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.

I took my teenaged son here for his first meal at a French restaurant since we were in town from Massachusetts. He loved it! For a kid who eats burgers & fries, I had him eating the beef tartare & enjoying it. Thank you for a pleasant meal with excellent service!

Definitely expected more from a "high end" restaurant. We got to the restaurant at 11h & got served the main course at 12h30......enough said.

The Henri Brasserie Française is usually always a sure thing for brunch. Everytime we come we always have a great time & experience & Mimosas are yummy. With those reasons we came for the Easter brunch. They had a special Easter menu & we ordered one of everything creating our own tasting menu, plus the seafood tower & an additional dessert. The seafood tower was a great way to start our meal. Including lobster, shrimp cocktail, & oysters that were fresh & perfectly clean & shucked. Easter menu: The rabbit croquettes were fresh & crispy but left a bit to be desired in the taste profile. It was more of a crispy mini arancini with I'm assuming bits of rabbit. Couldn't really make any meat out to be honest I could only make out the rice. The rabbit must have been busy delivering Easter eggs because he was MIA in our croquettes. Also a very small dish, we got 3 croquettes total, & 2 of them were the size of a large marble, the third was even smaller. The dish was mostly shaved cucumber. The chicken & waffles were delicious. Chicken strips were fresh hot & crispy, waffles had a crispy exterior & soft & fluffy when you cut into them, & the poached eggs were perfectly cooked. All drizzled with maple syrup. The lamb shank was fall off the bone tender & rich, the mashed peas were very pulpy in texture & a very dense. It would have been nicer if the peas were blended with fluffy mashed potatoes. The bitter chocolate tarte dessert was refreshing with the citrus gel & wine foam. La goutte chocolatée was just the right amount of chocolate with the chocolate biscuit & chocolate cream mousse. A nice balance of textures with creamy & crispy with almonds crisps & cocoa nibs. The restaurant is beautiful with all the architectural details from the molded ceilings down to the stained glass. The service was good! Our server Dom was great & friendly, only opportunity was having to ask for a refill to our water glasses. To conclude we had a nice time as usual, but there were a few things that could've been better. Still recommend for brunch though, & valet is a plus who like hunting for a parking spot.

Picked the spot quickly after driving in from Toronto. Turned out to be a great choice. The wine selection was excellent, our waiter was friendly & knowledgeable. The food was on point. But it was the atmosphere & aesthetic of the restaurant that really stood out.

Schönes Ambiente, erstklassiger Service. Die Speisen waren vorzüglich. Allerdings wurde eine Suppe zu wenig warm serviert und beim Salat fehlte das Dressing. Beides wurde anstandslos und schnell nachgebessert. Die Auswahl an Weinen im zweistelligen Preissegment ist leider sehr dürftig.

Beautiful, elegant restaurant with professional service standards, but the food was a fail. Ordered the special-of-the-day salmon tartare & it was anything but special. The french fries were cold & the raw salmon was warm & smelly. It took only one bite to know it was off. The waiter offered to replace it, but my guest was halfway through his meal & we were a bit rushed, so I declined. I would have paid, but they did not charge me for the salmon tartare. I won't be returning soon since the pungent smell of warm raw salmon has a way of staying with you for a while.

Service excellent ! Le magret de canard manque franchement de saveur & l'accompagnement de chou-fleur n'étais clairement pas assaisonné. Le filet mignon n'était pas mignon pour une cuisson médium. Encore une fois, l'accompagnement de légumes n'est pas assaisonné. La crème brulée est banale. La tarte au pomme caramélisée était très douteuse, agrémenté d'un arrière goût de pomme pourrit. Fortement déconseillé aux amateurs de « bonne bouffe ». Mais le service est impeccable.

Notre nouvelle brasserie préférée. La nourriture y est parfaite, nous n'avons jamais été déçu jusqu'à présent. Le foie gras est excellent, la lotte, les gnocchis, les suggestions du moment , soupes , viandes etc tout est bon, la crème brûlée & l'île flottante me rappelle la maison. Hormis ma déception au niveau du choix de Chablis, la sélection de vin proposée est vraiment bonne. Le service est rapide & une mention spéciale pour Raphaël, qui s'occupe toujours de nous à la perfection.

Nous avons été pour la première fois ma femme & moi & avons adoré le service reçu. Nous avons demander au serveur ses recommandations pour les drinks & quelques questions par rapport au menu & il était en plein Control de ses moyens. Les cuissons de nos viande étais parfait & tout était goûteux. Pour une des rare fois nous n'avons pas eux besoin de salé ni poivrer nos aliments. C'était très bien assaisonné. Faut noter que nous salons souvent nos aliments. Donc pour notre part en général nous recommandons ce restaurant. Nous avons adoré.

J'aime cette place, plafond cathédrale, située au rez-de-chaussée de l'hôtel Birks donc près de la boutique/bijouterie. ambiance cosy, qualité prix ok.

L'ambiance & le décor sont fabuleux. Les plats sont bien présentés & le goût est délicieux. Le pain est à changer. Ce n'est pas acceptable pour un restaurant prestigieux de nous servir du pain fade. La boulangerie Blé de pays pourrait rehausser votre offre & nous satisfaire pleinement. Finalement le service n'est pas impeccable. À plus de 100$/pers., nos attentes n'ont pas été satisfaites. L'institut du tourisme & de l'hôtellerie du Québec offre une formation de mise à niveau que nous vous suggérons.
