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.

Review Summary

Barroco is widely celebrated as a premier dining destination in Old Montreal, consistently praised for its intimate, rustic atmosphere and exceptional service. Guests frequently highlight the quality of the cuisine, with dishes like the braised beef, beef Wellington, and various seafood options earning high accolades for their flavor and preparation. While the restaurant is often described as cozy and perfect for romantic occasions, some patrons note that the space can feel small or occasionally loud. Although a few visitors have pointed out premium pricing or longer wait times during busy periods, the consensus remains that the combination of creative cocktails, high-quality ingredients, and a welcoming staff makes this establishment a must-visit experience.

Great bar tender, classic cocktails & delicious in-house cocktails, that have flavour & proper knowledge. I'm coming back to have dinner here, food looks delicious.

Our final dinner on our trip did not disappoint! Barroco is a small, romantic little place. A petite menu with a little bit of everything. We enjoyed the homemade brioche with onion butter, roasted chicken & our favorites hand down was Braised Beef!

Barroco was phenomenal! Major kudos to Marc who runs their bar program & made fantastic cocktails. The beef tartare was the best we've ever had, hands down!

We had reservations for a Friday night & despite being busy the place was small enough that it still felt cozy & it was easy to have conversations & hear each other. The decor is really beautiful as well.

The food tasted excellent. The staff was attentive & came to check on us regularly & they were also kind enough to modify a dish for us to remove one ingredient we couldn't eat so thank you for that.

The winter menu (we went in December) didn't have much for vegetarians so do be mindful of that (it would be lovely if they could add some) but if you eat seafood &/or meat you'll have some really delicious options.

Always a lovely, cozy time at Barraco bar. Marc, our bartender, is talented & very knowledgeable. If the clever cocktail menu doesn't strike your fancy, his depth of palettes & flavour profiles will find the right notes to refresh you.

Barroco is a very charming restaurant in Old Montreal - super cute atmosphere, cozy, & the music was absolutely on point. The place itself has a really nice vibe, perfect for a romantic dinner or a night out.

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the food. I ordered the ribeye, & even though I specifically asked for medium, it came way overcooked. The meat was dry & lacked flavor - honestly very, very mediocre for the price. The bill was also quite high, which made the whole experience even more disappointing.

If you decide to go, maybe try something other than the steak, because unfortunately, that was a big letdown.

Expérience parfaite. Nos plats étaient réconfortants, le service était présent sans être intrusif & la musique rap éclectique a parfaitement posé l'ambiance : très décontractée, niveau sonore général bien contrôlé pour s'entendre parler sans entendre la table d'à côté !
