Extremely disappointed with our experience here, especially as it was the only letdown during our Montreal trip. Despite booking months in advance, the reality did not match the reviews. The restaurant was nearly empty, yet service was incredibly slow. Our waitress was dismissive and struggled with the language barrier, which made communicating simple requests difficult. ​The food was mid at best. The seafood platter was tiny for the price, the tartare was underseasoned (there are much better options right next door), and the bread was stale and burnt. Even the octopus was thinly sliced and lacked flavor. We asked for everything to be served at once, but the staff ignored this and split the service anyway. We capped the night with burnt madeleines. Save your money and go elsewhere.

We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations Tiffany.

We’re grateful to have built a strong reputation over the years, with many returning guests and consistently positive feedback, which makes your comments especially disappointing to read. Your remarks have been shared with our team internally. We always appreciate honest feedback, as it helps us maintain the level of hospitality and quality we aim to deliver.

We recently dined here, and overall, it was a memorable experience. The food was absolutely superb! every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with quality ingredients. The atmosphere was also fantastic, with a warm and inviting ambiance that made the evening feel special. However, the service could definitely be improved. We had to wait quite a long time for our food, which took away from the overall experience. While the quality of the dishes made up for it in some ways, better timing and attentiveness would make this place even better. Still, Barroco is worth visiting for the amazing food and great atmosphere.

Travellers dining here for the first time. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Food was outstanding. Highly recommend the braised beef. Fork tender with celery root purée. I thought I’d gone to heaven. Heritage building with dim lighting but a lively atmosphere. Would come here again!

Very good restaurant, great atmosphere with great service. If I am being picky the Ribeye although perfectly cooked did not have an aged taste. A small green salad with the fries would have been nice rather than being an additional price. it’s a $70 plate. You could say eating steak at a French restaurant is not making the most of French dining! The wine by the glass was excellent but slightly chilled which is not my preference for red. Half bottles would be a nice touch but I fined alone as I was on business. Dessert was superb. Overall a really good restaurant . $185 for one it should be!!

Everything about this place was great! The beef Wellington was worth the wait (50 minutes of cooking time), but with some delicious starters like beef tartar and oysters and some drinks it went by fast!

Exceptional experience: very historical building in Old Montreal, small lamp and flowers on each table, stone walls, great ambiance, very vibrant and welcoming from the minute you come in. Perfect for a tête-à-tête dinner, but without being too quiet or stuffy. Cocktails are original, food at our table of 4 was very tasty and well prepared (we loved the duck magret and the bavette), and wine list is high quality. Our server Justine knew her menu so well, took care of us very efficiently, and was very personable without being too intrusive. The host was super welcoming as well.

Excellent romantic meal in a charming restaurant. Waitress was very professional and friendly. The Winter salad with chicken liver pate and braised beef O.G. were killer dishes. Cocktails and the imposed two-hour dining limit were less attractive. I look forward to returning to Barroco.

Barroco was spectacular. After the unfortunate mix-up with our reservation being cancelled on our anniversary, the team reached out and kindly accommodated us for dinner the following night. We were treated to a beautiful three course dinner with wine pairings for each course. Everything was delicious, generously portioned, and thoughtfully prepared. The space itself was beautiful, intimate, and cozy, and Alex and Sarah took wonderful care of us throughout the evening. We are so grateful we gave Barroco a second chance because it was absolutely worth it.

We remembered this place fondly from our last visit to Montreal, and returned to find it was even better than we remembered. The craft cocktails are delightful and the food was incredible. The atmosphere and service are cozy and friendly. Don't miss the mushroom parfait or the O.G. Braised Beef. This is a very special and 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

Very fancy and top place for a date night. It is a dinner spot. Not suitable for breakfast or lunch. High end service and meals. We went here for a date night and had some steaks. The service was great. Very friendly server. Explained everything and made good suggestions. Dessert was also good. A good mix of french and spanish cuisine. We will be back for sure. Atmosphere was a bit noisy and the place is dimly lit.

My wife and I recently dined at Barroco and 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, and the staff made us feel genuinely valued. We will definitely be coming back!
