One of the better places to in on St Paul, and in the Old Montreal. Although its name sounds Italian, Barroco serves a combination of French and Italian foods. They have an very good wine list, with a number of delicious, lesser known wines available by the glass. Very friendly service. Priced in line with the neighborhood.

We chose this restaurant after walking past and smelling something amazing cooking, and we were not disappointed....the food was fantastic!! The service also, from the moment we sat down until we walked out the door was impeccable....friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. We shared a starter, each had dinner and also had room for dessert. Each course was delicious, though if you... More

Our concierge recommended Bocata, located just down the street from our hotel, on our first night in Montreal. What a great find! It was Thursday night and they were featuring a special wine-paired dinner, which both my husband and I ordered. We started with a salad accompanied with grilled chicken livers (not my favorite), then a delicious grilled monkfish, then... More

After sifting through restaurant reviews on Trip Advisor we decided to give this cozy place a shot! Since we traveled here in April, getting a last minute reservation was not an issue. This restaurant is extremely intimate and romantic, a great place to go for couples whether it be to try the food and/or their lovely wine selections. The prices... More

I read all the recent Trip Advisor reviews on Bocata before we went there and was intrigued by how people loved or hated this restaurant. I agree with almost all the comments - good and bad - so whether you should go here depends very much on what you like to spend and how much you want to eat. The... More

The food was extremely tasty and unique. And unbelievably well priced for the quality. You can easily pay twice as much in fancier places, and not have a better meal. The service was adequate and friendly. Would definitely recommend without hesitation

Stumbled in on a cold February night. The exposed brick atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was welcoming but unhurried. The small plates enabled our group of four to share. We received sound advice in choosing from the extensive wine list. This dinner was a highlight of our trip.

We were recommended this delightful restaurant by our enthusiastic concierge who said "I wish I could eat there every night". The service was great, food lovely. I still rave about the lentils that came with my veal. Beautiful. The decor is classy too, it seemed like someone has put a lot of effort into making it an elegant, cosy space... More

What a charming little restaurant this is! We came across it accidentally on our walk through old Montreal, and we were so delighted with our evening. The ambience, service, and food were exceptional. Our server mentioned that the portions are a little smaller, so we could enjoy an appetizer as well as a beautifully presented main course. This restaurant should... More

We were in Montreal over Valentines Day and on the final day of our trip, really needed a good place to go. We were staying in the old part of Montreal and passed many restaurants when this one caught our eye as it looked so cosy. Thank goodness we chose this one out of all the rest because it was... More
