Bar Henrietta is a chic and vibrant Montreal spot where cocktails and sharing plates are highly praised, with a strong wine program and a lively atmosphere that can feel crowded at times. The food is flavorful and varied, featuring items like burrata, octopus, scallops, ceviche and piri piri chicken, and the popcorn is a popular highlight for many guests. The vibe is warm and welcoming, the terrace is often described as beautiful, and the overall mood works well for a first date or a night out with friends. Noise levels can be loud and conversation may be difficult when the place is busy. Service is friendly and attentive on many visits but can slow during peak hours, and some patrons report long waits for drinks. The space feels intimate yet compact, with some tables sharing space when crowded and no reservations available in many cases. Overall Bar Henrietta is a popular choice for good value cocktails and tasty small plates with a vibrant atmosphere, though experiences vary with noise and service speed.
Nous avons attendu 40 minutes dans la file parce que le restaurant n'accepte pas de réservations à l'avance. Pendant ce temps, le serveur a déplacé notre table d'un endroit à un autre.
Nous avons précisé que nous étions venus pour un anniversaire & nous avons demandé s'il y avait un dessert offert ou une petite réduction. Après cela, nous avons encore attendu 10 minutes pour le dessert après avoir payé l'addition.
Je comprends que le restaurant était très occupé, mais nous étions déjà prêts à partir. Merci au serveur noir (il n'a pas dit son nom) qui a essayé d'améliorer la situation. Mais, à part le goût de la nourriture, je ne recommande pas cet endroit.
One of my favorite Montréal spots so far! Super chic interior & all of the staff were super friendly & welcoming. Great happy hour prices as well. I enjoyed the popcorn (life changing) & the kale caesar. highly recommend!

I love everything about Henrietta! The food is spectacular - new flavours every time. The atmosphere is lovely & the service spot on. Highly recommended! We live six hours from Montreal & visit Henrietta every time we visit the city. It's always a trip highlight.
Bar Henrietta is a beautiful bar with small tapas-like dishes. The food & service were excellent. No reservations, alas, & when we arrived there was a waiting list for the gorgeous outdoor terrasse (one of the prettiest in Montreal, in my opinion). However you can start your night indoors & the staff will transfer you outdoors when a table frees up. All in all, a lovely spot. Highly recommend!
Ambiance exceptionnelle, service incroyable & bouffe délicieuse. On a pris le ceviche, la mousse de foie de volaille & le tartare de boeuf : tout simplement sublime. Une adresse à recommander sans hésiter !

Nous avons partagé plusieurs tapas à 4 & avons tout adoré! Je recommande! J'enlève une étoile pour le service qui a été un peu long & on m'a renversé 2 fois de l'eau dessus, la première fois sans rien dire ce que j'ai trouvé un peu ordinaire.. par contre rien à dire sur le serveur.
I was with a friend from Vancouver & we were walking around to find a nice place for diner (we were at Siboire before at it was super nice but we wanted to find somewhere else to eat) the staff was nice at the beginning, but the music inside was LOUD. We asked to go to the patio, then we asked about wine (glasses & bottle price) & they said there was no menu for glass (??) Just for bottles. I asked the price & they said'glass is 13 to 16$, bottles are 60 to 200$', I said I wanted to know each SPECIFIC price & they said'you have to ask for each wine & then I can tell you' so I felt they were judging us, as people that couldn't afford their food/wine. I got a 60$ wine bottle, & we got the octopus dish, one of the most expensive in the menu. The food was delicious, but they serve the diners in a dessert dish, tiny portions (we looked at the Google pictures before, & it looked like a diner dish) so we were frustrated. I would not recommend it.

Super cute bar that has small bites. Their Portuguese sandwich was delicious. Drinks & overall ambience of the place also was a highlight. Highly recommend as a before dinner spot.
Je recommande le bar Henriette à tout le monde! J'y suis allée un samedi soir & nous avons attendu un peu avant d'être assis mais c'était assez rapide puisqu'on est allé au bar. Les assiettes étaient délicieuses & les margaritas aussi. Par contre parfois le mélange de chaud-froid dans certains plats étaient surprenants. Mais vraiment délicieux!
Loved Bar Henrietta!! The service was great & friendly, our waiter even heard us talking about wanting to change our drinks & asked to switch them for us. The food was really good & such reasonable prices. I recommend getting some things to share, we loved the burrata & the popcorn. Drinks were very good as well & lots of fun cocktail choices. The only complaint we had was that the space is quite small & some of the tables you have to share with other parties. It gets very busy so would recommend trying to get there early!

Adorable little cocktail & wine bar tucked away in the mile end. We had two cocktails & the recommended rosé as well as a bowl of their marinated olives. It's a super cute location with a charming & helpful wait staff. Stop by if you have the chance & enjoy an inventive cocktail or really excellent glass of wine!
Une terrasse agréable & un intérieur très joli bien qu'un peu trop bruyant. Le bar Henrietta est un super lieu où se retrouver pour boire du bon vin, les cocktails y sont bons bien que pas non plus exceptionnels. La nourriture est très bonne, meilleure que dans la plupart des autres bars. Je recommande notamment les gnocchis & le ceviche. Très bon service également.
We had a fantastic visit to Bar Henrietta. Great food & drinks, reasonable prices & friendly, welcoming service. This bar checked every box for an evening out with friends. Highly recommended!
