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 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.

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.

Barroco was charming & romantic with great dishes & cocktails. The brioche starter with the garlic butter is something you can't miss, & the cantaloupe cocktail tastes like your biting into a fresh cantaloupe. Our server was very attentive & explained the dishes & specials very well.

We had a wonderful experience at Barrocos! The ambience was fun & interesting, the service was great, & the food was TREMENDOUS! I had the paella with octopus & it was delectable. My partner had the cod & it was also first rate. One of the best meals I've had in a long time. A memorable experience.

Dinner at Barroco was the highlight of my stay in Montreal & the best food I've had since I moved to Canada two years ago.

I've been to a few higher end restaurants & I tend to think that a lot of them aren't worth it. I would spend 3x the price to eat the food at Barroco. This restaurant is by far the best in Montreal & there is no question. Every time I've been here I order something new & everything it is top quality & amazing. This time, our waiter Phil talked with us for a while about other restaurants we like & the food here. He even brought me a special birthday shot at the end of the evening to celebrate. Actually goated restaurant.

For those who care, out of the meals I've had here (They were all 5/5 so don't stress)
1. The duck (Order this, it is wild the sauce is crazy)
2 - 3. Can't decide between the Paella & the short rib. The paella was so good but the short rib has the best sauce in the world if the place wasn't as nice as it is I would have licked the plate I am not trolling.
4 - & remember this is still delicious, the Veal special. The potato with the truffle was insane I wish I had 10 of them.

Side note, the sauce for the oysters took us on a trip we were eating it alone with a spoon because it was so good.

Anyways ill be back to taste the other items on the menu soon!

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.

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!"
