In my new favorite peruvian food cuisine restaurant it is amazingly good, awesome drinks also & one of my favorite is causa but also gotta day the ceviche is very good & often restaurants cant make it this good & fresh. Just positive vibes thank you !
Stunning, creative, robust & tasty drinks.Causa w octopus was phenomenal. 5-star service at the bar by guys that know their stuff & are fun to talk with, good vibe overall in the restaurant & we will definitely be back again & again...
Fantastic!! Beautiful place with high energy vibe! Amazing cocktails, wonderful selection of dishes, well-prepared with delicious complex flavors. The wait staff were so friendly & accommodating, even helped me identify a music track that we loved!
Great food & drinks! My first time trying peruvian food & definitely won't be my last. We loved our server, she was very kind & had a really cool vibe. We will be back.
The food was good & I was happy to see the vegetarian section of the menu has been expanded. The cocktails were also good, but oh man are they pricey. However, the vibe has really changed & not for the better, in my family's opinion. The first time we went to Barranco a couple of years ago, there was a Latin feel to the place & a fantastic salsa soundtrack playing in the background, clearly present but not so loud it interfered with conversation. The last two times we went the soundtrack was club music, not the least bit Latin, played so loud it was hard to talk. The decor has changed, too, making it feel more like a bar. I don't understand why you would play club music so loud it interferes with dining conversation in a restaurant, which has no dance floor. We miss the Latin vibe Barranco used to have!
We came here last year on F1 weekend so we reserved again for last night. Again....it did not disappoint. It's busy & loud, but we love the vibe. The food was top notch as expected. Very friendly staff too!
What a delightful evening at Barranco! Tastebuds were met with a flavour array that was out of this world. The Ceviche was top notch & a very ample portion. The inclusion of 2 types of corn made it special indeed. Service was lovely & fun. The vibe is full time party & happiness abounds in the space. Thank you for such a memorable experience. We'll be back.

Food & drinks are A1. Good service & overall great vibe. I do have to say that i dont appreciate the time frame in between reservations, i was not notified of that rule before i got there & we got told my reservation is only until 9pm. What if i am still eating, what i the food takes longer to get there because there was a mistake? I was in the middle of the conversation when the hostess came to basically rush us out. Our table ordered many drinks, appetizers, main courses. I want to enjoy the food & good company without feeling that i am getting kicked out.
My favorite new rspot in Mtl the last couple of years, by far! Exceptional fresh seafood beautifully prepared in ceviche or causas, to have with great wines & cocktails, the best burgers in Mtl currently, especially the Barranco with the duck egg & not to forget the taquitos chicharron...Great vibe with live djs, super service.
