| - It is rare that I ever eat a meal somewhere and then think about it afterwards. For weeks. For months. But, Barroco won my food heart and I have been wanting to go back ever since that day when I discovered the most delicious beef short-ribs this side of the world has to offer. If anyone tries to argue with me about this, I will challenge them to an arm wrestling contest.
Situated in Monty's famous and overly touristy Old Port, Barroco is a gem among all the other restaurants serving up old school French cuisine in dimly lit, romance infused atmospheres. While I didn't go on a date here, unless you consider a birthday party with five other girls a date (well, actually I would), it is without a doubt a choice place to take your partner(s) in crime. The ambiance is relaxing, the smells are enticing, and the interior design is warm with wooden floors and stone walls.
While I only ordered one magnificent dish, I got to taste five others and all were equally appealing, albeit pricey. So, if you fancy venturing into the Old Port, through the gauntlet of "J'adore Montreal" T-shirt shops and into Barroco, be prepared to bring your piggy bank filled with your monthly allowance. But, do yourself and your hot date a favour and remember this if nothing else: you get what you pay for.
