The Brussels sprouts with hummus and the ceviche Barranco are delicious, and service was prompt.

This is the tale of two restaurants. The first one is all the waitstaff trying to do their job, and presumably the cooks as well. My waitress was very nice and helpful. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The other tale are all the, what, managers? Owners? Hosts? Running around with their heads cut off, each of them with a tablet with their seating plan. Yelling at one another, getting in the waitstaff's way, and generally making it look like the end of the world is going to happen. It was absurd and it made everything pretty unpleasant. I think I was watching the owner get really concerned about a dj, hanging out with him, and then bolting to go to talk to a manager. Finally, I know a lot about Peruvian food, including traveling to Peru. The food at this restaurant is not that good. read more

This was my first experience with Peruvian food, and it was an absolute delight, down to the table snack at the beginning (sorry I don't know if cancha is the right name, but I love the corn!). The staff is extremely nice. The arroz con Mariscos was delicious and the mocktail left nothing to be desired. Price was very reasonable. Would absolutely recommend! read more

Talented and creative kitchen. Friendly service. Just tasty as hell with a cool and welcoming vibe. Bathrooms also nice.

The food was very tasty, but our service was terrible. It took over an hour for our appetizers to come out. The waiting staff was huddled in the corner having a social hour instead of doing their job. Overall we would not eat here again because the service was so bad. One of the other tables in the restaurant left before their food even arrived because it was taking so long. read more

Great flavors and a fun vibe. The small plates are perfect for sharing, and cocktails were well made. Slight wait, but worth it.

Our first time trying Peruvian cuisine. This is a nice spot, lovely decor and our server was quite helpful. We tried several dishes , their ceviche was a hit and miss on our tables but the appetizers were a definite hit. The dessert meringue was a great ending to this exotic meal read more

Such a fun and flavorful experience! The ambiance is colorful, bright, and urban. The service was kind and knowledgeable with great suggestions. We ordered the grilled octopus which came with the most interesting and delicious olive dressing. The classic ceviche is a perfect blend of citrus and fresh fish! I wish we could have ordered more, but we were so full! Highly recommend for a dinner full of flavor in a very cool neighborhood! read more

This was a nice find and an enjoyable dinner experience. They take reservations online, but we happened to be walking by and made one for later in the day. All reservations, unless you specifically request it, will be for inside, but we got a table in front so we were as close to the outside as possible. The drinks here are festive, and some of the mocktails are actually presented better than the cocktails. It's more small plates here than entrees, but those included most of the traditional options. This included ceviche, but the majority of those options were for mahi mahi. We opted for primarily meat and seafood options, and our server let us know how long each would take (some take a while to prepare) so that we knew when specific items would come out. The plate that amazed us the most was the shrimp atop a cake of potato and avocado - who know a potato/avocado cake would work? (answer: we do now). Service was great. The food came out at the expected times, and we were checked on frequently. read more

Really solid Peruvian inspired dishes. Ceviche had good freshness and flavors were balanced. Service was friendly and quick.

Happened upon here while wandering around Montréal. I went at 6:30pm and sat at the bar. The service was great, super attentive. I order the Causa de Pulpo and Anticuchos. The Causa was very good, it was refreshing , tangy , soft and slightly crunchy. The anticuchos were super tender and the aji amarilo sauce gave a great kick. The ambiance was casual, a mix of small tables and larger groups. Some looked like they came straight from work. The menu was good, though I wish they had pollo a la brassa. I would come back again with a bigger group to try more things. read more

Great food! Highly recommend a visit for yummy Peruvian eats. We came here for brunch on a Friday and there was lots of seating available indoors. We ordered a variety of dishes to share so we were able to try different items on the menu! Really enjoyed all of them but a standout was the Mahi Mahi sandwich. If this is on the menu when you are there then you should definitely give it a try! The interior had ample seating and great decor. There is also an outdoor patio on the street if you want to be outdoors. Service was helpful and friendly. I'm looking forward to coming back already! read more

The food here was outrageously delicious. I was visiting Montreal and didn't plan a reservation, but I was lucky enough to get a late night seat at the bar. The service was attentive and the cuisine was unique and heavenly. I can't wait to go back to Montreal for many reasons, but Barranco is definitely at the top of the list! read more

