7 days a week we see our establishment become to Old Port passer by's a newfound treasure, as well as a second home The essence of Barroco doesn't solely reside on a single element, but rather in the harmony of various ingredients that create comfort and a "feel good" dining experience. With pride we hand picked every single detail in our restaurant : from the static motion (décor and set-up) to the impeccable delivery of satisfaction.
Barroco in Old Montreal is described in reviews as a charming, intimate spot where the atmosphere, warm service, and high quality food and drinks consistently impress guests. The menu features refined French-inspired dishes like braised beef and duck breast, strong cocktails, and memorable desserts, with many praising attentive service, a beautiful interior, and a cozy bar scene. While experiences are largely excellent, some reviews note small portions for the price, occasional overcooked meat, limited vegetarian options, and the setting can feel busy or pricey, yet the place is widely regarded as a memorable, reliable gem that many patrons plan to return to.
1ere fois il y a 2 semaines & non la dernière une belle découverte.
Beau & bon petit restaurant nous étions assis au bar & le barman nous a tres bien conseillé. Belle ambiance.
Au menu l'entrée des champignons Oh Wow !!! Le braisé aussi.
This is our favorite spot in Montreal. We go here every year after the Grand Prix & have a fabulous meal to cap off our weekend. Staff are fantastic & the food is always perfect.

Our waitress was lovely but from the time we sat down, we felt rushed. She returned three times in 10 minutes to see if we were ready to order drinks. Since we don't speak French it took us a bit longer to get through the menu. I think this was a one off though as she was very accommodating after she realized we weren't in a hurry. We were there 1.5 hours total so we weren't looking to overstay.
Everything is simply exceptional. Jade's attentive, friendly, & consultative service was the highlight of of a truly superlative meal. Food, bar, service, setting all top notch.
Une restauration exceptionnelle ! Des légumes & des produits d'une fraîcheur remarquable, on sent vraiment le souci du détail & le goût dans chaque plat. Même les cocktails sont incroyables ! Une adresse que je recommande les yeux fermés 🔥🇨🇦
We recently dined here, & overall, it was a memorable experience. The food was absolutely superb! every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, & clearly made with quality ingredients. The atmosphere was also fantastic, with a warm & inviting ambiance that made the evening feel special.
However, the service could definitely be improved. We had to wait quite a long time for our food, which took away from the overall experience. While the quality of the dishes made up for it in some ways, better timing & attentiveness would make this place even better.
Still, Barroco is worth visiting for the amazing food & great atmosphere.
Extremely disappointed with our experience here, especially as it was the only letdown during our Montreal trip. Despite booking months in advance, the reality did not match the reviews. The restaurant was nearly empty, yet service was incredibly slow. Our waitress was dismissive & struggled with the language barrier, which made communicating simple requests difficult.
?The food was mid at best. The seafood platter was tiny for the price, the tartare was underseasoned (there are much better options right next door), & the bread was stale & burnt. Even the octopus was thinly sliced & lacked flavor. We asked for everything to be served at once, but the staff ignored this & split the service anyway. We capped the night with burnt madeleines. Save your money & go elsewhere.
C'est le restaurant de préféré ma femme & moi à Montréal. On y revient toujours & on est jamais déçus.
La déco ancienne colle parfaitement avec le Vieux-Montréal, les assiettes vintages pour chaque personne ajoutent un beau petit détail, & le service est vraiment 5 étoiles.
On a pris la brioche au beurre, les asperges blanches du menu spécial à ne pas manquer, le tartare de boeuf un must si vous aimez la moutarde de Dijon, un boeuf Wellington à partager qui fond en bouche, & des madeleines avec une ganache au chocolat pour terminer. Tout était excellent.
Réservez à l'avance, c'est toujours plein.

Travellers dining here for the first time. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Food was outstanding. Highly recommend the braised beef. Fork tender with celery root purée. I thought I'd gone to heaven. Heritage building with dim lighting but a lively atmosphere. Would come here again!

Very good restaurant, great atmosphere with great service. If I am being picky the Ribeye although perfectly cooked did not have an aged taste. A small green salad with the fries would have been nice rather than being an additional price. it's a $70 plate. You could say eating steak at a French restaurant is not making the most of French dining! The wine by the glass was excellent but slightly chilled which is not my preference for red. Half bottles would be a nice touch but I fined alone as I was on business. Dessert was superb.
Overall a really good restaurant . $185 for one it should be!!
Everything about this place was great! The beef Wellington was worth the wait (50 minutes of cooking time), but with some delicious starters like beef tartare & oysters & some drinks it went by fast!
