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 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!

The food at Barroco remains the best & most consistent in the city.
& in a city like Montreal, known for its great restaurants, that says everything.
The staff is attentive & omnipresent. The inside is cozy with great lighting & spot on playlist.
I suggest the short rib. The best you will ever have, but the artic char was also amazing.
In truth, whatever you select will soon become your all-time favorite.
Start with the famous Old Fashion before moving on to the deep & well curated wine list.
Above all, Lucca, the GM at the host stand cares for guests more like family members than restaurant goers.
You will end your meal planning for your next visit as Barroco will be your go to for a world-class overall dining experience.

We got really lucky one day & snagged a last minute reservation on my birthday while on vacation in Montreal. My boyfriend & I still talk about the food here (it’s been a year) & how we can’t wait to come back when we come to Montreal again. & soon as we plan a trip back this will be the first place we make a reservation.
