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.
Right from being greeted our experience was great. Our waiter was very engaging & knowledgeable. Great food & great experience. Thanks for a lovely evening.
Le service aurait pu être un peu moins expédié, les assiettes sont vraiment arrivées les unes après les autres. Je laisse un 5 étoiles tout de même. Tous les membres de l'équipe ont été courtois, professionnels & serviables.
L'expérience en soit était incroyable. Bonne ambiance & vraiment bonne nourriture. Je me permets de dire un commentaire: Notre serveur nous a offert des "shooters" lorsqu'on lui a annoncé qu'on célébrait nos 6 ans ensemble & il a fini par les charger à notre facture. Même si les shooters étaient vraiment pas bon, on les a payés & rien dit, car nous ne voulions pas défaire un seul moment de notre belle soirée, mais en temps réel ce serait mieux que quand le serveur offre des shooters, ne pas les charger aux clients. Ce n'est pas une question d'argent, mais bien une question de principe & avec mon expérience en service à la clientèle ... it goes a long way! Sur ce, belle soirée & belle expérience. Merci
I had been really looking forward to checking out this place, but it turned into quite a disaster... Unfortunately, a few hours after dining with a friend, I experienced bad food poisoning (perhaps due to the seafood).. The short ribs were tender but extremely salty, & everything else was just average (or below average). For the price I paid, it's safe to say it fell far short of my expectations.
La qualité de la nourriture était remarquable. Cependant, l'entrée de pieuvre était légèrement surcuite, ce qui lui a conféré une texture plutôt caoutchouteuse. Par ailleurs, je tiens à souligner l'excellent service offert par Charlotte.

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 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!
