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.
From start to finish, our experience at Barroco was nothing short of incredible. The food was absolutely superb, flavorful, beautifully presented, & cooked to perfection. The drinks were just as impressive, especially the Cantaloupe cocktail, which was one of the best I've ever had.
What truly made the evening unforgettable, though, was the exceptional service. Our server (I wish I remembered his name, but we know he's from France!) was warm, knowledgeable, & incredibly attentive. Every recommendation he made was spot on. The manager also went above & beyond to make us feel welcomed & cared for.
Their hospitality left a lasting impression on me, & I'll definitely be back. Barroco, became one of my favorite dining spots out of all the place I being around the world.

This place is in the heart of old Montreal, & in one of the most touristy spots in town. Often that means high cost, mediocre quality, but that's not the case here. A limited but well thought out menu that is amazingly executed. One of the best dinners i had in Montreal. Daily specials & regular traditional French dishes are amazing. If you brought me there, blind folded, & let me try the food, I would swear i was in France! Great job!
Decadent but worth it! We had great service in a charming space & that OG Braised Beef is insanely good. Unlike anything I've had (& I'm from Kansas City & have had lots of braised beef)! Lobster salad & gravlax were also great. All around lovely dinner for our last night in Montreal.
This was my second time visiting Barroco, & my husband's first. The service was impeccable. Our waiter & the manager were very friendly & they gave us good recommendations. The atmosphere of this restaurant couldn't be any cozier. It's beautiful with its stone walls & decor. The food & my margarita were 10/10. This is also the place that changed my mind about oysters, which I now love! We will absolutely be back.

Exceptional food. My tastebuds were really delighted as I discovered new flavors. The staff is hospitable & knows the menu well. We have so many restaurants in Montreal, but this is worth the visit.
We love coming to Barocco when we visit Montreal. The staff are so lovely & welcoming & the food is incredible. We sat at the bar & Marc the bartender there made our experience above & beyond. He was personable & gave us amazing recommendations on what to eat & drink. Highly recommend this gem in Montreal!!

This used to be our favourite spot. We had one bad experience a year ago, where the food just wasn't as good as it used to be.. today we decided to give it another try in hopes that it would be as good as we remembered years ago.. but again tonight was so disappointing! The tartare & chicken this evening was underwhelming to say the least. We returned both plates. I'm not sure what happened to this place but it's just not like it once was unfortunately. Very sad.. the service however is great!
All round the experience was great, across the three categories. The restaurant ambience was perfect for sharing a meal & having great conversation! The waiter who took care of us was extremely knowledgeable on the menu options & had fantastic recommendations!
If given the opportunity I would definitely go back, & I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good night out in Montreal.

We had a great night this past week at Barroco. Atmosphere is unique, historic & super cool. It's not a big place but it's a great environment. Phillip & his team took good care of us. They were friendly & attentive. The food was great.
Un petit restaurant de grande qualité, une ambiance conviviale, un service excellent & une expérience culinaire complète. Je mets quand même 4 étoiles pour quelques petites raisons. Nous avions une réservation mais avons dû attendre 35 mins pour être attablés, le serveur nous a donc offert des verres de bulles en attendant dehors comme il faisait très beau. Le menu est riche & appétissant. J'ai trouvé les portions petites pour le prix quand même dispandieux. Tout ce que nous avons mangé était délicieux. La morue était un peu salée à mon goût, mais les plats terre & mer, les entrées & les madeleines sont à ne pas rater. Florian nous a assuré un excellent & plaisant service. Nous avons attendu près de 30 mins pour les entrées, 45 minutes pour les plats & 25 minutes pour le dessert ce que j'ai trouvé quand même long. Nous sommes restés longtemps après l'heure de fermeture & c'est apprécié. Un des petits restaurants à Montréal où la qualité du service & des plats est bien palpable.
