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.
Excellent food & cocktails, & attentive service. The paella & short ribs were delicious. As were the house made crumpets with roe. Lastly, the decor was incredibly charming & rustic.

Barroco a Montreal offre un'atmosfera accogliente e chic con una cucina francese mediterranea ispirata. Le costolette di manzo e la paella sono piatti eccezionali. I clienti elogiano il servizio attento e l'ambiente intimo, anche se può risultare un po' stretto. Ideale per occasioni speciali, è una visita obbligata per la cucina raffinata nel Vecchio Montreal.
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
Nice location & friendly staff. Light, fruity cocktails were excellent. Heavier cocktails were not well balanced. Food was all excellent, but some dishes were better than others. Beef tartare was exceptional as was the short ribs. Oeuf mollet was surprisingly good, while mushrooms appetizer was surprisingly not good. It was hit or miss. Also was a busy night & the place seemed understaffed & a bit frantic. I would try it again to give them a second chance!
Stopped in on a solo trip & had one of the top 3 meals of my life! The short rib was to die for! Sat at the bar & the bartender was very helpful & friendly!
The experience was absolutely incredible. The atmosphere was inviting & beautifully decorated. The food was top-notch, truly some of the best I've ever had. Every dish was authentically prepared & bursting with flavor. The ingredients were fresh, & the presentations were impeccable. Our waitress, Alexandra, was amazing. She was friendly, full of life, & exceptionally professional. Alexandra's warm personality & attentive service made our dining experience even more enjoyable! She went above & beyond to ensure we had everything we needed & made excellent recommendations. 💯!!!
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.
The service is at Barroco is good, but our food was not worth what we paid. My steak was incredibly tough, which was not an issue with how it was cooked. It was not a good quality piece of beef. My wife & I arrived when they opened & were the first or second table served. Our food was room temperature & cold when it arrived. Overall, not a great experience.
