Une soirée d'anniversaire absolument magnifique au BARROCO ✨

Quelle belle découverte dans le Vieux-Port de Montréal. Un restaurant gastronomique hors du commun, avec une cuisine tout simplement incroyable, un décor emblématique & une ambiance qui rend l'expérience vraiment unique.

Un immense merci à **Jade & Aurélien** pour leur service exceptionnel. Leur attention, leur gentillesse & leur professionnalisme ont véritablement contribué à faire de ma soirée d'anniversaire un pur délice ❤?

Tout était remarquable, de l'assiette au service, en passant par le cadre. Une adresse que je recommande sans aucune hésitation & où j'aurai grand plaisir à retourner.

**Une expérience gastronomique mémorable du début à la fin ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?**

Marc is simply the bomb in terms of mixology! From a fresh twist on a hibiscus infused tequila based cocktail to the perfect vesper martinis & old fashions. We were treated to a show of his skills while seated at the bar & were privileged to enjoy the in-house prepared foie gras followed by a very fresh & flavourful beef tartare. The pavlova for dessert was also off the chart. We will definitely come back every chance we get. This place has never disappointed me through the many years & has gotten better with time.

Barroco was the highlight of our trip to Montreal...so good, we went back a 2nd time. First, the inside of the restaurant is beautiful. It is intimate & romantic but also accessible. & we loved the music! Instead of sleepy dinner tunes, they played a great mix of classic & upbeat music that we really enjoyed.

The food & wine list were stellar. Favorites were the OG shortrib, oysters & duck. My wife loved the seabass paired with an Alsace riesling. I think we also tried every dessert. Don't sleep on the tarte, it's excellent! They gave it to us for free to thank us for coming back a 2nd night!

Service was wonderful. Super attentive, friendly. The perfect spot to go in Montreal.

We'd been wanting to try Barroco for a long time, but as the restaurant isn't very large we hadn't been able to book a last-minute reservation until last night. I'm so glad we did. Suffice it to say that every dish was a delicious symphony of flavors in your mouth.
Below is a pic of their braised beef in an aged balsamic & maple sauce (usually comes with mashed potatoes, but I asked for asparagus instead) which they've had on the menu since they opened. If you haven't been yet, you have to check it out!

We've been wanting to try Barrocco for a long time, but as it's not a very large restaurant it had always been booked for last-minute reservations. We got lucky last night & glad we did! Suffice it to say that dish was a symphony of delicious flavors in your mouth! If you haven't been yet you gotta check it out! 🩷😋😋

The only downside of this place is that we visited it on our first night in town & we don't know how any where else will even come close. The atmosphere was just what we wanted for a cold wintery night. We sat at the bar & the service was the best I've had in a while. Not only was the bartender, Joaquin, attentive but he really knew his drinks & food. Food was unexpectedly delicious as well. I got the special & it did not disappoint. Wish we had a place like this back home.

Edit: We came back 5 years later in the summer & just as good as we remember!

Honestly was expecting some montreal bro F1 scene-y vibe with the same garbage that passes for French brasserie in the city nowadays after so long on the scene but wow was i wrong

Delicious & innovative menu, sweet service. Im still dreaming about that mushroom dish

Tho I gotta say it's more than a little annoying that all of the cheaper wines weren't available the night we went & we had to get a higher end bottle for no reason (we were too lit to really enjoy finer wine at that point)

Cheers barocco to another 17 years!

Our experience was fantastic! Our party of 4 tried the duck, sea bass & filet. All were delicious. Our server, George, was so helpful in selecting a wine that paired beautifully with all our dishes. The restaurant was cozy & included a wonderfully eclectic play list. We loved our experience at Barroco!

We made a last minute reservation at the bar & weren't sure what to expect. It was fantastic! Service was excellent, drinks & food were incredible. We were able to take our time & weren't rushed. Just overall great experience & highly recommend

I have been to Barocco many times, which is why I chose to celebrate my birthday here. Unfortunately, the experience was really disappointing.

The service was slow from the start, our drinks took forever, & we were served a weak Casamigos after the bottle had run out. Our concern was initially denied, then confirmed when staff admitted they were out of Casamigos-yet we were still charged for it. Later, after moving an empty plate to the booth beside us to make room on the table, our waitress accused us of trying to steal it, which was both unnecessary & insulting.

The food was genuinely great, but the service took away from what should have been a special birthday celebration.

It's a shame, because this used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal. Sadly, we'll be taking a break from coming back.
