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.
Quelle belle découverte pour nous ! Les cocktails étaient délicieux & nos Tapas savoureux. Le service attentionné & sympathique fut très apprécié. Je recommande chaleureusement ce restaurant & je me ferai une joie d'y retourner.
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!

Wow! La bouffe est bonne mais le service…!!! Julie-Anne & Gianina sont extraordinaires! Dès notre arrivée en tant que groupe, elles ont été attentives, courtoises, & si professionnelles. Je recommande +++++
La nourriture est vraiment bonne & les breuvages sans alchool aussi. Également, ils ont des variétés de boissons alcoolisés de hautes gammes selon mon opinion. Pour conclure, je recommende ce restaurant.
Excellent expérience je recommande fortement ce restaurant. Un gros merci à Nina pour son très bon service. Elle était très souriante attentive & professionnelle grâce à elle & à la délicieuse cuisine nous avons passé un moment très agréable.

Première fois pour moi la cuisine péruvienne & cet endroit était juste le meilleur choix, le service impeccable toute l'équipe était a la hauteur spécialement Nina avec de belles recommandations & un grand sourire ☺? l'ambiance chaleureuse & vivante & la nourriture rien à dire ❤? des saveurs que je n'ai même pas pu comprendre des ingrédients frais excellents on était en découverte 🥰 les cocktails également sont top je recommande 100% & je reviendrais évidemment !
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.
Anaël & her team were amazing. The food, ambiance, service, decoration, friendliness were 11/10. Will def. come back & recommend 🤩 They treated our celebration so well!
Very cute place for a friendly gathering! The music isn't too loud but is loud enough to enjoy. I liked the food, but I wouldn't recommend the causa de pulpo as it wasn't that great. Everything else was pretty decent! Recommended if you want to have a fun night out!

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
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
Not sure why this place doesn't have an even higher rating, the food is incredible, the service is excellent & the vibe is so cool! If you're looking for casual but elevated & fun, I highly recommend this place.

The food was decent, but the overall experience was affected by noticeable hygiene issues with the staff, which made dining uncomfortable. I would strongly recommend that personal hygiene be made a priority, as the restaurant has the potential to offer a much better experience.
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!
Ce n'est pas ma première fois & non plus la dernière! Toujours un bon resto pour manger!!! Très très bon & recommandé. Pour la le plat Salchipapa aux poulet est le meilleur!!!
