About

Barroco fuses rustic Mediterranean foundations with a sophisticated approach to comfort food within a historic, stone-walled setting. The menu centers on elevated Spanish and French influences, highlighting high-quality proteins prepared with deliberate technique and bold seasoning. Patrons encounter a focused selection of small plates designed for sharing, alongside hearty main courses that emphasize depth of flavor through traditional roasting and braising methods. The atmosphere remains consistently intimate, characterized by dim lighting and exposed structural elements that reflect the heritage of the building. Each dish relies on the integrity of seasonal ingredients to define its profile, ensuring that the culinary execution remains both precise and intentional. This establishment offers a cohesive experience that prioritizes the intersection of heritage-inspired recipes and modern preparation styles for a discerning crowd.

Review Summary

Barroco is widely celebrated as a premier dining destination in Old Montreal, consistently praised for its intimate, rustic atmosphere and exceptional service. Guests frequently highlight the quality of the cuisine, with dishes like the braised beef, beef Wellington, and various seafood options earning high accolades for their flavor and preparation. While the restaurant is often described as cozy and perfect for romantic occasions, some patrons note that the space can feel small or occasionally loud.

Our favorite restaurant in Montreal! A charming restaurant with a great vibe. We enjoyed the music they played during dinner. We loved the food. We ordered the brioche bread, the braised beef, the lamb chops & the pavlova with red berries. We will definitely come back!

Absolutely loved Barroco! We were in Montreal for 24hours & chose this restaurant. The place is small & classic with rustic vibes. Ambience was romantic & intimate. The porcelain plates were perfect & traditional. The service was excellent! Our server kindly improved the old fashioned we ordered! Last but not least, the food exceeded my expectations - the filet mignon was cooked to a perfect medium rare & the braised beef was soft & delicious…impeccable!!

This place is so nice & intimate. I was looking for a special spot to celebrate a birthday & wanted a'Happy Birthday' message written on the dessert. Even though they normally don't do that, they went out of their way to do it for us anyway! The service was very nice, & the interior decor is absolutely amazing. The food is also great-I ordered the braised beef, & it was fantastic. I will definitely be coming back! :)

Travellers dining here for the first time. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Food was outstanding. Highly recommend the braised beef. Fork tender with celery root purée. I thought I'd gone to heaven. Heritage building with dim lighting but a lively atmosphere. Would come here again!

Everything about this place was great! The beef Wellington was worth the wait (50 minutes of cooking time), but with some delicious starters like beef tartare & oysters & some drinks it went by fast!

Excellent romantic meal in a charming restaurant. Waitress was very professional & friendly. The Winter salad with chicken liver pate & braised beef O.G. were killer dishes. Cocktails & the imposed two-hour dining limit were less attractive. I look forward to returning to Barroco.

We remembered this place fondly from our last visit to Montreal, & returned to find it was even better than we remembered. The craft cocktails are delightful & the food was incredible. The atmosphere & service are cozy & friendly. Don't miss the mushroom parfait or the O.G. Braised Beef. This is a very special & memorable place.

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

Our final dinner on our trip did not disappoint! Barroco is a small, romantic little place. A petite menu with a little bit of everything. We enjoyed the homemade brioche with onion butter, roasted chicken & our favorites hand down was Braised Beef!
