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.

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.

The food was beautiful, the staff was beautiful & the place is beautiful. The drinks are very nicely made, & the food is perfectly balanced. The brioche was delicate & the cheese & butter that it came with were a wonderful paring. The salad with anchovies & bacon was delicious. The hen had a wonderful creamy sauce & soft mushrooms. The pasta with ricotta was truly delight. We had a dessert that we ate so quickly I forgot to take a picture but it had a very nice apple confit on top. Lastly the staff was not only gorgeous but they were funny, knowledgeable & attentive. I'd love to come back & get through the entire menu.

We sat at the bar & the bartender was very very good! We enjoyed his company & knowledge of the menu/drinks. I found the short ribs a little too salty but they were very gracious about it. My daughter really enjoyed her paella. I would definitely go again!

An incredible experience with drinks & dinner at the bar, made even more incredible by Marc. He made our delicious dinner an unforgettable experience that wouldn't have been the same without him.

What a romantic little resto in the heart of the old port. The paella was soooo good, although years ago I remember it was served on traditional Spanish paella pans? The steak yummm! cooked & seasoned perfectly. Drinks, always strong like I like it. I'm an early eater, otherwise make sure you make reservations

A great Birthday in a great room with terrific food. The beef short rib was special. The rack of lamb was disappointing but the drinks & appetizers superb.

Best food in Montreal - hands down.
Great Staff
The space is wonderful
The bar makes top notch drinks to your choice. I strongly suggest you try the Old Fashion
Walk past all the other tourist traps in old town & around the city & make your way to Barroco.
You will be VERY happy you did.

PS. The short rib is hands down the best I have ever eaten. It will be for you as well. But what ever you choose, you will leave with a full belly & smile on your face. Don't miss it.

We love this place & regret that we only went for a drink at the bar but ended up ordering a little bit of food which blew us away. We had a brioche with olive oil butter & a pasta dish with morels. Very simple but absolutely delicious & perfectly executed. It was our last night in Montreal so wish we could have stayed one more night so we could have a full meal. Hopefully we'll make our way back there again! The bartender made great cocktails & provided awesome service at the bar. The ambience is cozy & inviting. This place has everything we love about drinking/dining out!

Only half of our party had their drink orders taken, the other half never was asked. We were given dessert menus & the order was never taken. It took 1 full hour after our meals were done to get our bill. The waiter never asked about dessert we had to flag him down for our cheque.
