Barroco

Top choice in Old Montréal


Small, cozy Barroco has stone walls, flickering candles and beautifully presented plates of roast guinea fowl, paella, braised short ribs and grilled fish. The selection is small (just six or so mains and an equal number of appetizers), but you can't go wrong here – particularly if you opt for the outstanding seafood and chorizo paella.

Don't miss the exceptional cocktail menu, cleverly pasted into a hardback book. Fun staff and a jazzy soundtrack add to the buzzing atmosphere.
