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.
**"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! 🎉👩❤️👨🎂

Cocktails under delivered relative to the previews. The wine list was impressive & wines by the glass were thoughtfully selected. The food quality was good but a bit pricey.
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 .
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.
The music was not dinner music (snoop dog, 50 cent, Will Smith - really? At an upscale restaurant for dinner?) & waaaaay too loud. The server was very nice & lowered the volume but it was still very loud. My husband & I had booked there for a romantic dinner but it ended up just being an OK evening. Wine & dishes were good, but not worth the price. Server was very nice though.
We drove from Boston to Barroco for our first trip post pandemic to celebrate everything we missed--birthdays & anniversary. It was just as great as we remember. The oysters, octopus, eggplant, pasta, wines & dessert made such a special meal & the service from Sam & others spoiled us. So glad Barocco is still doing what they do best---everything!

Such a little gem of a restaurant that I'm hesitant to leave a glowing review, so I may keep this not-so-secret pearl all to myself! Our server was professional & fun, not stuffy like other high end restos & took great care to work with my food allergy. The oysters were sublime as were the mignonette & sauce. We had the paella which was so flavourful! My dinner partner claimed it was better than the five he tasted in Spain! A Morgon was recommended which is now at the top of my red wine list. Truly a lovely evening in a beautiful, cozy & vibrant & relaxed atmosphere.
Nice, cozy restaurant with European ambiance. We went for European food with Spanish influence. But, menu is mostly French cuisine. Not that much variety in the menu. One fish item, no lamb, mostly beef, with limited appetizers. Good wine menu though.
