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.

L'expérience en soit était incroyable. Bonne ambiance & vraiment bonne nourriture. Je me permets de dire un commentaire: Notre serveur nous a offert des "shooters" lorsqu'on lui a annoncé qu'on célébrait nos 6 ans ensemble & il a fini par les charger à notre facture. Même si les shooters étaient vraiment pas bon, on les a payés & rien dit, car nous ne voulions pas défaire un seul moment de notre belle soirée, mais en temps réel ce serait mieux que quand le serveur offre des shooters, ne pas les charger aux clients. Ce n'est pas une question d'argent, mais bien une question de principe & avec mon expérience en service à la clientèle ... it goes a long way! Sur ce, belle soirée & belle expérience. Merci

Quirky, upbeat atmosphere, though overly dark. I had the deer special, which was over cooked. Delicious wine, amazing oysters, kind, helpful staff!

Looked like it was going to be a lot better than it was. All a bit basic.

I had been really looking forward to checking out this place, but it turned into quite a disaster... Unfortunately, a few hours after dining with a friend, I experienced bad food poisoning (perhaps due to the seafood).. The short ribs were tender but extremely salty, & everything else was just average (or below average). For the price I paid, it's safe to say it fell far short of my expectations.

La qualité de la nourriture était remarquable. Cependant, l'entrée de pieuvre était légèrement surcuite, ce qui lui a conféré une texture plutôt caoutchouteuse. Par ailleurs, je tiens à souligner l'excellent service offert par Charlotte.

The last three times I've been to Montreal from the US West Coast & keep returning to your gem of a bistro & will certainly return again. Merci.

What a romantic little resto in the heart of the old port. The paella was soooo good, although years ago I remember it was served on traditional Spanish paella pans? The steak yummm! cooked & seasoned perfectly. Drinks, always strong like I like it. I'm an early eater, otherwise make sure you make reservations

We had a wonderful time! Staff & service was excellent, our dinners were great & we'd definitely recommend Barroco to others! We were celebrating our honeymoon & the server kindly brought us a complimentary glass of bubly which was much appreciated! Thank you!
