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 enjoyed every about our dinner. The staff were all friendly & attentive & we loved the paella. Try the cocktail "A Breezein Cornwall". Uses basil, ginger & honey.

Très belle expérience gastronomique. Nous étions 3 . Service á la hauteur dans un cadre agréable & intime. 2 bémols toutefois: 1)la musique d'ambiance bien trop forte ce qui oblige á élever la voix pour s'entendre. De plus le style de musique correspond plus à un bar de nuit branché qu'á un restaurant haut de gamme.
2) nous avons choisi un menu dégustation à 5 plats. Exquis! Mais il est arrivé 2 desserts a partager a 3 . Même si les portions étaient bien correctes , nous aurions apprécié d'avoir 3 assiettes individuelles. Ça aurait eu plus d'allure. & le sabayon plus pratique a déguster á la cuillère.
Si ces 2 points peuvent être corrigés, alors ce sera parfait!!

Best food in Montreal - hands down.
Great Staff
The space is wonderful
The bar makes top notch drinks to your choice. I strongly suggest you try the Old Fashion
Walk past all the other tourist traps in old town & around the city & make your way to Barroco.
You will be VERY happy you did.

PS. The short rib is hands down the best I have ever eaten. It will be for you as well. But what ever you choose, you will leave with a full belly & smile on your face. Don't miss it.

Paella is on pointe.

Short ribs were mostly fat.
