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.

We were on a family vacation from the US. The service & atmosphere was amazing. My wife & daughter were vegans & the chef went out of his way to make two dishes not on the menu to make their dining experience magical. Highly recommend!!!

One of the top during my trip in Montreal. Oysters are fresh, steak is well seasoned & tastes amazing with truffle butter. Paella highly recommended, definitely worth trying!
