Barroco is a very charming restaurant in Old Montreal - super cute atmosphere, cozy, & the music was absolutely on point. The place itself has a really nice vibe, perfect for a romantic dinner or a night out.

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the food. I ordered the ribeye, & even though I specifically asked for medium, it came way overcooked. The meat was dry & lacked flavor - honestly very, very mediocre for the price. The bill was also quite high, which made the whole experience even more disappointing.

If you decide to go, maybe try something other than the steak, because unfortunately, that was a big letdown.

Expérience parfaite. Nos plats étaient réconfortants, le service était présent sans être intrusif & la musique rap éclectique a parfaitement posé l'ambiance : très décontractée, niveau sonore général bien contrôlé pour s'entendre parler sans entendre la table d'à côté !

Magnifique restaurant au coeur du Vieux-Port. L'ambience est très cozy & originale. La nouriture était excellente. Le service impécable. Merci beaucoup !

First the atmosphere: It's stylish, cool, comfortable with a great eclectic sound track playing just loud enough so we could still speak comfortably,, with a handsome young clientele, save my wife & & I who are 70 but felt very welcome- the manager personally suggesting we sample the wines before ordering- both wonderful reds, our waitress, actually saying we had made her day. We shared the farm salad with crispy chicken skin bites that added the perfect savory touch to the super fresh greens, fantastic filet mignon, & probably the best lamb I've ever had. We shared the classic French dessert- madeleine's, warm & freshly baked served with an amazing dark chocolate orange/lemon infused truffle with our espressos. The only slight criticism I have is that the bread was served grilled - great idea, but a little burnt which left an aftertaste for hours afterwards. But we definitely plan to return on our next visit to Montreal!

The flavours in this was something else. & the beef for main cooked to perfection again the flavours in the jus & puree was delicious. Highly recommend this place.

Le repas était très bon. Le boeuf braisé cuit à la perfection. Le seul bémol est la brioche très petite & qui a l'air industrielle pour 9$.

Fourth time in 5 years. We try to go every time we are in Montreal. Nice ambience in a small, old Montreal setting. Exceptional food & wine. Beautiful service as unobtrusive or nice banter as you want it to be. Exceptional at servicing gluten free & food intolerances. We always have fun here for two or a bigger group. They are often full but sometimes you get lucky calling day before or same day.

AMAZING food, great service!

We randomly saw this gem while wandering the streets & instantly fell in love with the vibe from the outside! We ended up having one of the best meals we've had in Montreal, & that's saying a lot, given how much good food this city has! Everything was incredible, & the staff was so kind & welcoming. It is a unique & high quality place in the middle of Old Town.
Highly recommend!

Excellent meal except for the fact there were no vegetables. Also it was too
expensive. We were surprised to find our drinks were $22 each.

Excellent experience. The atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy & lively. The drinks were phenomenal. We started with the leeks & scallops, which were delicious, & shared the beef wellington for our main which was fantastic. The steak inside the Wellington was the best cut of meat I've had in a long time.

Our server was very attentive & personable, & gave excellent recommendations. I will make a point of going back to this restaurant the next time I'm in town.
