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.

Contexte on y est allé pour mon aniv avec deux amies en fin août. Certes le restaurant est beau, cependant le serveur & le service boff. Notre serveur était très condescendant, dès que mes amis ont mentionné qu'ils allaient partager leur entrée l'attitude du staff a changé. La table à côté c'était des touristes anglophones & laissez-moi vous dire que le serveur est excellent dans le profilage, car son service pour eux était bien meilleur que le nôtre! Au niveau de la nourriture, j'ai bien aimé l'entrée de pieuvre, un peu dispendieuse pour la quantité, mais niveau goût c'était bon. La Paella, j'ai pas trop aimé personnellement. On avait essayé leur plat de canard, si je me souviens bien, & c'était bon aussi. Au final, qu'une table dépense 100$ ou 500$, on travaille pour cet argent, on ne le vole pas, donc traiter vos clients avec dignité!

Have been several times & this place is amazing. The food is incredible & the staff make sure you are taken care of. Definitely get a reservation & if you enjoy watching good cocktails getting made, sit at the bar.

Nice food but even better service

I ordered the grilled octopus, the squash with foie gras, the paella barroco, & the butcher's cut (an 18oz ribeye steak). The grilled octopus was delicious, though $35 for the portion served felt a bit pricey. The foie gras didn't quite suit my taste. The standout dish of the night was definitely the paella, easily the best I've had in Montreal. Unfortunately, the ribeye steak was very DISAPPOINTING. Priced at $75 & meant to be shared by two, it came with a choice of sauce (we selected truffle butter). However, when the steak arrived, it was already quite COLD, so much so that the butter wouldn't even melt when placed on top. Normally, I would have rated this meal 4 stars despite the mishaps, but a final issue made it hard to do so. When my partner mentioned to the waitress that the steak had been underwhelming (both in temperature & quality) & that we hadn't been told it would cost $75, she responded rather coldly, insisting she had informed us of the price-though we hadn't been told. While we likely would have ordered it anyway, given it's a reasonable price, the attitude at the end left us feeling let down.

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!

Very small & cozy restaurant. Great service at first. Turns out, they charged me 32$ for a Paloma drink. Really! Are we at the Ritz ? Also, they have like 4 choices of food on the menu, very limited. But seriously how can a normal basic drink as tequila & pamplemousse juice can cost as much as a gnocchi meal ? Do not waist your time. Not worth it.

The tasting menu & service were both absolute perfection, highly recommend for a romanic date night or celebration dinner. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday dinner & can't wait to go back to Montreal just to eat here again!
