Ouvert tous les soirs de la semaine, notre établissement émerveille les promeneurs du Vieux-Port et leur procure un second chez-soi. L'esprit du Barroco ne réside pas dans un simple élément, c'est plutôt une harmonie de plusieurs ingrédients, créant une atmosphère de bien-être pour le souper. Nous sommes fiers d'avoir personnellement sélectionné chacun des détails de notre restaurant, du décor à la mise en place.
Les avis sur Barroco décrivent une expérience raffinée et chaleureuse au cœur du Vieux-Port, avec une ambiance intime et une décoration élégante accompagnée d'une musique éclectique qui invite à prolonger le dîner. Le service est généralement attentif et professionnel, les conseils sur les plats et les boissons étant appréciés, et la cuisine française moderne y est présentée avec des touches créatives et des ingrédients de qualité. Les plats les plus mentionnés incluent des viandes braisées et des classiques revisités comme le bœuf braisé, le tartare de bœuf, le filet mignon ou le canard, ainsi que des fruits de mer tels que le halibut et la morue, et des desserts comme les madeleines et la brioche; les cocktails et les vins reçoivent aussi des éloges pour leur originalité et leur qualité. Beaucoup saluent la constance de la qualité, l'ambiance propice à un dîner romantique, à un anniversaire ou à une soirée entre amis, et certains parlent d'une expérience exceptionnelle avec un service discret mais efficace et une atmosphère accueillante. Quelques bémols reviennent toutefois: des portions parfois réduites pour le prix, des plats qui peuvent être trop salés ou mal cuisinés, des soirées un peu longues ou une salle parfois trop petite ou sombre ou bruyante; le coût reste élevé et le rapport qualité-prix varie selon les plats. Dans l'ensemble, Barroco est perçu comme une adresse incontournable de Montréal pour une cuisine soignée et une expérience gastronomique intime, susceptible d'inciter à revenir.
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
**"Five-Star Feast at Barroco: A Symphony of Flavors in Montreal"**
🍷 Last night, my better half & I embarked on a gastronomic odyssey at Barroco, a gem nestled in the heart of Montreal. Celebrating her birthday, we sought something extraordinary &, oh boy, did Barroco deliver with a capital 'B'!
Enveloped in an aura of romantic lighting & the classic elegance of white tablecloths, Barroco's ambiance whispered 'chic' in every corner. It was like stepping into a scene from an old Hollywood movie, minus the black-&-white filter & plus some seriously good food.
The adventure began with their six-course tasting menu, a culinary carousel that had us spinning with delight. Priced at CAD 85 per person with an additional CAD 60 for the wine pairing, it was a bargain for a ticket to flavor town.
First off, the deviled eggs with bottarga set the stage – a playful twist on a classic, much like the restaurant itself. Then, the roasted wild mushrooms arrived, bathed in mushroom & black garlic jus, paired with a Petit Chablis that danced on the palate.
The grilled octopus was a sea-sational journey, with steamed fingerling potatoes & paprika, accompanied by a glass of Alsace Riesling that sang harmonies with each bite. Then came the showstopper, the Paella Barroco, a mosaic of seafood & chorizo, each spoonful a mini fiesta, perfectly matched with a Spätburgunder.
But hold your forks! The beef short ribs – oh, those ribs! Boneless, tender, & glazed with maple & aged balsamic, they were like a meaty lullaby, paired with a robust Dao Reserva.
Finally, the sweet clover semifreddo with confit apple landed softly on our taste buds, a sweet ending to a fabulous meal, with a Gailloc Doux whispering a gentle goodnight.
Barroco's commitment to tradition – serving ladies first – added a touch of chivalry to the experience. The 5 to 10-minute interlude between courses was a thoughtful touch, allowing flavors to linger & conversations to bloom.
In summary, Barroco is not just a meal; it's a culinary sonnet, a love letter to the art of dining. Happy birthday to my wife, & cheers to Barroco for a night to remember! 🎉👩❤️👨🎂

