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.

Small & intimate restaurant with great service. Overall food was good. We ordered medium rare ribeye & it came out medium well, a bit on the dry side but it was quite tasty so we just ate it. Spaghetti was delicious.

Nous avons été servis par Charlotte. Malheureusement, sa compagnie n'a pas été très agréable: peu aimable voire hautaine, peu communicative & plutôt peu informée de la carte des alcools. Son comportement semblait être le même auprès des tables alentour. Cela a grandement nuit à notre expérience & nous ne sommes pas certains de revenir au Barroco pour cette raison. Bien dommage!

We had a wonderful meal at Barroco. The service was stellar (thanks Esme), the food was delicious (we loved the short ribs & the homemade spaghetti with pesto russo), & the atmosphere & decor was very charming. We'll be back some day for sure!
