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 in Old Montreal is described in reviews as a charming, intimate spot where the atmosphere, warm service, and high quality food and drinks consistently impress guests. The menu features refined French-inspired dishes like braised beef and duck breast, strong cocktails, and memorable desserts, with many praising attentive service, a beautiful interior, and a cozy bar scene. While experiences are largely excellent, some reviews note small portions for the price, occasional overcooked meat, limited vegetarian options, and the setting can feel busy or pricey, yet the place is widely regarded as a memorable, reliable gem that many patrons plan to return to.
Très bonne adresse gastronomique dans le Vieux Port de Montréal, petite salle tamisée, cosy, aux allures de Jazz bar, avec d'excellents cocktails.
Bien que les portions soient parfois justes, on rajoute des madeleines en dessert & on est rassasiés. Mélanges des goûts intéressants, des classiques légèrement revisités avec saveur.
Un service moins bon pour notre 3ème fois.
Je recommande vivement ! (Surtout le Menu spécial en début de semaine).
A very lovely dining experience! Made a reservation for my husband & I on a Thursday evening. The restaurant is very warm, cozy, & charming with stone walls, beamed ceilings, & filled with lovely antiques. We were seated at a cozy, corner table by the window. Our waiter was professional & personable. He was very present throughout our meal. We ordered two of their specialty cocktails, which were fantastic, & two apps (tartare & foie gras) & two entrees (duck & halibut), which were all divine. I HIGHLY recommend a wonderful time here!

Have been several times & this place is amazing. The food is incredible & the staff make sure you are taken care of. Definitely get a reservation & if you enjoy watching good cocktails getting made, sit at the bar.
Went there for my birthday, locals love it here.so had to give it a try. Live the rustic decorations. Small restaurant so make reservations. We started w paper crane cocktail ( a twist on paper plane) it was good but it looked like a 2 oz drink. The glass looked very ball. See photo In NY the get 4 oz drinks. Other than that the food is great. Ayube the waiter/Sommelier:/owner was very friendly n attentive. I got a nice sparklers w after dinner drinks to celebrate my birthday. Very cool.
Barroco was a delightful find. I was intrigued by the decor, & more importantly, the service was incredible. My husband & I started off meeting a wonderful waitress by the name of Alessandra. Alessandra was very helpful in choosing my cocktail for the evening along with our scrumptious dinner. Along with dinner, we wanted to order a bottle of red wine that would pair nicely with the paella we ordered. Alessandra immediately introduced us to a sommelier by the name of Phillip. He was definitely an expert in his field. Phillip shared his passion & experience in describing a bottle of wine that would make our palettes pop. We scored the best bottle of wine with our chosen meal. That particular bottle he chose was absolutely perfect. Thank you, Phillip, for helping us. The evening does not stop there. Alessandra, the waitress circles back to us & offers us a dessert menu. My husband & I had one glass, each of the red wine left to enjoy. Instead of dessert, we asked Alessandra if she could bring a cheese platter with brioche bread. She did just that. Phillip also circled back to us, & once he learned we were essentially having cheese & bread for our dessert with our wine, Phillip was very excitedand said, "Nice choice." Barroco, you have a wonderful restaurant, but what makes it even better is your staff offering their best cutomer experience. Thanks again for making every one of my husband's, & of course, my taste buds explode!!
One of the best meals we have had, not just in Montreal (we are visiting). We did the tasting menu, which was innovative but also classic. They also offer fantastic cocktails sans alcohol (get the Pampelmouse!!). The Quebec mushrooms, paella, & the guinea hen were our favorite savory bites (as well as the brioche), & the chocolate cremeux was a beautiful (& unexpectedly nuanced) finish. Execution was flawless across the board. Service was flawless & welcoming. The decor is fun & eclectic but cozy. I can't say enough good things!
Excellent experience from the ambiance to the service to the cocktails & food. Had the short rib entree which was excellent. Small intimate dinning area, so cute

Excellent food & cocktails, & attentive service. The paella & short ribs were delicious. As were the house made crumpets with roe. Lastly, the decor was incredibly charming & rustic.
Nice location & friendly staff. Light, fruity cocktails were excellent. Heavier cocktails were not well balanced. Food was all excellent, but some dishes were better than others. Beef tartare was exceptional as was the short ribs. Oeuf mollet was surprisingly good, while mushrooms appetizer was surprisingly not good. It was hit or miss. Also was a busy night & the place seemed understaffed & a bit frantic. I would try it again to give them a second chance!
La nourriture & les cocktails sont très bons. Notre serveuse, Alexandra, était adorable, elle nous a très bien expliqué le menu & était très attentive à nos besoins. Elle nous a permis de passer une excellente soirée. Merci beaucoup Alexandra! -Les trois copines :)
Everything we ate & drank was exquisite. They have a refreshing cocktail menu with unique combinations that go down very smoothly. The dinner menu was equally impressive. The brioche melted in our mouths, the octopus was grilled to perfection & the beef tartare was to die for. The beef short rib was so tender I peeled it apart with my fork. The service was a little lackluster & the music was a bit to loud making it hard for us to hear each other at times. Despite those small short comings we will most likely be back for more!

Would absolutely go back. Service attentive, knowledgable but not pushy. Interesting, thoughtful cocktails. Ordered multiple starters & shared an entree with my partner - opportunity to explore more on the menu. Impressive wine selection for all budgets, leaning to those with plenty of disposable income. Tiny spot but cosy - French, European, neighborhood restaurant feel putting out high quality dishes.
Cuisine & service impeccable. Nous avons eu un réel coup de coeur pour l'établissement. La décoration nous fait rentrer dans un univers & dans une ambiance hors du temps. La qualité du service à été impeccable. Un grand merci au chef & barman également pour ce menu dégustation & ses cocktails. Nous reviendrons c'est sure & nous recommendons également les yeux fermés le Barroco.
The food was delightful, the atmosphere was super relaxed & sophisticated & the service was fantastic. We really appreciated to cocktail recommendations & the smooth service.
Amazing place for date night in Old Montreal. We make sure to reserve every year when we visit from Toronto. Fantastic cocktails, great vibe, great food & superior service. The owner & bartender always make sure to give you a great experience. Highly recommend.
The cocktails are amazing 🔥. It was my first time & I cannot complain. The lady at the entrance was nice, so was our waitress too. The tacos with the chicken are so tasty 😋, the meat patty of the burger was well seasoned too. The sauce for the fries will ne more bomb if they add more salt.
