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.
This place is perfection in every way. It was completely full & so busy but our server never seemed flustered or rushed in any way. She was lovely, provided impeccable service & never missed an opportunity to pour our wine. The food was top notch. I had the beef tartare & poached halibut & my husband had the chicken liver parfait & braised beef. Every bite was amazing. Such a memorable meal in a beautiful setting. You definitely need a reservation & rightly so. Fantastic all round.
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!
Barroco was a delightful find. I was intrigued by the decor, & more importantly, the service was incredible. My husband & I started off meeting a wonderful waitress by the name of Alessandra. Alessandra was very helpful in choosing my cocktail for the evening along with our scrumptious dinner. Along with dinner, we wanted to order a bottle of red wine that would pair nicely with the paella we ordered. Alessandra immediately introduced us to a sommelier by the name of Phillip. He was definitely an expert in his field. Phillip shared his passion & experience in describing a bottle of wine that would make our palettes pop. We scored the best bottle of wine with our chosen meal. That particular bottle he chose was absolutely perfect. Thank you, Phillip, for helping us. The evening does not stop there. Alessandra, the waitress circles back to us & offers us a dessert menu. My husband & I had one glass, each of the red wine left to enjoy. Instead of dessert, we asked Alessandra if she could bring a cheese platter with brioche bread. She did just that. Phillip also circled back to us, & once he learned we were essentially having cheese & bread for our dessert with our wine, Phillip was very excitedand said, "Nice choice." Barroco, you have a wonderful restaurant, but what makes it even better is your staff offering their best cutomer experience. Thanks again for making every one of my husband's, & of course, my taste buds explode!!
Truly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The service from the host to the captain was incredible, every need was anticipated. The food was phenomenal & would recommend the chefs tasting menu to all. The wine menu was thorough & the pairing accompanied the tasting menu perfectly. The beef short ribs are a must order dish. Can't wait to come back!
We arrived early to our reservation, & we're offered complimentary prosecco while waiting. The atmosphere is so cool & the staff is so incredibly attentive & kind... Even when I spilled some wine on myself. The food was really good. I dont know if our pallets aren't up to snuff or a couple our dishes were off from what we expected for the price point (HIGH). We enjoyed it overall.
This is the number one restaurant in Montreal. Food is insane. Drinks are unique & their wine selection goes well with their menu. To top it off, the service is unmatched. My wife & I spend every special event there since the day their doors opened (minus Covid days) We are lucky as Montrealers to have such a quality restaurant.
Charming, cozy bistro with friendly, attentive service. My monkfish was superb, served with bacon cracklings. Hubby had the veal & a papery thin mille feuille of potatoes. Also excellent. Great selection of wines. Prices were not astronomical. The original edifice was an 150 year old stable. Old-timey lamps at every table give off a warm glow, a wild boars' head trophy & ancient stone walls make this place a keeper.
I am so disappointed on my last visit here😤. We had a great dinner but it took a turn when we asked for a basket of bread & they have no bread or fries unfortunately they said, BUT they have a homemade brioche that's on the menu to order if we'd like... Please look at that one slice of brioche that came on the plate for $18 🤯, are they out of they're mind It just ruined our night & we continued to dine & wine & went our way & not sure when I'll be back. What a shame
