7 days a week we see our establishment become to Old Port passer by's a newfound treasure, as well as a second home The essence of Barroco doesn't solely reside on a single element, but rather in the harmony of various ingredients that create comfort and a "feel good" dining experience. With pride we hand picked every single detail in our restaurant : from the static motion (décor and set-up) to the impeccable delivery of satisfaction.
Barroco is described as a cozy, intimate gem in Old Montreal with a warm, welcoming staff and a stylish, historic interior that feels elevated yet unpretentious. Reviewers praise thoughtful, high quality French-inspired dishes and creative, well executed cocktails, with standout items like braised beef, beef Wellington, duck breast, halibut, oysters, lobster salad, gravlax, and memorable desserts such as madeleines and brioche. The service is repeatedly highlighted as attentive, knowledgeable and accommodating, helping to make celebrations and special occasions feel extra special, though a few nights report slower or less consistent service and some dishes that miss the mark. The atmosphere, music and ambiance are consistently cited as a key attraction, offering a romantic or intimate vibe that remains lively without feeling stuffy, even when crowded. While some comments note price and occasional small portions or limited vegetarian options, overall the reviews describe Barroco as a standout dining experience with high quality food, excellent cocktails and memorable hospitality that invite return visits.
Tout y est charmant. Design boisé comme dans un chalet avec assiettes vintages en porcelaines accrochées au mur. Lumière tamisée, musique entraînante. & petit bar au fond du restaurant de moins de 10 places. C'est un mélange assez éclectique qui vous attend au Barroco.
La cuisine y est délicieuse avec des produits de qualité & de choix, avec des protéines toutes locales. Elle se réclame gastronomique & du sud de la France. On y retrouve de la ratatouille ou encore de la Chartreuse.
Le grand plus : les sauces! ! Elles sont à tomber. Travailler comme jamais comme le veux la cuisine traditionnelle française.
Je recommande à 1000% de goûter au Suprême de volaille au foie gras & jus de chanterelles. Un pur délice....🫠🤤
I haven't personally dined here, but I am impressed by the ease, speed, & professionalism in getting gift card issued & delivered. I am located in Calgary, & was looking for a gift card as wedding gift for my friend in Montreal. I even received an email confirming when the gift card was claimed. Impressed! Had been browsing other restaurants in old Montreal & their gift card process wasn't nearly as efficient as Barroco's system!
Un très mignon petit restaurant où l'ambiance est bonne & décontractée. Le menu offre des choix gourmets comme gourmands. Une belle sélection de vins & alcools. Le service y est courtois & attentionné. Le quartier n'a plus besoin d'éloges vous marcherez dans les rues pavées du Vieux-Montreal. À découvrir!

I absolutely love this restaurant....I look forward to a meal here whenever I'm in Montreal. The halibut last night was memorable refreshing & yet rich & complex! My daughter & I felt genuinely cared for by our server. He, clearly, loves food & being of service...what a smile!

⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? Best Meal in Montreal
An absolutely exceptional dining experience! The service was top-notch - our server was both friendly & witty, adding a personal touch that made the evening even more enjoyable. Every dish was perfectly seasoned & beautifully presented - from the gratin to the mashed potatoes, everything was spot on.
The fresh lobster salad was a standout, & the butter was so well blended it deserves its own spotlight.
Cocktail? Delicious.
Criticism? None.
We'll definitely be coming back.
Our experience at Barroco was outstanding! Service was fabulous, the drinks were unique & delicious, & the food was really tasty. We got the braised beef & the halibut. The brown butter halibut is a must try. We also loved the mezcal espresso martinis for dessert. The ambiance made for a cozy but elevated night.
We had such a delicious meal. Fresh, local, creative & yummy! Our experience was made even better by our server Marc. He is a passionate & professional barman with a love of the craft.
