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.
Pretty cool place with lovely vibes & nice cocktails.
A bit on the expensive side, & portion of main could be bigger. Food is good but nothing extraordinary (hence 4 stars)
I'd definitely recommend & would come back just for the taquitos :)

The vibes & atmosphere of this restaurant are immaculate. Unfortunately, me & my group of 3 had to sit at the bar because there was a 2 hr wait when we arrived on Saturday night. It was so noisy, that it was impossible to hear each other across the bar.
The drinks were amazing- I had a mock-tail that I really enjoy & my friend loved their cocktails. The food was flavorful, & the dishes were quite unique, however I've had much tastier Peruvian food in places like D.C. I'd come back for the vibes & drinks as a bar-hopping stop, but would honestly try a different option for food.
We sat at the bar & had such a good experience. The vibe of this restaurant was amazing, & the staff were super friendly & helpful the whole time. I would definitely recommend this place!
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.
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.

Such a cute & nice restaurant. The vibes are incredible & the staff is the best. We were a group of 10 & it went perfectly. All of us LOVED our food. It's perfect for birthday parties or nice cute date. I recommend & gonna be back for sure!!
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!
