Chose Barroco for dinner on the fly while walking around downtown & couldn’t have been happier we did! BEST short rib we’ve had! Marc the bartender was awesome too - highly recommend!
Always a pleasure to come here. & happy to see the place so crowded & doing well. First time there since December 2010
It’s a great place for a romantic dinner

Tried the home made brioche with butter, the grilled octopus & ribsteak
Highly recommend the eggplant grilled

Très bonne expérience, le personnel était souriant & prévenants, aux petits soins pour nous du début à la fin. Quant au repas, certainement l'une des meilleurs viande que j'ai jamais mangé. Le prix est à la hauteur de la qualité !
Je recommande
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!
We had an absolutely delightful time at Barocco last night. I had the short ribs which were outstanding. My husband had their paella. The desserts were unique & delicious. Our waiter was lovely...terrific recommendations & exceptionally friendly! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Old Montreal!

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.
Le service était super. On vérifiait souvent que je ne manque de rien.
J'ai très bien mangé également, avec le service en cinq plat j'ai pu goûter à plusieurs chose, je vous recommande !
The food & service were amazing. I highly recommend. We were 4, we each had different cocktails, appetizers & mains. All were excellent, congratulations to the kitchen staff. Well done.
