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.
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!
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.
Soy peruana y me siento orgullosa de haber recibido mi cumpleanos con una deliciosa comida peruana, gran ambiente y muy buen pisco sour en el restaurante Barranco!!

Cocktails (Pisco Sour) - exellent
Food (Mentirositas, Lomo Saltado, Arroz Con Mariscos) - not too bad, but I expected more from restaurant with this rating. Some oversalted, some overcooked...
Service - nice.
Music&atmosphere inside - too loud.
Overall, I can't to say that this is bad spot, but can't rate it with 5 stars
Meilleur ceviche que j ai jamais mange y compris 2 ans en Equateur!. Best ceviche I ever had including 2 years in Ecuador. Pisco sour original was also amazing. Pop corn coliflower en entree was delicious. Merci!
Absolutely buzzing spot, Barranco MTL is where the soul of Peru meets the heart of Le Plateau!
First off, the ceviche here is a star. Fresh, vibrant, & packed with flavor, easily one of the best ceviches in Montreal, hands down. If you're a ceviche lover, you can't miss this.
Beyond ceviche, the menu is a playful blend of Peruvian street food & gourmet flair. Causas, salchipapas, & even burgers get the Peruvian treatment. The octopus & arroz con mariscos are crowd-pleasers.
The cocktail game is strong. Pisco sours, maracuja sours, & creative mixes like the spicy mango sour or chilcano are crafted with care & served with flair.
Now, the vibe: it's lively, colorful, & a bit noisy-just like the Barranco district in Lima. Perfect for a night out with friends, a weekend brunch, or a romantic evening.
Whether you're Peruvian, a foodie, or just looking for a great time, Barranco MTL is a must-visit.
Book ahead, or try your luck at the bar for a late-night bite-you won't regret it! 🌟🇵🇪🍹
Amazing food & drinks, been multiples times & never been disappointed. The lomo saltado, salchipapas asado, yuca fries, & the seafood rice are all amazing. Would recommend the pisco sour or any other of their speciality cocktails & also the chicha morada which is amazing. Definitely recommend!

Went for brunch on Saturday. Our server was very cheerful & genuinely enthusiastic about the offerings. The causa appetizer with the octopus was delicious & a good size to share with my partner. The pisco sour cocktails were refreshing & paired well with the acidic kick of the ceviche. We'll be back!
Quel délicieux repas. Un menu avec beaucoup de choix & un gros merci à Alexandrine, la serveuse attitrée à notre table qui a su bien nous guider dans nos choix. On va y retourner c'est certain!! & surtout oublié pas de prendre un Pisco sour!!
Nous avons passé une super soirée! Nous avons goûté 3 piscos différents & ils étaient tous super bons. Nous avons mangé le ceviche barranco, le filet mignon (un délice) & CAUSA DE PULPO AL OLIVO (également un délice). Le service était bon & rapide. J'y retournerai définitivement!
When Peruvian food tastes & looks this good, why go elsewhere? Sent a video of the causa, ceviche, & pisco sours to my friends & family & they are on the next flight to Montreal :)

Belle place! La nourriture & les cocktails très bons. Durant le happy hours, les piscos sont à 12$ ce qui est raisonnable. Ils etaient délicieux (mangue & fraise). Le ceviche delicieux ! Le llomo saltado aussi. Les alfajores un peu secs, mais mes amies avaient choisit le lluna qui etait super ! Le service agréable. Seul point negatif, mais qui a quand même conclu la soirée: sur la machine lors du paiement, le pourboire commence à 18% (pas d'option 15%). Ce sont des details, mais c'est un peu énervant.... J'y retournerais.
We were a larger group (6 people) & everything we ordered was wonderful. Our server was very attentive & helpful with explaining items on the menu & making recommendations & the atmosphere is great too! We will definitely be back. Highlights were the Ceviche Classico, the Yuca Fries & the Pisco Sour.
Cuisine décevante. Pas très raffinée. La brochette de filet mignon avait un goût de chèvre...Du maïs à toutes les sauces sans aucune cohérence dans les plats. Le ceviche de mahi mahi moyen. Prix élevés qui ne se justifient pas au regard de l'assiette & de la qualité des plats. Pisco Sour au fruit de la passion correct. Ce sera ma première & dernière visite.
Je suis allé pour mon anniversaire la semaine passée & c'était délectable! Service de qualité, & la nourriture était apprêtée avec soin. Lomo Saltado, vraiment bon mais essayez aussi les entrées & les à côté, ça vaut la peine! Pis si tu veux un bon pisco sour, il est tout aussi superbe.
Vraiment une cuisine Péruvienne raffinée & délicieuse. De belle découvertes à faire en prenant la formule de partage de plats. Le personnel nous conseille très bien en fonction de nos goûts & du niveau de notre appétit. Pisco Sour vraiment bon!
