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.
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!!
Mes choix (ceviche, maracujá sour & patates additionnelles) étaient succulents. Mes bémols: J'avais encore faim malgré l'ajout de patates & étant assise à l'intérieur, je trouve que la musique était trop forte pour s'entendre parler. Aussi il n'est pas indiqué clairement que la cuisine ferme à 14h45 & reprends à 16h00. C'est une information qui serait pertinente à avoir avant de faire une réservation. Sinon, délicieux, personnel serviable & accueillant!

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! 🌟🇵🇪🍹
Ordered the crispy cauliflower to share with my friend & Ceviche Barranco as the main dish. The crispy cauliflower was good but the Ceviche Barranco was way too sour for me. 😅

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!
Barranco never disappoints! I've been 4 times already & the quality of their food is always on point. Their drinks are also very good, I recommend you try the maracuya sour!
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!
Went for a new years special that was advertised for 85$ on the website, only to be charged 100$ for a champagne service we didn't opt for. I don't mind spending the extra money for champagne, but I would rather be given an option & told of the price rather than being charged without knowing. The staff did not care to rectify or explain themselves, left a very sour taste in my mouth. The service was good considering how it was new years & they were busy, but we weren't happy with how that ordeal was handled. Music was too loud & some food was really good, the rest was decent at best.