We sat at the bar & the bartender was very very good! We enjoyed his company & knowledge of the menu/drinks. I found the short ribs a little too salty but they were very gracious about it. My daughter really enjoyed her paella. I would definitely go again!
Delightful place with great food & exceptional staff. Wonderful place for a date. You'd be challenged to find a better beef short rib or duck breast anywhere.
My Barroco dining experience was one of the major contributing factors to a dream weekend in Old Montreal. This for the two of us is the perfect restaurant - five stars for intimate seating, incredibly attentive staff, timing, ambiance & food. I had the rib eye. - I am fussy about my steak, this beauty combined the buttery texture of rare with crunchy fat interspersed. My friend described her duck as moist & succulent. Silken mashed potato & whipped yam accompanied. The mousse dessert was beyond sinful. Thank you for this evening!

I had been really looking forward to checking out this place, but it turned into quite a disaster... Unfortunately, a few hours after dining with a friend, I experienced bad food poisoning (perhaps due to the seafood).. The short ribs were tender but extremely salty, & everything else was just average (or below average). For the price I paid, it's safe to say it fell far short of my expectations.
Chose Barroco for dinner on the fly while walking around downtown & couldn’t have been happier we did! BEST short rib we’ve had! Marc the bartender was awesome too - highly recommend!
A great Birthday in a great room with terrific food. The beef short rib was special. The rack of lamb was disappointing but the drinks & appetizers superb.

Excellent service
wonderful ambience as we had requested the lovely little alcove based on my nieces recommendation having eaten there before...
the paella delicious the ribeye steak was excellent & the starter oysters also superb & the housemade brioche second to none...
We didn’t have a reservation so we got a table outside which was rather cozy & cute . As appetizers we ordered the Burrata & the octopus which were ok . We felt that the raspberry vinaigrette didn’t really work with the burrata & the octopus was a bit overcooked. However as a main course we ordered the beef short ribs & a glass of red wine both were delicious & worked very well together . For dessert we got the millefeuille which was also pretty good . Service was good & friendly .
Small & intimate restaurant with great service. Overall food was good. We ordered medium rare ribeye & it came out medium well, a bit on the dry side but it was quite tasty so we just ate it. Spaghetti was delicious.
We had a wonderful meal at Barroco. The service was stellar (thanks Esme), the food was delicious (we loved the short ribs & the homemade spaghetti with pesto russo), & the atmosphere & decor was very charming. We'll be back some day for sure!

The food at Barroco remains the best & most consistent in the city.
& in a city like Montreal, known for its great restaurants, that says everything.
The staff is attentive & omnipresent. The inside is cozy with great lighting & spot on playlist.
I suggest the short rib. The best you will ever have, but the artic char was also amazing.
In truth, whatever you select will soon become your all-time favorite.
Start with the famous Old Fashion before moving on to the deep & well curated wine list.
Above all, Lucca, the GM at the host stand cares for guests more like family members than restaurant goers.
You will end your meal planning for your next visit as Barroco will be your go to for a world-class overall dining experience.
Always a pleasure to come here. & happy to see the place so crowded & doing well. First time there since December 2010
It’s a great place for a romantic dinner
The food is great
Tried the home made brioche with butter, the grilled octopus & ribsteak
Highly recommend the eggplant grilled
Best food in Montreal - hands down.
Great Staff
The space is wonderful
The bar makes top notch drinks to your choice. I strongly suggest you try the Old Fashion
Walk past all the other tourist traps in old town & around the city & make your way to Barroco.
You will be VERY happy you did.
PS. The short rib is hands down the best I have ever eaten. It will be for you as well. But what ever you choose, you will leave with a full belly & smile on your face. Don't miss it.
We had an absolutely delightful time at Barocco last night. I had the short ribs which were outstanding. My husband had their paella. The desserts were unique & delicious. Our waiter was lovely...terrific recommendations & exceptionally friendly! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Old Montreal!
