What LuisR likes about Barcola Bistro:
Nice ambiance. Great experience from a family owned and operated small restaurant. The ambiance is great. Vinyl records around that you can buy. Great vinyl records playing in the background.

Great food. You can feel the chef’s passion. Love the opportunity to pair wine with food without costing a fortune.

Barcola is a warm and casual restaurant with exceptional service and delicious food. While some diners experienced issues with food temperature and lack of attention to special occasions, many had positive experiences, praising the ambiance, friendly staff, and unique Italian dishes. The restaurant offers a variety of options for both adults and kids, with an intimate and authentic atmosphere that keeps customers coming back for more. The standout dishes and attentive service make Barcola a must-visit dining destination in Montreal.

Small and intimate. Very nice Italian food and an excellent, short wine list. First class staff. Perfect for a casual evening out in Montreal.
