Review Summary

Henri Brasserie Française + Lounge is described as a stunning Parisian inspired venue in a historic setting near a central square, with high ceilings, warm lighting, and a chic yet welcoming atmosphere. The menu balances classic French brasserie dishes with seafood options, and many reviews praise items such as onion soup, escargots, tartare, duck, seafood pasta, and refined desserts like millefeuille and Paris Brest, though some meals are noted for being overpriced or not as flavorful as expected. Service is frequently described as attentive and friendly with knowledgeable staff and strong wine and cocktail lists, while a few visits mention rushed pacing, slow timing, or occasional lapses. The ambiance and setting are repeatedly highlighted as a standout, with praise for the elegant decor, lively yet not overly loud atmosphere, and suitability for celebrations, though a handful of guests found the noise, service inconsistencies, or dining value less satisfying. Overall the experience is viewed as memorable for lovers of French cuisine and architecture, with many recommending a visit for a refined brunch or dinner, while noting variability in value and consistency.

Concierge at hotel across the street recommended this restaurant as I waited too late for other top places in town on Friday evening. He was correct. It is a large space so room for many people & well lighted, thank you. Not too crowded & noise was of no issue. Started dinner for three with a "bottle of champagne". Waiter Raphael corrected me properly that my choice was not "methode champagnoise". Absoutement! Bubbles were good & always make a meal special. I ordered the I. P. E. (Prince Edward Island) small filet & medium rare. Perfect size for me, perfectly trimmed & perfectly cooked. The best piece of meat ever in my mouth. Timing of plate delivery was proper, no precooked items waiting at hold station for this place. My two dining companions went the next day for lunch so that says everything from their side.

A beautiful upscale restaurant located inside the Birks Hotel right across from Phillips Square in Montreal.
Classic French flair with elevated twists. Went for a work lunch & the servings were generous but not overwhelming. Ordered the chèvre salad which was amazing. Warm
Goat cheese was served on a toasted baguette slice with endives & greens to accompany. Highly recommended especially for a midday meal.
Coffee was excellent & everyone drooled over the lemon tart. Will check out again for dinner menu.
