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.

We didn’t have a reservation so we got a table outside which was rather cozy & cute . As appetizers we ordered the Burrata & the octopus which were ok . We felt that the raspberry vinaigrette didn’t really work with the burrata & the octopus was a bit overcooked. However as a main course we ordered the beef short ribs & a glass of red wine both were delicious & worked very well together . For dessert we got the millefeuille which was also pretty good . Service was good & friendly .

Très bon restaurant. Que ce soit dans l'assiette comme dans le service en salle, tout était réussi. Dommage que le chef Jérémie Falissard n'ait pas été présent ce soir là, l'expérience aurait été d'autant plus inoubliable 😉

One of our fave restaurants for years when we visit Montreal. Although the food was still excellent we found the service quite impersonal. Staff seemed more interested in socializing with each other & some customers in a certain age group over others. Slightly disappointing as a result.

Barroco was a recommendation from a friend. We didn't know if it would live up to the hype, but it exceeded our expectations. The food was exceptional, the service was thoughtful & not rushed & the ambiance was charming.

We've been to Barroco several times & the ambiance is always fantastic. This visit however we found our food was below our expectations from past visits. I had the paella, which I have had & enjoyed in the past. This time however the portion was considerably smaller & some of the ingredients were disappointing (for example, the calamari was not fresh but rather seemed to be the freeze dried type that you often see in some Asian restaurants). I left somewhat disappointed.
