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!
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.

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! 🇵🇪✨
It was my first time at Barranco & first time trying peruvian cuisine & it was delicious! Our waitress Heloise had a super chill vibe & made the experience very comfortable for us. We sat on the terrace & the weather was perfect. The classic ceviche was fantastic! Would definitely go again! 😁

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! 🌟🇵🇪🍹
The vibe of the place was fun. A bit on the loud side but was still enjoyable to talk with friends.
The staff was very dedicated to accomodate the meal to my dietary restrictions.
I didn't get to try a lot but everything was tasty.
Probably will be coming back for the drinks.
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!

Had my 25th birthday diner & everything was bomb. Most of my guests really liked their food & everybody absolutely loved the drinks & overall vibes with the music & very cool deco
First time trying Peruvian cuisine, we loved the experience overall. Ceviche was definitely a must try, a classic Peruvian food. It was nice, good but not excellent, therefore I would say 4/5 for food, yet I & my sister enjoyed the meal, services & vibe, therefore we would give 5 stars in general.
Food was really great, just delicate yet vibrant flavours, super fresh & delicious. The only reason why I didn't rate it higher, is the it's quite loud for my taste, I found it hard to have a conversation, it had more of a bar vibe, though still very much recommend a visit.
