After eating poutine two days in a row I was after something a bit more substantial and Barcola ticked that box perfectly. A new menu offered each day with fresh produce. The staff were extremely nice. Order the steak and Spritz Aperol.

I have to say I only tried it recently for dinner and I was a bit disappointed, very pretentious place, starting with the fact that the menu consisted only on vegetarian & fish-based dishes, I love fish but my husband couldn't find anything of his liking, all the dishes had cream sauces, which for a lactose intolerant like me, wasn't very forgiving... I still went ahead and order the scallops... plus

We had a very lovely Italian brunch here, and the service was really pleasant and nice as well.

We shared two plates, one that came with some grilled bread and spreads which included a tasty burrata cheese with honey and nuts. The other was a salmon dish with a pretty ordinary arugula salad but the salmon was perfect. The space is somewhat small but very nice and quaint, perfect for a party of... plus

Good, but need one more try

Great little place. Friendly staff. Food was innovative and well pulled together. A little pricey for just a quick night out, but not too bad. Menu was very paired down, but the restaurant does say they change it frequently. Hence, I am tempted to go back and see what else they can do. Then I can make a final decision. Tables are small and very close together. Place was a little dark inside. I... plus

Dorade royale

Nous étions 4 .Mon amie et moi avons choisi la dorade qui s'est avéré plutôt fade, ayant été simplement grillée, sans épices, sans sauce, avec seul accompagnement quelques feuilles d'épinards et une pomme de terre; ce n'était pas mauvais mais c'était decevAnt. Mon mari a adoré son spaghetti aux palourdes et ma fille a appréciée sa pizza. Les entrées et desserts étaient parfAits. J'y... plus

Nice atmosphere, good service, delicious coffee. The breakfast itself was definitely lack-lustre though. The baguette served with breakfast seemed suspiciously not same-day fresh, my Italian sausage plate was artfully garnished with green grapes. Pretty to look at, but they weren't the best quality and some more fresh fruit on the plate would have been a nice thought. The Italian sausage was... plus

Awesome Italian food. Classic and great price. Prossecco night on Thursday.

One of the best brunch, with good price

There is already a couple a good places to eat a brunch in Montreal. The Barcola Bistro reinvent the brunch with a short but awesome menu. I had the porc and scrambled eggs, which was perfect! Every breakfast comes with a basket a bread and bagel. The only thing that bothers me is the coffee, which is from a industrial... plus

I've had the pleasure of brunching at Barcola on two occasions. Both times were very satisfying experiences. If you're looking for tasty dishes, fast and friendly service + reasonable prices, this is it. Also, two thumbs up for the jazzy, laid-back decor. Barcola's the kind of place where I can easily see myself becoming a regular.

I've been to brunch at Barcola Bistro for two weekends in a row and had a wonderfully consistent experience at this brand-new bistro in the Mile End.

The first brunch plate I ordered was a croissant halved and filled with whipped ricotta ($8), custard and fresh raspberries, served with a dollop of nutella and pears -- it was sinfully delicious and tasted as good as it looked.

The following... plus
