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.
Wonderful dinner out with family. Beautiful restaurant, great service, & the food was delicious. Braised beef was a favorite & hangar steak was amazing.
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 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.
Exquisite dining experience at Barroco.
The atmosphere is charming & has an inviting, cozy feel - perfect for a romantic date night or an elegant night out. Every dish is a true delicacy, crafted with finesse & plated to perfection. Service was stellar.

We had one night in Montreal. Barroco had great reviews & did not disappoint. Three of us had the braised beef & I had a duck breast special. There was not a morsel left. To start I had oysters & others had the scallops. Both were winners. George our server was terrific. It's a little pricey but for one night! Great wine list. I'd go back for sure.

Five stars all around. Beautiful intimate surroundings , perfect vibe, amazing food & on-point service. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for & the value here is unbeatable.
Tremendous food experience. We had the oysters, a farm salad, & the beef Wellington for 2. The service was delightful & the food delicious. It's a small restaurant with about 12 tables & that un hurried & gracious European dining style. Our best meal in Montreal.
