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 in Old Montreal is described in reviews as a charming, intimate spot where the atmosphere, warm service, and high quality food and drinks consistently impress guests. The menu features refined French-inspired dishes like braised beef and duck breast, strong cocktails, and memorable desserts, with many praising attentive service, a beautiful interior, and a cozy bar scene. While experiences are largely excellent, some reviews note small portions for the price, occasional overcooked meat, limited vegetarian options, and the setting can feel busy or pricey, yet the place is widely regarded as a memorable, reliable gem that many patrons plan to return to.

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

We've been to Barroco several times & the ambiance is always fantastic. This visit however we found our food was below our expectations from past visits. I had the paella, which I have had & enjoyed in the past. This time however the portion was considerably smaller & some of the ingredients were disappointing (for example, the calamari was not fresh but rather seemed to be the freeze dried type that you often see in some Asian restaurants). I left somewhat disappointed.

We enjoyed every about our dinner. The staff were all friendly & attentive & we loved the paella. Try the cocktail "A Breezein Cornwall". Uses basil, ginger & honey.

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!

Such a little gem of a restaurant that I'm hesitant to leave a glowing review, so I may keep this not-so-secret pearl all to myself! Our server was professional & fun, not stuffy like other high end restos & took great care to work with my food allergy. The oysters were sublime as were the mignonette & sauce. We had the paella which was so flavourful! My dinner partner claimed it was better than the five he tasted in Spain! A Morgon was recommended which is now at the top of my red wine list. Truly a lovely evening in a beautiful, cozy & vibrant & relaxed atmosphere.
