My family & I travelled from Toronto to enjoy MTL food & culture. Barranco was chosen by my wife to celebrate her birthday, & the place did not disappoint. The food was terrific, we loved the cevice , grilled octopus & the chiccarone tacos. The drinks were also very good, they had designer mocktails for the kids to enjoy.
We want to thank Nabila for her excellent recommendations & service hospitality. She was very attentive to our needs & provided us with a wonderful celebration!

Merveilleux restaurant péruvien. Avons très bien mangé, prix raisonnable. Bon service mais un peu long pour être servi.. avons commandé des drinks & les avons eu seulement en même temps que le repas, donc un bon moment d'attente, malgré les avoir redemander, la serveuse nous a indiqué qu'ils étaient très occupéa au bar. Je retournerai quand même! Belle ambiance & bonne nourriture. Ça vaut la peine de réserver car petit restaurant & très achalandé même en semaine
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.
Fell in love with this restaurant. Cozy & welcoming yet fun & vibrant. The food is SO DELICIOUS it makes you want to dance while eating, but I think it's not the best for digestion. The drinks are also AMAZING. Peruvian authentic decor & atmosphere. 110% must try!
Aucun respect pour les réservations. Aucun suivi des commentaires constructifs envoyés en privé. Ont donné notre table à d'autres personnes non pas une, mais deux fois. Même pas offert un drink rien. Nous n'y retournerons pas.
Excellent experience at Barranco MTL on every level. The director Shaheen truly knows how to receive his guests. Wonderful food & wonderful drinks. 10/10 would recommend
This is a perfect experience of good food well prepared flavorful & genuine. The price is respectable for what you taste. I'm coming back for sure. Didn't even pass the 3 piqueos 4 drink & 2 dessert with my partner. Will be back for the main course. Thanks

THE BEST PERUVIAN RESTAURANT IVE EVER BEEN TO. This place truly tastes like home. The food was incredibly fresh I ate so much & didn't feel bloated at all, which says everything about the quality. The drinks were exactly like my mom used to make back home: the pisco sour & maracuyá sour were perfectly balanced & so authentic.
The lomo saltado was hands down the best I've ever had. The sauce was spectacular, the meat was high quality, soft, juicy, & perfectly medium-rare inside. Even the fries were amazing still crispy, not soggy at all. The huacatay sauce tasted so fresh, & the cebiche was absolutely to die for.
If you're looking for real Peruvian food in Montreal, this is the place. You can feel the love & tradition in every bite.
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.
Thank you to the Cooks, Chef & Bartenders.
My partner & I sat at the bar in front of a beautiful wall of cocktail garnishes & soaked in the atmosphere. This is by far my favorite Peruvian restaurant in Canada that I've had the pleasure of eating & drinking at for the authenticity. Even the music was at level where you were not yelling but also enjoying & hearing your partner.
The Mahi Mahi ceviche was incredible down to the detailed cocktails & friendly bar staff. Will most certainly come back.
Authentic Peruvian flavors in the heart of Montreal!
This spot completely blew me away - from the creative cocktails to the beautifully plated dishes. The drink presentation was incredible (served in a skull tiki mug!) & packed with tropical flavor. The food was fresh, full of texture, & bursting with that signature Peruvian zest - especially the octopus dish, which was cooked to perfection.
The atmosphere was vibrant with great music, colorful decor, & warm service that made the whole experience feel like a trip to Lima. Highly recommend this place whether you're visiting or local - it's a must-try for anyone who loves good vibes & amazing Peruvian cuisine! 🇵🇪✨
This is the second time I come to Barranco. Both times were for a birthday & both times they did something special. Food & drinks are terrific. Our waitress Nabila was very attentive & kind. I recommend!
We loved the food! It was delicious, very beautifully presented fresh & tasty. Came out pretty fast too. The drinks are super original with lots to choose from.
We had the taquitos chicharron. The anticutcho filet mignon. Two different salchipapas ( omg amazing!) the flavors are sublime here!! We also ordered the yuquitas to try but sadly really didn't enjoy them. The sauce was delish but they tasted like tater tots to us. We did return them.
The rest! Amazing & we can't wait to go back.
The service however lacked. They were slow. Unnatentive. They didn't pick up dirty plates or glasses. They served us our food without cutlery. So we had to wait quiet some time & kindly ask to get some.
We didn't wait at all. We went on a Saturday at about 5:15pm.
