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
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.
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!
Pancit was extremely flavourful
The deep fried pork belly fat is my favourite!
Fernando has a well earned reputation in the West Island
A small family owned restaurants can be either a hit or miss. This one is a definite hit.
Because they close early, 7:30 weekdays & 8:00 weekends, we decided to go early so we would have time to discover the menu & eat slowly. We've only had Philipino food once before & we were not crazy about some of it, so we decided to try again but at a new place.
Opened about a year ago, Fernando the owner & chef, has a limited menu that contains all the Philipino favorites. With his wife helping to cook & his son serving, this small restaurant gives the feeling of home cooking with friends & family.
We started with the Siomai. Yes, that also a Chinese dim sum dish. The order contained 6 pieces with a homemade chili sauce & a soy sauce with green onions. Delicious!
I ordered, as my main, from the Combo side of the menu, the 2 pieces of fried chicken. It was served with rice & a mango salad, & a simple dipping sauce. When ordering I asked the waiter if two pieces of chicken would be enough? He said that the portion was pretty big. Ok, I listened to him & didn't order more. Holy moly, I could barely finish. The pieces of juicy, crispy, non greasy, chicken were huge. & Amazing!
My dinner partner had the Pork Sisig, also served with rice & the famous egg on top. Though the portion is a bit smaller, the sunny side up egg helps to make the dish more filling. Really really good.
Even though we were pretty full we decided to take some of their desserts home for later. Great move. Warmed in the microwave for 30 seconds, the Ube square with coconut, was a sweet reminder of chinese mochi.
Will I go back? Absolutely 💯.
