne un 5/10. La nourriture était très bonne. J'ai pris Jalea mixta en entrée & Seco de Cordero en plat principal. Pour dessert Luna Llena avec une gelée à la mangue délicieuse. Les serveurs/serveuses étaient très aimable.
Super agréable repas, service & atmosphère. Nous avons profité de la terrasse. Nous avons découvert la cuisine péruvienne & ce n'est que partie remise! Causa de camarón pour moi & Causa de pulpo al olivo pour mon amie: ce plat à lui seul vaut le détour! Nous avons ensuite partagé le plat Salchipapa Asada: délicieux! Pour dessert, Luna Llena, une pavlova avec une crème pâtissière au maracuya & gelée de mangue. Super! Drinks sans alcool Mango Colada & El Mentiroso sublimes & bien frais! Serveuses gentilles & qui expliquent bien le menu & l'esprit du restaurant! Honnêtement, une belle surprise!
The food was amazing , the limo saltado was simply delicious, the drinks & the desserts The attention was seamless & good atmosphere . The music was a bit loud but we had a great time