Came here for brunch when I visited Montreal in August. We were just in the area shopping and I noticed this restaurant being very lively and busy. The server was very helpful with giving us suggestions as I'm not too familiar with Peruvian food. The food was absolutely amazing! It was by far one of the top 3 restaurants that we tried on our visit. Everything was really good especially the ceviche. I will definitely be back on my next visit to Montreal! read more

Finally got to try this restaurant. It lived up to the good reviews. If you want a reservation before 9pm you have to plan ahead a couple of weeks. The service was great, the food was delicious, flavorful, fresh and innovative. I started with a cocktail Jasmine, then had the Pulpo appetizer, the Barranco Ceviche and a drink for dessert. The ceviche was one of the best i have had in a while. The portion size was perfect. The waiter was nice, attentive, service was great, nice ambiance. Will definitely return. read more

Beau petit restaurant peruvien qui sert une cuisine moderne. Un menu tapas a partager. Ca fait longtemps que je nai pas eu la chznce de goûter a un aussi bon ceviche. J'ai choisi le classique OMG que jai aimé, un goût légèrement citronnée avec mais bien grillé et des feves. J'ai poursuivie avec le anticicho de fois de veau, 2 brochettes de coeur de veau avec sauce assez épicés servie sur pommes de terres grelot. Apres omg je dis wow. J'ai aussi eu la chance de goûter Causa Pulpe un autres pur délice. Toutes les présentations sont esquise. Ce resto une perle du plateau. Excellent service dans un resto sympa ! read more

My first Peruvian restaurant. Interesting discovery. The octopus skewer is by far the best dish. The meat is so tender. The texture is soft and melts in your mouth like pork belly. The sauce was a bit salty but with the potato it was ok. The ceviche is tangy best to share. The crispy corn added a nice texture contrast. I wish the Peruvian corneas sweeter. The tanginess does become over powering at the end, and we did share the dish... The seafood rice, tasted like a cross between a paella and risotto. Nice flavor and well seasoned, safe bet if you don't know what to order. Lastly we had the salchipapas. Sausage with potatoes and cassava. The huacatay mayo is a real discovery, fragrant and balanced well with the slightly too salty meat. Overall I would go back for more huacatay sauce and the octopus, yummy. read more

We'd never been to a Peruvian restaurant before so we were excited to try this. There's a great atmosphere in the restaurant with a lot of decoration. The waitress was friendly and the service was about average. We ordered the Chilcano La Peach to drink and it tasted great and was stronger than we expected. For an appetizer we got Anticucho Classique and loved the seasoning on the veal, it was delicious. Despite enjoying it so much, there's no way two little skewers and a couple potatoes are worth $16. We ordered the Arroz con Mariscos since we loved seafood and it did not disappoint. All the seafood was very fresh and cooked perfectly. This dish was amazing and we enjoyed every bite. Our other entree was Salchipapa La Asada and that was great as well. The potatoes really exceeded my expectations and were crisp and delicious. The chicken and huacatay mayo were very tasty and this dish had a lot of flavour. We had a great experience, loved the food, and would consider eating here again. However, the service was a bit too slow and the prices were too high for the portion sizes for me to give this five stars. read more

Quelle belle soirée au barranco! Nous y sommes allées avec un groupe de copines. Nous avons réservé et heureusement car la place était pleine! La sélection de cocktails était intéressante et nous en avons essayé plusieurs. Pour le repas nous avons partagé plusieurs plats. Nous en avons commandé un peu trop et c'était difficile de terminer mais globalement les ceviches étaient tous délicieux et les patates aussi. Ça cale pas mal par contre. Nous avons étiré la soirée, le service était agréable, ambiance sympa dans le lieu. A refaire! read more

Loved this place! The food was excellent and there are plenty of options for vegetarians and meat eaters. They fry the vegetarian items in the potato fryer so that's a plus. The drinks were awesome and the servers were friendly and fun. The place is super cute for photos. Conclusion: what are you waiting for? Go eat there today! read more

Had a wonderful meal at Barranco MTL. First time experiencing Peruvian cuisine and it was absolutely delicious!! Wonderful combination of flavors. The seafood was fresh and amazing. We love ceviche and the 2 we tried were wonderful. And the craft cocktails were crazy good. The bartenders here really know how to pull together great flavors. read more

