Incredible service but unfortunately my wife & I had to leave after the appetizer over food safety concerns. The oysters were spoiled, we eat oysters weekly & have a developed palate for this sort of thing- never have I had an actual spoiled oyster until last night. The rest of the seafood was good. Once the mains came, her lamb was grey & tough & my tagliatelle tasted like mold, & I love stinky/aged cheeses, it tasted more like curdled spoiled cream & the pasta itself was incredibly overcooked & mushy. The morels were also hard & inedible. Disappointing & actually concerning, but the staff were lovely. I noticed everyone was ordering the braised beef & potatoes- maybe that's the safest food item on their menu. Bill came to $300 for 4 drinks & an app.

The only downside of this place is that we visited it on our first night in town & we don't know how any where else will even come close. The atmosphere was just what we wanted for a cold wintery night. We sat at the bar & the service was the best I've had in a while. Not only was the bartender, Joaquin, attentive but he really knew his drinks & food. Food was unexpectedly delicious as well. I got the special & it did not disappoint. Wish we had a place like this back home.

Edit: We came back 5 years later in the summer & just as good as we remember!

We made a last minute reservation at the bar & weren't sure what to expect. It was fantastic! Service was excellent, drinks & food were incredible. We were able to take our time & weren't rushed. Just overall great experience & highly recommend

I have been to Barocco many times, which is why I chose to celebrate my birthday here. Unfortunately, the experience was really disappointing.

The service was slow from the start, our drinks took forever, & we were served a weak Casamigos after the bottle had run out. Our concern was initially denied, then confirmed when staff admitted they were out of Casamigos-yet we were still charged for it. Later, after moving an empty plate to the booth beside us to make room on the table, our waitress accused us of trying to steal it, which was both unnecessary & insulting.

The food was genuinely great, but the service took away from what should have been a special birthday celebration.

It's a shame, because this used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal. Sadly, we'll be taking a break from coming back.

What an amazing experience! The lights off the streets attracted us in & the vibe, décore & wonderful service made us instantly know we were in the perfect spot.
We sat at the bar & Marc was our host. he makes the best drinks & was honestly one of the most genuine great people I've met in a long time. The food was delicious & every item we saw come from the kitchen made us want to order even more.

Thank you Marc & see you again soon!

Our waitress was lovely but from the time we sat down, we felt rushed. She returned three times in 10 minutes to see if we were ready to order drinks. Since we don't speak French it took us a bit longer to get through the menu. I think this was a one off though as she was very accommodating after she realized we weren't in a hurry. We were there 1.5 hours total so we weren't looking to overstay.

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!

The special drinks were delicious. The crusty halibut was one of the best fish dishes I have ever eaten. My husband enjoy his steak. The Octopus & russian salad was tasty. We ordered brioche & butter & only got one tiny roll to share. Disappointing for $9 Canadian dollars
