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.
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!
We were sat at the bar which wasn't ideal since our service was spotty. The food had a nice presentation style, the ceviche, pio pio tacos & plantain chips were good, but the lamb shank tasted a bit gamey for our liking, & the drinks were fancy.
It is the first place where I've tried ceviche & do not regret the least, it was delicious. The staff was very nice & highly responsive. I ordered the Chaufita con su chicharron, it was very good & well portionned. Also tried their mocktails'El mentiroso' &'Grapefruit Chicha', they were both delicious! The grapefruit one is probably my favorite
Wow!! super service, menu varié, ambiance super. Nous avons passer une très belle soirée. Expérience à refaire.
Merci à notre hôtesse Leonie très attentionnée qui a fait une belle différence pour cette occasion spéciale.
