Barroco is described as a charming intimate spot in Old Montreal with a cozy romantic atmosphere and stylish rustic decor. Diners praise attentive service and a strong bar program, with a well curated wine list and inventive cocktails that pair beautifully with refined dishes. The menu is small but thoughtfully crafted, delivering standout items such as braised beef, beef wellington, seafood like halibut and octopus, and desserts such as madeleines and brioche. The experience is often described as refined and intimate, ideal for a date night or a dinner with friends, with music and ambiance adding to the mood.

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.

Nous avons tout aimé de notre expérience au Barroco. Du service qui était attentionné, où on nous expliquait les plats & donnait des conseils. Aux plats (entrées, plats, dessert) tout était goûteux, surprenant & délicieux.

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. 🥰

I liked this place a lot! The food was good - & very rich in flavour. I wasn't impressed with the scallop dish, however (pictured); the scallops were tiny & the sauce was very salty. My server was great & I liked the vibe of the place.

The food was great. The service was very friendly & accommodating. Our server explained everything & took care of us. The restaurant size is a bit small & crowded so that can be improved. The atmosphere felt a bit chaotic, too dim lights. But overall great experience.

Both the food & service were beyond exceptional. The braised beef melts in your mouth, the halibut was cooked to perfection. The winter salad was exceptional. More importantly, our server, wish I recalled his name was informative & attentive! My wife & I could not give a higher recommendation. On our way out, a couple asked us if we enjoyed it & should they go try it! Our answer was YES

Great bar tender, classic cocktails & delicious in-house cocktails, that have flavour & proper knowledge. I'm coming back to have dinner here, food looks delicious.

Our final dinner on our trip did not disappoint! Barroco is a small, romantic little place. A petite menu with a little bit of everything. We enjoyed the homemade brioche with onion butter, roasted chicken & our favorites hand down was Braised Beef!

Barroco was phenomenal! Major kudos to Marc who runs their bar program & made fantastic cocktails. The beef tartare was the best we've ever had, hands down!

We had reservations for a Friday night & despite being busy the place was small enough that it still felt cozy & it was easy to have conversations & hear each other. The decor is really beautiful as well.

The food tasted excellent. The staff was attentive & came to check on us regularly & they were also kind enough to modify a dish for us to remove one ingredient we couldn't eat so thank you for that.

The winter menu (we went in December) didn't have much for vegetarians so do be mindful of that (it would be lovely if they could add some) but if you eat seafood &/or meat you'll have some really delicious options.

Always a lovely, cozy time at Barraco bar. Marc, our bartender, is talented & very knowledgeable. If the clever cocktail menu doesn't strike your fancy, his depth of palettes & flavour profiles will find the right notes to refresh you.
