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.

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.

Barroco was spectacular. After the unfortunate mix-up with our reservation being cancelled on our anniversary, the team reached out & kindly accommodated us for dinner the following night. We were treated to a beautiful three course dinner with wine pairings for each course. Everything was delicious, generously portioned, & thoughtfully prepared. The space itself was beautiful, intimate, & cozy, & Alex & Sarah took wonderful care of us throughout the evening. We are so grateful we gave Barroco a second chance because it was absolutely worth it.
We had reservations for a Friday night & despite being busy the place was small enough that it still felt cozy & it was easy to have conversations & hear each other. The decor is really beautiful as well.
The food tasted excellent. The staff was attentive & came to check on us regularly & they were also kind enough to modify a dish for us to remove one ingredient we couldn't eat so thank you for that.
The winter menu (we went in December) didn't have much for vegetarians so do be mindful of that (it would be lovely if they could add some) but if you eat seafood &/or meat you'll have some really delicious options.
Always a lovely, cozy time at Barraco bar. Marc, our bartender, is talented & very knowledgeable. If the clever cocktail menu doesn't strike your fancy, his depth of palettes & flavour profiles will find the right notes to refresh you.
Barroco is a very charming restaurant in Old Montreal - super cute atmosphere, cozy, & the music was absolutely on point. The place itself has a really nice vibe, perfect for a romantic dinner or a night out.
Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the food. I ordered the ribeye, & even though I specifically asked for medium, it came way overcooked. The meat was dry & lacked flavor - honestly very, very mediocre for the price. The bill was also quite high, which made the whole experience even more disappointing.
If you decide to go, maybe try something other than the steak, because unfortunately, that was a big letdown.

Magnifique restaurant au coeur du Vieux-Port. L'ambience est très cozy & originale. La nouriture était excellente. Le service impécable. Merci beaucoup !
Excellent experience. The atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy & lively. The drinks were phenomenal. We started with the leeks & scallops, which were delicious, & shared the beef wellington for our main which was fantastic. The steak inside the Wellington was the best cut of meat I've had in a long time.
Our server was very attentive & personable, & gave excellent recommendations. I will make a point of going back to this restaurant the next time I'm in town.
Exquisite dining experience at Barroco.
The atmosphere is charming & has an inviting, cozy feel - perfect for a romantic date night or an elegant night out. Every dish is a true delicacy, crafted with finesse & plated to perfection. Service was stellar.

Our experience at Barroco was outstanding! Service was fabulous, the drinks were unique & delicious, & the food was really tasty. We got the braised beef & the halibut. The brown butter halibut is a must try. We also loved the mezcal espresso martinis for dessert. The ambiance made for a cozy but elevated night.
We had the pleasure of dining at this charming restaurant, the ambiance is cozy yet elegant feel that makes you want to linger a little longer.
The staff were incredibly friendly & attentive from the moment we walked in. They made us feel genuinely welcome & went above & beyond to ensure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.
The food was absolutely delicious - beautifully presented, full of flavor, & clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every dish we tried was a standout.
Overall, this was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for excellent service, great food, & a lovely setting. I'll definitely be coming back!
Came here for the late night menu special for 29$. We tried the beef tartare, the duck & the gnocchi. They were all delicious & flavorful. Definitely worth the price.
The ambiance is nice & cozy. The staff was friendly as well.
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!
Delicious food , we had braised meat, paella, terrine, pumpkin with foie gras , they were all very good, atmosphere is cozy , not cheap but it is worth it, would like go again soon
The braised beef was pretty good but the Butcher's cut steak was extremely bland, unseasoned, & very very fatty (1/4 of the steak was not edible). The mash potato that came with the steak was also very bland I couldnt finish it. The braised beef's sauce saved me tho I had to dip the steak in there cause it tasted like nothing for $75. Service was okay when we came in we werent greeted & had to wait for a while even though we had reservations. Service felt really rushed. Atmosphere was nice & cozy :) overall experience was okay, definitely not worth the pricetag
