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.

This is the number one restaurant in Montreal. Food is insane. Drinks are unique & their wine selection goes well with their menu. To top it off, the service is unmatched. My wife & I spend every special event there since the day their doors opened (minus Covid days) We are lucky as Montrealers to have such a quality restaurant.

Charming, cozy bistro with friendly, attentive service. My monkfish was superb, served with bacon cracklings. Hubby had the veal & a papery thin mille feuille of potatoes. Also excellent. Great selection of wines. Prices were not astronomical. The original edifice was an 150 year old stable. Old-timey lamps at every table give off a warm glow, a wild boars' head trophy & ancient stone walls make this place a keeper.

I am so disappointed on my last visit here😤. We had a great dinner but it took a turn when we asked for a basket of bread & they have no bread or fries unfortunately they said, BUT they have a homemade brioche that's on the menu to order if we'd like... Please look at that one slice of brioche that came on the plate for $18 🤯, are they out of they're mind It just ruined our night & we continued to dine & wine & went our way & not sure when I'll be back. What a shame

Went with a group & shared food so got to try a large number of dishes from the menu - everything was delicious. Service was on point & very friendly. You can't beat the decor of old Montreal.

Early dinner because the restaurant is small, which was fine with us. We tried the tasting menu for two & every course was superb. I was a bit skeptical about some of the wines-no, go with it, they pair beautifully with the dishes. Great neighborhood to hang around, the sommelier was the best.

It was a special night in the context of Montreal en Lumières, with an excellent chef invited to cook with Jeremie. The menu was excellent but we waited a lot the dishes & some of them were not very warm, which sadly made the experience less enjoyable. Otherwise the place has a nice atmosphere, I recommend to check out!

Everything we ate & drank was exquisite. They have a refreshing cocktail menu with unique combinations that go down very smoothly. The dinner menu was equally impressive. The brioche melted in our mouths, the octopus was grilled to perfection & the beef tartare was to die for. The beef short rib was so tender I peeled it apart with my fork. The service was a little lackluster & the music was a bit to loud making it hard for us to hear each other at times. Despite those small short comings we will most likely be back for more!
