7 days a week we see our establishment become to Old Port passer by's a newfound treasure, as well as a second home The essence of Barroco doesn't solely reside on a single element, but rather in the harmony of various ingredients that create comfort and a "feel good" dining experience. 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.
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.

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.
Had the most amazing time here with the food, the service & the fun conversations with our host Alexandra. Definitely a 100% recommended for anyone in Montreal
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!!!

It was a special night in the context of Montreal en Lumières, with an excellent chef invited to cook with Jeremie. The menu was excellent but we waited a lot the dishes & some of them were not very warm, which sadly made the experience less enjoyable. Otherwise the place has a nice atmosphere, I recommend to check out!
Service & atmosphere was wonderful. We had the mushroom appetizer & it was very good. Definitely recommend that. My short ribs had a reduction that was thick & like molasses. It was too rich & hard to eat a lot of. Parsnip puree needed seasoning & the steak my husband ordered needed to be seasoned. But the experience was very nice. The food needs more attention
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!
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!!!

Amazing place for date night in Old Montreal. We make sure to reserve every year when we visit from Toronto. Fantastic cocktails, great vibe, great food & superior service. The owner & bartender always make sure to give you a great experience. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful time! Staff & service was excellent, our dinners were great & we'd definitely recommend Barroco to others! We were celebrating our honeymoon & the server kindly brought us a complimentary glass of bubly which was much appreciated! Thank you!
I celebrated my birthday here with my parents, decent food, atmosphere is nice & cozy, & the service was good. For appetizer,the grilled octopus & for dessert millefuille is a highly recommended!
