What an incredible experience there!
For those in Montreal area, I'm sure that a lot of you remember the famous Bar B Barn restaurant that was known for its incredible pork ribs, & when it officially closed a few years back, you were crushed.
Well, a few weeks ago, a comment on Facebook came up about the restaurant, Fernando- a Philippine cuisine-themed restaurant whose owner & head chef had worked for years at Bar B Barn until it closed. & when he opened his own establishment, he chose to add the familiar recipe to his menu.
Today, we went all the way out to the DDO region to give it a try to find out that all the ribs had been reserved for the day! We were so dissapointed, but the owner had one order that was never picked up & so they hooked us up so that we could at least try it.
& let me tell you- the hype DID NOT DISSAPOINT!!!
We also tried an order of their pork siomai (a Philippine take of dumplings) which were incredibly tender & flavorful, with a homemade chili garlic sauce, which I personally loved as it was wonderfully spicy (do not need a lot) & had that pleasant warm feeling as it goes down, unlike other places whose chili sauces just burn your mouth & sit uncomfortably after three bites.
So for anyone planning on trying out Fernando's- be sure to reserve the ribs at least a day in advance (BEYOND WORTH IT) but make sure to give their other food a try, too.
My filipino mother in law immediately said its just like in the Philippines!! A very high compliment. Not one item was thought to be any less than perfect. Spaghetti & fried chicken, shumai, lumpia shanghai, fried pork, & WOW the bar b barn ribs!! Masarap. Bravo chef Fernando
My husband & I had the Bar-B-Barn ribs, & they were every bit as delicious as we remembered! The taste brought back great memories, they're just as amazing as they were back in the day.
Great job, Team Fernando! Thank you for the wonderful meal :)

Great spot to try Filipino food at a reasonable price. The owner worked at Bar-B-barn & he can reproduce the ribs. They do them every day now but you have to order a day in advance.
We placed an order for the Bar B Barn flavored rack of ribs. It's a 9 on 10 on flavor & taste. Looking forward to going back & trying their Phillipino food
Went with a few buddies. Family restaurant with friendly service. Crispy pork belly was delicious. Bar-B-Barn ribs were 95% there but a bit less meaty than the original. Prices were a bit hard to understand. The price for a full rack (whole Hawg)of ribs with fries & Spanish rice was $60. Last trip to Bar-B in 2024 the price was $45. Unfortunately when you add tax & tip, it's almost $80. The Keg classic menu at the Keg costs $55 & you get an appetizer, 8oz Sirloin steak with mushrooms & potatoes plus the decor is nice & it has air conditioning which Fernandos DOESN'T. They need to rethink their pricing. Recommended with some reservation to the obvious shortcomings.
We are so happy we found the Bar B Barn ribs. They taste like the original & more tender. Also good Asian fried chicken. I called & placed the order. Quick & friendly service. Thank you so much 🙏
WOW!!! We got their Kamayan platter to share, everything was soooo delicious & perfectly cooked; ribs, chicken, fried pork, whole fish, mixed seafood. & the owners were wonderfully friendly & came to chat with us at the end of the meal. Loved the Bar B Barn back story. We will definately be back!
This new restaurant in Dollard-des-Ormeaux makes Bar B Barn ribs. We ordered some & picked them up tonight! Omg! Exactly like the originals! Also the owner & staff are super friendly & polite. So happy to be able to eat these again! Even came in an original looking box!
