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.
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.
Short ribs were absolutely delicious. Sam, our server/bartender was very friendly.
The Short Ribs were amazing & the Paella was the best I've ever had.
This place was amazing. I'd highly reccomend. Service & ambiance were 5 star. The beef tartare & beef short rib were were 5 out of 5. My wife got the guinea hen was very good but we both agree the the beef short rib was best.
Truly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The service from the host to the captain was incredible, every need was anticipated. The food was phenomenal & would recommend the chefs tasting menu to all. The wine menu was thorough & the pairing accompanied the tasting menu perfectly. The beef short ribs are a must order dish. Can't wait to come back!
Excellent experience from the ambiance to the service to the cocktails & food. Had the short rib entree which was excellent. Small intimate dinning area, so cute
Excellent food & cocktails, & attentive service. The paella & short ribs were delicious. As were the house made crumpets with roe. Lastly, the decor was incredibly charming & rustic.
Nice location & friendly staff. Light, fruity cocktails were excellent. Heavier cocktails were not well balanced. Food was all excellent, but some dishes were better than others. Beef tartare was exceptional as was the short ribs. Oeuf mollet was surprisingly good, while mushrooms appetizer was surprisingly not good. It was hit or miss. Also was a busy night & the place seemed understaffed & a bit frantic. I would try it again to give them a second chance!
Stopped in on a solo trip & had one of the top 3 meals of my life! The short rib was to die for! Sat at the bar & the bartender was very helpful & friendly!
This restaurant is an experience. The decor & atmosphere is gorgeous. The staff make you feel special & welcome. The food is up there as some of the best & I've been to many fine dining restos. GET THE SHORT RIB.
Everything we ate & drank was exquisite. They have a refreshing cocktail menu with unique combinations that go down very smoothly. The dinner menu was equally impressive. The brioche melted in our mouths, the octopus was grilled to perfection & the beef tartare was to die for. The beef short rib was so tender I peeled it apart with my fork. The service was a little lackluster & the music was a bit to loud making it hard for us to hear each other at times. Despite those small short comings we will most likely be back for more!
Amazing time. Best short ribs I've ever had. Great staff. Fun atmosphere.
The most important thing is always the food. We loved the mushroom appetizer (could have been hotter), but unfortunately the short rib reduction was thick, overpowering & made it so rich it was hard to eat all of it. The steak, potatoes & parsnip needed salt & seasoning. Taste before it leaves the kitchen.
Service & atmosphere was wonderful. We had the mushroom appetizer & it was very good. Definitely recommend that. My short ribs had a reduction that was thick & like molasses. It was too rich & hard to eat a lot of. Parsnip puree needed seasoning & the steak my husband ordered needed to be seasoned. But the experience was very nice. The food needs more attention
The servers were fantastic. The ham, sardines, deviled eggs, & short ribs were all stellar. Will definitely be returning soon.
I guess I went in with big expectations from what I saw on the website! Appetizers : we had the ham which was basically prosciutto with 2 pieces of grilled bread & 4 tiny pieces of picked vegetables. Anchovies on bread pretty good Devilled eggs at $5 per half an egg nothing Oysters very fresh & good Main courses braised beef was very dry & liked warm at best Rib steak was good mashed potato cold Overall it was ok but nothing special We still had a nice evening
Lovely place to eat & service. We didn't love the presentation & pairing of celery root with short ribs, but short ribs amazing! Also we got the dessert & not sure of the name, but looked Iike kids spaghetti & we didn't love it. Service was excellent. Thank you!
Beautiful restaurant & server was very nice. Food was fantastic except the smoked hen was a little dry. Short ribs were perfection though, & housemade seafood sauce was the best we've ever had
