April 2024 - This is a return visit. I had to try a different pizza, and the hamburger steak was tried by my husband. Good choices. Puzza was great, and so was the hamburger steak. Barbies is a great and convenient place to eat. This time, we sat in the bar because there was a large party with noisy kids. It's not a good idea. The service was not up to par. When asked for something, it took forever. We had to get up and get it ourselves. Not impressed. Unbeknownst to me in the summer of 2021, this Barbie's location reopened. Why did I not know about it? I was surfing the net and accidentally found that the restaurant had reopened. Yeah! With a fully redecorated location, it was an adventure to see if the new franchise is as good as the old. We went with the basics. I had the Meat Lovers pizza, and my partner had the Chicken Souvlaki Sticks. The pizza was good. I ate the whole thing. So if you follow me, you know I'm not a big eater. When it arrived at the table it was steaming hot. I love that. The top was a bit overdone, as you can see in the picture, and it seemed as if someone had forgotten the toppings. The crust was thin and crispy, but as it cooled, it got very hard to cut. The sauce was super tasty, and the pepperoni was perfectly sliced. The menu said that it had smoked meat and bacon, but it was hard to find any. Too bad. I love pizza. As for the Souvlaki, it was very good. I tried the chicken, thinking it would be dry as Souvlaki sticks often are. I was wrong. Tasty, juicy, and super tender. The plate was filled with rice, and a small bowl of salad was provided. The rice was good, but my partner wanted more salad. It was that good. Will we go back? Absolutely. Barbies now has a fidelity card and promotions. Check out...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI recently moved to Dorval and I have been scouting around for good restaurants, bars and venues. I decided to try Barbies Dorval out and I found all three in one! The staff were super welcoming and offered a place in the dining room, but I opted for a seat at the bar. The bartender was attentive and friendly and had a great instinct for when to refill. Great selection of drinks, whether you like IPAs or something harder. Decent wine selection too. I had a pint of Heineken to start, nice and cold, and then a generous Vodka/soda. The menu has a wide variety of classics and some higher end stuff too. They have two-for-one deals, lunchtime offers and a kids menu. I started with a bowl of lentil soup and an appetizer called Cheese Delight, which is fried halloumi. The soup was good but the Cheese Delight really lived up to its name. This combination could be a meal in itself. For my main course I had the Bavette de Boeuf, which is essentially steak frite. Itās advertised as a 7oz but Iām sure it was much more generous than that. I got it medium and it was seasoned and grilled to perfection. It came with a good portion of fries and an excellent cesar side salad. I opted out of their amazing-looking desserts because the combination of appetizer and main was plenty for me. The bartending and wait staff took good care of me throughout my meal. The service was impeccable. I learned that they host personal occasions like birthdays when you can invite you can set up your own band or DJ. I have become a regular visitor since and have tried many of the items on the menu. None have...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreLast night, we were a group of over 60 people gathering for the retirement of my boss and we had an exceptional night! Started with the amazing collaboration with Santino and Chris for the preparation of the event and throughout the night. They were a text or call away for my questions, making the planning as easy as can be! For us, this was an absolute success. Chris even came for the night although it was his day off. The place is very clean and spacious. I am so glad we chose Barbieās Dorval for the event and will book for future events for sure! The small attentions provided all night made the difference. Santino made sure my glass was full, thinking of me when I didnāt have the time. This was not left unnoticed. There was no hiccups at all and anyone planning an event of this type knows how crucial it is to have it as smooth as can be. They also took care of our VIP flawlessly. Now, the food! It was AMAZING! Filet mignon was a medium rare on every plates! The salmon was delicious. Same for the chicken and pizza! The sides were great and well seasoned! I wish I had taken pictures of the food!! Once again Thank you for...