Ceviche Barranco ($21): Great ceviche. Fish tasted fresh and everything was well-balanced. Jalea Mixta ($21): Not really worth it. Just a bunch of fried seafood. Salchipapa La Poderosa ($18): Tasty dish. The potatoes are crisped up nicely and the sausage is a nice addition. Is it worth it? I wouldn't say it's super value, as the ingredients are quite cheap. It does TASTE good, though A little overpriced. Their ceviche is good. The other stuff is also good, but not a great deal. read more

Was the first time I ate in this peruvian restaurant as they are there only since a couple of years. I always think Solymar was the best peruvian restaurant in Montreal but now this contender won the match. The portions are smaller but are 13 or 15$ a plate you can order 2 plates an enjoy a different combo. And the ceviche are absolutely sublime, they are offering 4 kind of ceviches: Barranco (squid, white fish, shrimp, onion, corn, coriander), classico ( add potatoes), Ala Wong( add plantain) and Rocoto ( with hot sauce). I tried the barranco ceviche and wasn't disappointed, everything was fresh and taste good. My wife had the causa and it was delicious too and she knows what's good she's a peruvian born Canadian! That's the place to go if you like Peruvian cuisine ! J'ai toujours pensé que Solymar était le meilleur restaurant Péruvien mais maintenant Barranco à un sérieux concurrent ! Les ceviches sont tous simplement sublimes. Offert en 4 variétés: Barranco ( poisson blanc, calmar, crevettes, maïs et coriandre), A la Wong( ajoute des patates), classico et A la Rocoto ( avec sauce piquante). J'ai dégusté le Barranco et je n'ai pas été déçu, c'était tout simplement exquis ! Ma femme a goûtée le ceviche et la causa avec un calmar dessus. Si vous voulez dégusté les meilleurs mets Péruvien, c'est la place à fréquenter ! read more

Back a third time and looks like they've rearranged the whole layout since the last time I've been in December 2022. They built a bar along the back right wall and introduced a bunch of booth seats. We went on a Friday night and there was a DJ mixing music at one corner of the bar. They changed all the wall mural art too. All of us had been previously so we went straight to the favorites. You cannot go wrong with the classic and Barranco ceviches. They're consistently fresh each time I've had them. A new dish we had was the Salchipapa La Poderosa. It was a perfect hot side to go with the ceviches. My friends asked for a small rocotto caretillero spicy sauce and the mild flavorful heat literally goes with every dish. Chilled chicha morada can be served with or without ice although it is served in a smaller glass so you get the same amount of juice. Music was just a touch loud but otherwise everything is great. read more

We had a great time last night at Barranco. Thanks to Facundo for the great service. I love Peruvian cuisine. It is the best in Latin America by a long shot. And I love Peruvian restaurants. Some are elegant. Some are traditional. Barranco is "urban" with tapas-size plates as well as full entradas. We had anticuchos de pulpo skewers with grilled octopus and potatoes with a lovely spicy sauce, outstanding ceviche Peruvian style (Peru is the originator of ceviche), and arroz con mariscos. She had a mixed drink with mescal (definitely not Peruvian). I had chicha morada without alcohol. (Chicha morada, made from purple corn, is to Peru what iced tea is to the Southern US). Loud but not too loud. Nice music. Give Barranco a try. read more

We visited Barranco for their New Year's Eve dining menu. On the whole, the food was good, but it did not make up for the service, which was subpar. We were originally reserved to be sat at the bar, and the hostess called to ask if we would be alright to be sat at a table instead, to which we said yes. When we arrived, we were sat at a table right by the window, where a draft was coming through. When asked to be moved to a table away from the window or even to return to our bar seating, we were denied, but noticed that another couple of diners who were originally sat near the window as well were relocated to the interior. Other diners who were made to sit by the window also asked to be moved, and all that was offered to them was assurance that the heating was being raised, and that we wouldn't notice that it was cold once we started eating. Many of us kept our winter coats on as we ate. I would not be against returning to this restaurant if someone requested to go, but I would ensure that we would be seated away from the window in colder months. read more

