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.

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.
Came here for the late night menu special for 29$. We tried the beef tartare, the duck & the gnocchi. They were all delicious & flavorful. Definitely worth the price.
The ambiance is nice & cozy. The staff was friendly as well.
J'ai tout adoré de cet endroit! La déco, l'ambiance (bonne musique variée pour tout les goûts), la nourriture & le service! Très belle carte des vins avec beaucoup de choix, & très beau menu également. +++++ pour la cuisine! J'ai passé un excellent anniversaire, merci pour l'attention sur le dessert!

Très bonne adresse gastronomique dans le Vieux Port de Montréal, petite salle tamisée, cosy, aux allures de Jazz bar, avec d'excellents cocktails.
Bien que les portions soient parfois justes, on rajoute des madeleines en dessert & on est rassasiés. Mélanges des goûts intéressants, des classiques légèrement revisités avec saveur.
Un service moins bon pour notre 3ème fois.
Je recommande vivement ! (Surtout le Menu spécial en début de semaine).
What a gem in Old Port! It was fascinating. The best food -including perfect game choice too- the hosting, thanks to Zoe ! The ambience is like a bit romantic, like a small dining room in an English castle! The bar bu itself is astonishing! We were hesitant for it is in a very touristic area but was too good to be true.
A very lovely dining experience! Made a reservation for my husband & I on a Thursday evening. The restaurant is very warm, cozy, & charming with stone walls, beamed ceilings, & filled with lovely antiques. We were seated at a cozy, corner table by the window. Our waiter was professional & personable. He was very present throughout our meal. We ordered two of their specialty cocktails, which were fantastic, & two apps (tartare & foie gras) & two entrees (duck & halibut), which were all divine. I HIGHLY recommend a wonderful time here!
Sortie familiale à 4 pour anniversaire.

Delicious food , we had braised meat, paella, terrine, pumpkin with foie gras , they were all very good, atmosphere is cozy , not cheap but it is worth it, would like go again soon
Place was nice, good environment. Honestly I was expecting more. I am Italian, so I have knowledge of European cuisine & that's just not it. It's nice, but not European & a little overpriced.
The braised beef was pretty good but the Butcher's cut steak was extremely bland, unseasoned, & very very fatty (1/4 of the steak was not edible). The mash potato that came with the steak was also very bland I couldnt finish it. The braised beef's sauce saved me tho I had to dip the steak in there cause it tasted like nothing for $75. Service was okay when we came in we werent greeted & had to wait for a while even though we had reservations. Service felt really rushed. Atmosphere was nice & cozy :) overall experience was okay, definitely not worth the pricetag

This was the first place we visited in Montreal, & I'm so glad we made reservations here! The food was phenomenal. Our waiter was so charming & even made suggestions of where we should go once he knew we were on vacation. The restaurant itself is so cozy & has a very homey feeling. I would love to come back sometime!
Full 5 star experience. Everything from the food, service & restaurant vibe was perfect. The BBQ oysters did not disappoint. My only regret was not ordering 6 more. The farm salad was very flavourful but also fresh. Their braised beef (signature meal) was excellent. (If you don't love celery then I'd say choose something else since their potato purée does have a strong celery taste to it) Waitress was very knowledgeable, showed confidence in the menu & also caught on that it was a special occasion so she brought out a sparkler. Last but not least - drinks were also made to perfection. Paid parking lot 10 steps away from the resto came in handy. Can't wait to be back - specifically for the BBQ oysters.
Mais quelle belle soirée! Les plats étaient merveilleux & toute l'équipe a su s'adapter à ma condition. Je n'ai jamais eu l'impression que cela les dérangeait une seule fois. J'ai vraiment apprécié ma soirée, merci énormément!
This place is perfection in every way. It was completely full & so busy but our server never seemed flustered or rushed in any way. She was lovely, provided impeccable service & never missed an opportunity to pour our wine. The food was top notch. I had the beef tartare & poached halibut & my husband had the chicken liver parfait & braised beef. Every bite was amazing. Such a memorable meal in a beautiful setting. You definitely need a reservation & rightly so. Fantastic all round.
Felt like I was in the holiday movie. About 10 tables, warm, cozy. Amazing service & food was to die for. Bbq oysters, the braised beef was insane & the olive oil cake!!!
Contexte on y est allé pour mon aniv avec deux amies en fin août. Certes le restaurant est beau, cependant le serveur & le service boff. Notre serveur était très condescendant, dès que mes amis ont mentionné qu'ils allaient partager leur entrée l'attitude du staff a changé. La table à côté c'était des touristes anglophones & laissez-moi vous dire que le serveur est excellent dans le profilage, car son service pour eux était bien meilleur que le nôtre! Au niveau de la nourriture, j'ai bien aimé l'entrée de pieuvre, un peu dispendieuse pour la quantité, mais niveau goût c'était bon. La Paella, j'ai pas trop aimé personnellement. On avait essayé leur plat de canard, si je me souviens bien, & c'était bon aussi. Au final, qu'une table dépense 100$ ou 500$, on travaille pour cet argent, on ne le vole pas, donc traiter vos clients avec dignité!
