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.

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!View more

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!View more

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!View more

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!View more

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 attentionView more

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 eveningView more

**"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!

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.

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 .View more

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!
