Barranco MTL - Peruvian restaurant & cocktail bar

Verified by uberall

I was really excited to try this place after seeing so many great photos online, but unfortunately, the experience was a big letdown. While the presentation of the food was impressive, the flavors didn’t live up to the hype.
We started with three appetizers:
Mentirositas
Popcorn de Coliflor
Solterito
They were decent, but nothing particularly memorable.
For the main course, we ordered Arroz con Mariscos, which was very disappointing. I usually love seafood, but this dish was neither flavorful nor well-executed. The risotto was overly salty and oily far from the refined taste I was expecting. We also tried the Lomo Saltado, which was just okay. To be fair, the potatoes and rice were the best parts of that dish.

The music was extremely loud, making it difficult to hear my friends, so we ended up asking to be seated inside. Unfortunately, the service didn’t improve much after that. Our waitress took our order but never checked in with us afterward to see if everything was okay. We even had to ask other staff members just to get water.

Overall, this was not the experience I was hoping for, and I wouldn’t return. The food simply didn’t stand out, and with so many better options available, it’s not a place I’d recommend.

Wow!!!! I am so glad that this was our last dinner in Montreal because we would have compared every other to it and would have been disappointed. It was absolutely nothing short of AMAZING! The drinks....best we had the entire time here.....the service was completely on point, friendly, efficient, and the place was busy. We started with sharing Solterito and it was so fresh, well-balanced, and light. My daughter got the ceviche rocoto and I got the anticucho de Pollo....both ridiculously flavorful. I wish I could have ordered one of everything on that menu...seriously. We shared the passion fruit cheesecake and it was perfect. I do not have a single bad thing to say. If you have the chance...go! I absolutely promise you will not be disappointed.

This place came highly recommended from our friends, and it did not dissapoint. We arrived around 6 for a very late lunch, with a very tired toddler. We were immediately seated at a very busy but lovely patio, and server was amazing. We got a bunch of stuff to try as well as their local own beer. I also requested for two simple fried eggs for my son, and they were so sweet to accomodate my request at a minimal cost. Highly recommend, for both family affairs as well as date nights!

We had a great time. The place is super cute, good music, good vibes. Was packed! The food was fresh and flavourful. Will definitely go back.

Absolutely loved this place! The drinks were delicious and perfectly balanced. The food was just as impressive—especially the Jarey D’Agnon, which was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The team was incredibly friendly and professional, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Price-wise, everything felt reasonable and made sense for the quality. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Peruvian cuisine in Montreal!
