Review Summary

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. The service is repeatedly highlighted as attentive, knowledgeable and accommodating, helping to make celebrations and special occasions feel extra special, though a few nights report slower or less consistent service and some dishes that miss the mark. The atmosphere, music and ambiance are consistently cited as a key attraction, offering a romantic or intimate vibe that remains lively without feeling stuffy, even when crowded. While some comments note price and occasional small portions or limited vegetarian options, overall the reviews describe Barroco as a standout dining experience with high quality food, excellent cocktails and memorable hospitality that invite return visits.

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.

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!

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.

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.

First the atmosphere: It's stylish, cool, comfortable with a great eclectic sound track playing just loud enough so we could still speak comfortably,, with a handsome young clientele, save my wife & & I who are 70 but felt very welcome- the manager personally suggesting we sample the wines before ordering- both wonderful reds, our waitress, actually saying we had made her day. We shared the farm salad with crispy chicken skin bites that added the perfect savory touch to the super fresh greens, fantastic filet mignon, & probably the best lamb I've ever had. We shared the classic French dessert- madeleine's, warm & freshly baked served with an amazing dark chocolate orange/lemon infused truffle with our espressos. The only slight criticism I have is that the bread was served grilled - great idea, but a little burnt which left an aftertaste for hours afterwards. But we definitely plan to return on our next visit to Montreal!

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.

Un petit restaurant de grande qualité, une ambiance conviviale, un service excellent & une expérience culinaire complète. Je mets quand même 4 étoiles pour quelques petites raisons. Nous avions une réservation mais avons dû attendre 35 mins pour être attablés, le serveur nous a donc offert des verres de bulles en attendant dehors comme il faisait très beau. Le menu est riche & appétissant. J'ai trouvé les portions petites pour le prix quand même dispandieux. Tout ce que nous avons mangé était délicieux. La morue était un peu salée à mon goût, mais les plats terre & mer, les entrées & les madeleines sont à ne pas rater. Florian nous a assuré un excellent & plaisant service. Nous avons attendu près de 30 mins pour les entrées, 45 minutes pour les plats & 25 minutes pour le dessert ce que j'ai trouvé quand même long. Nous sommes restés longtemps après l'heure de fermeture & c'est apprécié. Un des petits restaurants à Montréal où la qualité du service & des plats est bien palpable.

Nous avons pris le menu découverte 3 services à 45$. + 2 cocktails chaque. Le tartare de boeuf, le gravlax, la morue, le bucatini, & les panna cotta étaient tous une réussite. Excellente bouffe. Portion du tartare de boeuf & de la morue un peu petite, on en aurait repris volontier tellement c'était bon, mais vraiment rien à redire sur le rapport qualité/prix pour un restaurant en 2025. Les prix sont très raisonnables & ne coûtent pas les yeux de la tête contrairement à plusieurs endroits ailleurs. Même chose pour les cocktails > des belles créations originales qui sont « boozy », & pas juste « 1-2 oz/cocktail » qu'on sent à peine les effets. & la glace est haut de gamme (100% transparente) donc fond beaucoup moins vite, (détail important pour moi). J'y retournerais volontiers!

Pour l'ambiance > tamisée, chaleureuse, belle déco de bon goût, & volume de la salle très correct.

Seul petit bémol > service un peu lent ce soir là, mais toutes nos requêtes ont étés respectées (table près du foyer, facture en même temps que le dessert etc.)

We had a reservation for 9pm but ended up waiting at the bar for 45 minutes without any acknowledgment for the wait, which was disappointing. however, the food was excellent-unique, flavorful, & really good. we loved it! the dessert, the crème au chocolat & madeleines, though, was the least impressive part of the meal

J'ai tout adoré de cet endroit! La déco, l'ambiance (bonne musique variée pour tout les goûts), la nourriture & le service! Très belle carte des vins avec beaucoup de choix, & très beau menu également. +++++ pour la cuisine! J'ai passé un excellent anniversaire, merci pour l'attention sur le dessert!

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).

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!!

Was an awesome experience, servers were so nice & very helpful, very nice interior of the restaurant, love the atmosphere, food is delicious & is worth trying everything! Beef tartare was magnificent, the more changes when I walked in, love the lighting & comforting seats, having farm to table is refreshing to hear knowing the food will be fresh & yummy, from appetizers to dessert simply the best!

This rather small & private restaurant has an amazing ambiance & decor. The food is exceptionnaly good & well presented. I recommend the tasting menu which comes in 5 services plus dessert. The value & the portion sizes are also very good. The service was great as we had a server present every dish that was served & always keep our glasses full. Highly recommend!

Food was good but not memorable. The waiter brought us two shooters in the beginning we didn't request & said it was because we were "appreciated customers" & then also brought us a dessert we didn't order at the end & at first we were overjoyed with the amazing service until the bill arrived & we were charged $11 for each shooter on top of the full priced dessert. I thought that was incredibly tacky & dishonest of them & would not go back for this reason.

Un peu cher si on compare à d'autres adresses similaires mais tout était très bon: les huîtres à tomber, les poissons très bien cuits, les desserts bons & originaux. Les vins trop chers, mais sélection de spiritueux au top

Le service était vraiment impeccable. Pour la nourriture, l'entrée une brioche accompagnée de fromage,radis & cornichon était un vrai delice. C'est au repas principal que cela c'est gâché. Mon magret de canard était cuit inégal. J'ai eu le droit à des morceaux qui avait l'air bleu & très dur à couper. Les endives manquaient d'assaisonnement mais la purée de carotte & le jus était excellent. Ma copine elle a pris la paella & la gambas était trop cuite & la paella n'avait pas la croûte de brûler que doit avoir une paella. Le dessert semifreddo aux pommes poché, chaque composants était un delice séparément mais ensemble ça partais dans tous les sens. Le couple de la table à côté de nous on eu la chance eux de se faire offrir un tartare car ils ont hésité entre deux entrée. Super gentil mais de quoi nous rendre jaloux. Cela dit, je reste un peu déçu de mon expérience surtout en tant que fan de top chef, nous pensions pouvoir voir Jérémie qui était pas là. Ah oui & si vous y allez attendez vous à payer votre eau pétillante même si le serveur vous offre le choix entre de l'eau plat ou pétillante!