I don't know where to start with this review. Honestly I was expecting alot from this place. Because ppl were saying it was so good and it was on my list to try but I was so disappointed. We went on a Saturday at around 930. The place was very nice, nice decor, amazing bar. We were seated near the door and people weren't taking consideration when opening the door not caring about the cold coming inside, I would definitely to seat at the bar next time especially in winter time. Obviously this is not the restaurants fault They have a big selection of drinks and the cocktails looked amazing which I loved, they looked all so yummy. We got the Barranco and Aloha, both of them came in like a nice looking cups and I loved how they took the time to do the cocktails. My 2 stars are for the drinks. For food we got Solterito to start, it was refreshing but was lacking flavor I find. We also got the salchipapa la brava and chaufita con chicharron. These 2 plates were average not anything wow. The rice for the chaufita was good but the pork had alot of fat in it. We were very disappointed, I dunno if we made the wrong decision to get those dishes instead of others. We wished that maybe we would have chosen a seafood dish instead. For dessert we wanted the alfajores but they had none left and we didn't really want to try anything else honestly. Service was nothing spectacular, the only time the waitress came to see us was to get our drink and food order, other then that she never asked us how the food was, so service was pretty much non-existent. They also have a live dj, and he was playing very good music which we loved. Will I came back? I don't know honestly. I will come back for the cocktails because I would want to try more of them. But for the food I don't know. read more

What a great find in Montreal! The vibe of this restaurant was nice and lively and they had nice art on the walls reminiscent of Barranco in Peru. The music was also great. Their drink menu was amazing and had so many good options. I wanted to try so many. The food options ranged from your classic lomo saltado to leche de tiger. The ceviches were all good and the octopus, beef and heart anticuchos were also amazing. There are a few vegetarian options as well. The service was good and our waitress was patient in explaining dishes to us and giving us suggestions. The dishes are all nice to share so everyone care try a bit of everything. We were a group of 4 and ordered about 5 different dishes. The location of the restaurant is very central and there are lots of shops to explore around there as well. read more

RAVING ABOUT THIS PLACE!! Everything was soooo delicious. For appetizer we ordered the Barranco Ceviche and it was just beyond delicious. Perfect lemony flavor with fresh seafood. 10/10 so good! Entree Paella Risotto - So so good! The risotto was creamy and delicious and the seafood was so fresh! 10/10 Lomo Soltado - Beyond delicious ! Can never go wrong with meat and potatoes and the flavors were the best 10/10 For drinks Ginger drink - I'm not a very big drinker, but this drink was so good. It had the perfect amount of ginger to hide the taste of the alcohol. Pisco Sour - A little on the sour side hence the name! But really yummy. Dessert Tres Leche - Amazing! Enough said read more

Great ceviche,great portions with lots of fish in the ceviche. Never had peruvian food and this place got me intrigued with their nice flavors. The salchipapa was interesting as well,kinda like a brunch item with some fried pork bits ,huge duck egg and fried potatoes. Was good. The triple skewers was good too,interesting sauve,but i didn't find it worth it, 20 something dollars for 3 skewers I will try their drinks next time and other items. The ceviche is worth it. read more

It would have been cool if our server ever returned to our table after taking our order. We did get our food and the single order of drinks we placed, so that's something. We ended up flagging down the woman who brought out our food to get our checks. We should have just left without paying as our server would not have noticed. read more

Very good food and good service. The ambiance is really family friendly. I would definitely go there again

After spending an entire day attempting to get a reservation, we finally get a seat the next day. We were excited to eat after reading the reviews. Initially, we ordered ceviche that in the picture shows plantain chips, they didn't bring the chips. We had to order separately. After that our entrees come. The chaufa that was delivered to the table mistakenly had chicharron, however we ordered camarones. No big deal, except when we explained the mistake to the server, he was extremely confrontational. He rolled his eyes and walked to the kitchen where we could clearly see him having an animated conversation with the kitchen crew. Once we saw the blatant disrespect, we asked for the chaufa to be canceled and taken off the bill. However, it was not and we had yet another uncomfortable conversation with the server. It's very unfortunate, and we will not be returning.. however we still understand that the kitchen staff and servers share tips so we still gave a 20% tip, hopefully the kitchen staff received their portion. What we did receive correctly was delicious. read more

Cool, interesting, good service I would come back here, and I might decide to give it a 5 star review if I've sampled it more, just couldn't say for sure from the one visit I liked their fancy cocktails, and tasty tapas This is a cool restaurant, worth going with someone to impress them read more
