7 days a week we see our establishment become to Old Port passer by's a newfound treasure, as well as a second home The essence of Barroco doesn't solely reside on a single element, but rather in the harmony of various ingredients that create comfort and a "feel good" dining experience. With pride we hand picked every single detail in our restaurant : from the static motion (décor and set-up) to the impeccable delivery of satisfaction.
Barroco is described as a cozy, intimate gem in Old Montreal with a warm, welcoming staff and a stylish, historic interior that feels elevated yet unpretentious. Reviewers praise thoughtful, high quality French-inspired dishes and creative, well executed cocktails, with standout items like braised beef, beef Wellington, duck breast, halibut, oysters, lobster salad, gravlax, and memorable desserts such as madeleines and brioche.

Date night supper,
Nous avons choisi ce restaurant suite à une entrevue du chef au 98.5fm pour Montréal en Lumière. Nous y sommes allés pour le menu dégustation 3 services en collaboration avec le chef de La Cabane d'à Côté. Le cocktail d'entré était excellent. Le premier service, soupe au pois & foie gras était divin. Le magret de canard était délicieux & le dessert crêpes Suzette…. super bon. Nous avons choisi l'accord mets & vins. Le choix des vins etait parfait. Le restaurant est magnifique, nous étions à notre première visite. Nous avons trouvé une perle rare dans le Vieux-Port. Nous allons retourner à ce restaurant sans aucun doute. Le service était hors pair, merci à l'équipe.

I don't live in Montreal or Canada even but each time I visit, I come to Barroco. The cocktails are creative (Paper Crane & Echo Chamber last night) & the food was delicious. Above & beyond is the atmosphere & attentive service. Florian was beyond nice & made the celebration of our niece's graduation even more special.
My wife & I recently dined at Barroco & had a wonderful experience. From the appetizers to the dessert, everything was absolutely delicious. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service. We felt very welcome from the moment we arrived, & the staff made us feel genuinely valued. We will definitely be coming back!
because zero stars isn't an option
If you're looking for a truly unforgettable dining experience, look no further. My partner & I came here for a romantic night out & left with matching food poisoning. Nothing says'true love' like taking turns hugging the toilet at 3 a.m. 🥰
The prime rib, best I have tasted.
Stellar dishes & servers.
Would omit the olive oil drizzle with chocolate cake dessert or compliment with a berry drizzle.
Overall a beautiful ambient resto with great thoughtful creations.
Magnifique restaurant très chaleureux, service impeccable & ambiance exceptionnelle. Les plats sont délicieux. J'ai adoré le nougat glacé & le mocktail au pamplemousse! Superbe soirée à refaire!
Our server was so knowledgeable & fun! Even though the food is high end, the atmosphere wasn't stuffy or exclusive. Cocktails were on point & they have great music

What a wonderful slice of Old Town. The historic inside decor is gorgeous. The service is exquisite. & the food is heavenly. Try the duck breast. Or steak with mashed potatoes.
Nous avons tout aimé de notre expérience au Barroco. Du service qui était attentionné, où on nous expliquait les plats & donnait des conseils. Aux plats (entrées, plats, dessert) tout était goûteux, surprenant & délicieux.

Absolutely deserving of five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Barocco in Montreal is a total gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels elevated yet welcoming, with beautiful design & an energy that makes the whole experience feel special. The food is exceptional. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, full of flavor, & clearly made with high quality ingredients. You can tell real care goes into both presentation & taste.
The service is top tier. Attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, & genuinely warm. The staff makes you feel taken care of from start to finish, which elevates the entire evening.
Whether you are there for a date night, a celebration, or just an indulgent night out, Barocco delivers on every level. It is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. Highly recommend.
I liked this place a lot! The food was good - & very rich in flavour. I wasn't impressed with the scallop dish, however (pictured); the scallops were tiny & the sauce was very salty. My server was great & I liked the vibe of the place.
The food was great. The service was very friendly & accommodating. Our server explained everything & took care of us. The restaurant size is a bit small & crowded so that can be improved. The atmosphere felt a bit chaotic, too dim lights. But overall great experience.
Both the food & service were beyond exceptional. The braised beef melts in your mouth, the halibut was cooked to perfection. The winter salad was exceptional. More importantly, our server, wish I recalled his name was informative & attentive! My wife & I could not give a higher recommendation. On our way out, a couple asked us if we enjoyed it & should they go try it! Our answer was YES
