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.
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.
Amazing vibes overall, though the music was a bit too loud for comfortable conversation. The drinks were good, & the popcorn was the highlight of my visit. I had the gnocchi, which was okay. My friends ordered a chicken dip with bread (I don't remember the exact name), & it was amazing. I'd say this is a great place for good vibes & a few drinks.
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!
Great spot with fantastic drinks! Only problem is their service. If the place is empty, you'll get them fast, but as soon as they get busy, their staff can't handle it (appears to be a common thread based on other reviews) & you'll end up waiting 30-40 min for one cocktail.
Tip: if you're in a hurry: DO NOT ORDER A COCKTAIL, they're incredibly slow... instead order a glass of wine/champs. Or just sit at the bar. Bar service is much better.
A million stars for the chicken pate. Absolutely amazing! The service was a bummer though. Would have ordered more drinks & another plate if our server had checked in with us. Instead we were left sucking ice cubes while we were eating our spicy Piri Piri chicken lol
