What an amazing little spot. We sat at the bar & Mark took excellent care of us. From cocktails, to appetizers & wine to entres. T'was an exceptional experience with amazing food & service. Would highly recommend.
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!

Amazing experience at Barocco! The atmosphere is elegant, the food was delicious, & the service was outstanding. The wine selection was perfect, & every detail made the evening special. Highly recommend for a great night out!
The tasting menu & service were both absolute perfection, highly recommend for a romanic date night or celebration dinner. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday dinner & can't wait to go back to Montreal just to eat here again!
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!
Amazing tastebud experience. I tried the tasting, which consisted of 5 preset courses & a dessert. The taste & variety of each course had my senses running. Hard to choose my favorite course. Marc at the bar held down the entertainment & knowledge of the courses & their pairings. I highly suggest sitting at seat 1 or 2 at the bar to see the acrobats of Chef & his staff in the kitchen making this all come together. Definitely would recommend for a nice, relaxing, no rush meal.

From the moment we entered to the moment we left, we had an exceptional time. Subdued lighting for a romantic dinner, beautiful rustic decor with some comedic hints on the hanging dishes, quick & receptive service, food that made us take a moment to close our eyes & really enjoy the experience happening in our mouths (lol). We decided to try the Tasting Menu & our expectations were exceeded. Highly recommend!!!
Excellent cuisine & extremely dedicated Staff provided one of the best dining experiences we had in Old Montreal. Highly recommended. Will definitely visit again. Mark & Karlyn.
Amazing night we had in Barroco! The place is really cozy & well decorated. The food was incredible. We order the octopus, the brioche & the steak with truffle butter... everything tasted really good. Plus, the attention & cordiality from our waiter Luca was incredible. It was my wife's birthday & highly recommend this place for a special occasion.
Once again we had an exceptional dining experience at Barroco. The food was phenomenal; Luca, our server, as always, was attentive & gracious & the ambiance set off a great vibe (Barroco has the best playlist in Montreal!). Highly recommend it!
