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 most important thing is always the food. We loved the mushroom appetizer (could have been hotter), but unfortunately the short rib reduction was thick, overpowering & made it so rich it was hard to eat all of it. The steak, potatoes & parsnip needed salt & seasoning. Taste before it leaves the kitchen.

Service & atmosphere was wonderful. We had the mushroom appetizer & it was very good. Definitely recommend that. My short ribs had a reduction that was thick & like molasses. It was too rich & hard to eat a lot of. Parsnip puree needed seasoning & the steak my husband ordered needed to be seasoned. But the experience was very nice. The food needs more attention

The servers were fantastic. The ham, sardines, deviled eggs, & short ribs were all stellar. Will definitely be returning soon.

The atmosphere & food was amazing. Unfortunately our server was very rude & clearly had zero interest in doing his job. He was annoyed the entire time of taking an order & tried to give zero communication during our entire time there. It is unfortunate because this was a business meeting & I was hoping to show off Montreal culture at a local restaurant. I am not sure if I would return due to the attitude of the serving staff.

I guess I went in with big expectations from what I saw on the website! Appetizers : we had the ham which was basically prosciutto with 2 pieces of grilled bread & 4 tiny pieces of picked vegetables. Anchovies on bread pretty good Devilled eggs at $5 per half an egg nothing Oysters very fresh & good Main courses braised beef was very dry & liked warm at best Rib steak was good mashed potato cold Overall it was ok but nothing special We still had a nice evening
