Barroco occupe un espace défini par des textures rustiques et des murs en pierre apparente qui créent un caractère distinctif et chaleureux. Le menu se concentre sur du bœuf braisé riche et savoureux ainsi que sur des sélections de fruits de mer frais préparés avec des assaisonnements francs et audacieux. Un programme de cocktails créatifs utilise des spiritueux saisonniers et des infusions maison pour compléter la profondeur des offres culinaires. Les boiseries et les éclairages tamisés définissent l'intérieur, contribuant à un environnement intime axé sur les plats à partager et les saveurs substantielles. L'atmosphère demeure animée et cinétique tout au long de la soirée, reflétant la nature effervescente de l'architecture historique environnante. Chaque élément participe à offrir une expérience sensorielle où la cuisine généreuse occupe une place centrale sans prétention ni complication inutile.
Barroco est largement reconnu comme une destination gastronomique de premier plan dans le Vieux-Montréal, constamment salué pour son atmosphère intime et rustique ainsi que pour son service exceptionnel. Les convives soulignent fréquemment la qualité de la cuisine, des plats comme le bœuf braisé, les fruits de mer frais et les cocktails créatifs recevant des éloges constants pour leur saveur et leur présentation. Bien que la majorité des visiteurs décrivent leurs expériences comme mémorables, qualifiant l'ambiance chaleureuse de parfaite pour des occasions spéciales, certains clients trouvent les prix élevés et ont fait état de rares irrégularités dans le rythme du service ou la préparation des plats. Dans l'ensemble, l'établissement demeure une adresse incontournable très appréciée des locaux comme des touristes, reconnue pour son hospitalité authentique et son caractère charmant.
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.
Have been several times & this place is amazing. The food is incredible & the staff make sure you are taken care of. Definitely get a reservation & if you enjoy watching good cocktails getting made, sit at the bar.
I ordered the grilled octopus, the squash with foie gras, the paella barroco, & the butcher's cut (an 18oz ribeye steak). The grilled octopus was delicious, though $35 for the portion served felt a bit pricey. The foie gras didn't quite suit my taste. The standout dish of the night was definitely the paella, easily the best I've had in Montreal. Unfortunately, the ribeye steak was very DISAPPOINTING. Priced at $75 & meant to be shared by two, it came with a choice of sauce (we selected truffle butter). However, when the steak arrived, it was already quite COLD, so much so that the butter wouldn't even melt when placed on top. Normally, I would have rated this meal 4 stars despite the mishaps, but a final issue made it hard to do so. When my partner mentioned to the waitress that the steak had been underwhelming (both in temperature & quality) & that we hadn't been told it would cost $75, she responded rather coldly, insisting she had informed us of the price-though we hadn't been told. While we likely would have ordered it anyway, given it's a reasonable price, the attitude at the end left us feeling let down.
Amazing experience at Barocco! The atmosphere is elegant, the food was delicious, & the service was outstanding. The wine selection was perfect, & every detail made the evening special. Highly recommend for a great night out!
Here's a review you can use: "I had an unforgettable dining experience at BARROCO in Old Port, Montreal. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, & genuinely friendly, making us feel welcome & well taken care of. The food was absolutely divine, with each dish bursting with flavor & presented beautifully. You can truly taste the quality & freshness of the ingredients. The ambiance was just perfect-charming, cozy, a hint of eccentricity in a warm atmosphere that complements the historic charm of Old Port. Whether you're looking for a romantic evening or a delightful meal with friends, BARROCO is a must-visit!"
If you are looking for a unique, fine dining experience this is the place! Whether your celebrating your birthday or just visiting Montreal for the first time like we were, Barraco is such a treat. As it is a smaller, intimate setting reservations are a must but when we showed up without one the host went out of his way to try to squeeze us in. Due to demand, we ended up making a reservation for the very next day & it was worth it! The fantastic staff, particularly the bartender Mark, went above & beyond to make this dining experience worth every moment. I couldn't recommend this place more!
