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 is described as a cozy, intimate gem in Old Montreal with a warm, welcoming staff and a stylish, historic interior that feels elevated yet unpretentious. Reviewers praise thoughtful, high quality French-inspired dishes and creative, well executed cocktails, with standout items like braised beef, beef Wellington, duck breast, halibut, oysters, lobster salad, gravlax, and memorable desserts such as madeleines and brioche. The service is repeatedly highlighted as attentive, knowledgeable and accommodating, helping to make celebrations and special occasions feel extra special, though a few nights report slower or less consistent service and some dishes that miss the mark. The atmosphere, music and ambiance are consistently cited as a key attraction, offering a romantic or intimate vibe that remains lively without feeling stuffy, even when crowded. While some comments note price and occasional small portions or limited vegetarian options, overall the reviews describe Barroco as a standout dining experience with high quality food, excellent cocktails and memorable hospitality that invite return visits.
We remembered this place fondly from our last visit to Montreal, & returned to find it was even better than we remembered. The craft cocktails are delightful & the food was incredible. The atmosphere & service are cozy & friendly. Don't miss the mushroom parfait or the O.G. Braised Beef. This is a very special & memorable place.
The special drinks were delicious. The crusty halibut was one of the best fish dishes I have ever eaten. My husband enjoy his steak. The Octopus & russian salad was tasty. We ordered brioche & butter & only got one tiny roll to share. Disappointing for $9 Canadian dollars
Date night supper,
Nous avons choisi ce restaurant suite à une entrevue du chef au 98.5fm pour Montréal en Lumière. Nous y sommes allés pour le menu dégustation 3 services en collaboration avec le chef de La Cabane d'à Côté. Le cocktail d'entré était excellent. Le premier service, soupe au pois & foie gras était divin. Le magret de canard était délicieux & le dessert crêpes Suzette…. super bon. Nous avons choisi l'accord mets & vins. Le choix des vins etait parfait. Le restaurant est magnifique, nous étions à notre première visite. Nous avons trouvé une perle rare dans le Vieux-Port. Nous allons retourner à ce restaurant sans aucun doute. Le service était hors pair, merci à l'équipe.
I don't live in Montreal or Canada even but each time I visit, I come to Barroco. The cocktails are creative (Paper Crane & Echo Chamber last night) & the food was delicious. Above & beyond is the atmosphere & attentive service. Florian was beyond nice & made the celebration of our niece's graduation even more special.
My wife & I recently dined at Barroco & had a wonderful experience. From the appetizers to the dessert, everything was absolutely delicious. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service. We felt very welcome from the moment we arrived, & the staff made us feel genuinely valued. We will definitely be coming back!
because zero stars isn't an option
If you're looking for a truly unforgettable dining experience, look no further. My partner & I came here for a romantic night out & left with matching food poisoning. Nothing says'true love' like taking turns hugging the toilet at 3 a.m. 🥰

The prime rib, best I have tasted.
Stellar dishes & servers.
Would omit the olive oil drizzle with chocolate cake dessert or compliment with a berry drizzle.
Overall a beautiful ambient resto with great thoughtful creations.
Magnifique restaurant très chaleureux, service impeccable & ambiance exceptionnelle. Les plats sont délicieux. J'ai adoré le nougat glacé & le mocktail au pamplemousse! Superbe soirée à refaire!
Our server was so knowledgeable & fun! Even though the food is high end, the atmosphere wasn't stuffy or exclusive. Cocktails were on point & they have great music
What a wonderful slice of Old Town. The historic inside decor is gorgeous. The service is exquisite. & the food is heavenly. Try the duck breast. Or steak with mashed potatoes.
