About

Barroco fuses rustic Mediterranean foundations with a sophisticated approach to comfort food within a historic, stone-walled setting. The menu centers on elevated Spanish and French influences, highlighting high-quality proteins prepared with deliberate technique and bold seasoning. Patrons encounter a focused selection of small plates designed for sharing, alongside hearty main courses that emphasize depth of flavor through traditional roasting and braising methods. The atmosphere remains consistently intimate, characterized by dim lighting and exposed structural elements that reflect the heritage of the building. Each dish relies on the integrity of seasonal ingredients to define its profile, ensuring that the culinary execution remains both precise and intentional. This establishment offers a cohesive experience that prioritizes the intersection of heritage-inspired recipes and modern preparation styles for a discerning crowd.

Review Summary

Barroco is widely celebrated as a premier dining destination in Old Montreal, consistently praised for its intimate, rustic atmosphere and exceptional service. Guests frequently highlight the quality of the cuisine, with dishes like the braised beef, beef Wellington, and various seafood options earning high accolades for their flavor and preparation. While the restaurant is often described as cozy and perfect for romantic occasions, some patrons note that the space can feel small or occasionally loud. Although a few visitors have pointed out premium pricing or longer wait times during busy periods, the consensus remains that the combination of creative cocktails, high-quality ingredients, and a welcoming staff makes this establishment a must-visit experience.

The braised beef was pretty good but the Butcher's cut steak was extremely bland, unseasoned, & very very fatty (1/4 of the steak was not edible). The mash potato that came with the steak was also very bland I couldnt finish it. The braised beef's sauce saved me tho I had to dip the steak in there cause it tasted like nothing for $75. Service was okay when we came in we werent greeted & had to wait for a while even though we had reservations. Service felt really rushed. Atmosphere was nice & cozy :) overall experience was okay, definitely not worth the pricetag

Sat at the bar had a set menu. Way over priced in my opinion. At $150 for 5 courses there are better options on Montreal. I expected so much more.

This was the first place we visited in Montreal, & I'm so glad we made reservations here! The food was phenomenal. Our waiter was so charming & even made suggestions of where we should go once he knew we were on vacation. The restaurant itself is so cozy & has a very homey feeling. I would love to come back sometime!

Full 5 star experience. Everything from the food, service & restaurant vibe was perfect. The BBQ oysters did not disappoint. My only regret was not ordering 6 more. The farm salad was very flavourful but also fresh. Their braised beef (signature meal) was excellent. (If you don't love celery then I'd say choose something else since their potato purée does have a strong celery taste to it) Waitress was very knowledgeable, showed confidence in the menu & also caught on that it was a special occasion so she brought out a sparkler. Last but not least - drinks were also made to perfection. Paid parking lot 10 steps away from the resto came in handy. Can't wait to be back - specifically for the BBQ oysters.

Mais quelle belle soirée! Les plats étaient merveilleux & toute l'équipe a su s'adapter à ma condition. Je n'ai jamais eu l'impression que cela les dérangeait une seule fois. J'ai vraiment apprécié ma soirée, merci énormément!

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.
