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.

A bit disappointed after seeing ratings & comments on Internet. The place is beautiful but the food is soso for the price. I took an appetizer, a main dish (burger), & a dessert with a glass of red wine for a bit more than 100$ totally. For the wine, 15 dollars a glass, the waiter barely tries to reach the threshold line on the glass, not generous at all. For the Angus burger, they don't ask how you want your meat to be cooked. Results, the meat is over cooked, you can't feel any taste of your meat! The fries were over cooked as well... For the appetizer, 5 low quality prawns from Argentina for 23 dollars. The dessert was the only satisfying dish for the price. Honestly I wouldn't recommend the place.

Great food & amazing service. Try the filet mignon or burger - they are exceptional. The restaurant is also located in a historic building once housing the headquarters of the Birks Jewelry company.

This unique location adds character to a meal served with professionalism & attention. The open & airy dining room is a feature of the old Birks building, & the classic lines & features are interesting & elegant. The menu was a sampling of many classics & interesting options, such as the daily soup. Wine selection was eclectic with tastes of many wineries available.

Well situated in downtown Montreal in the Birks Hotel our group of 6 enjoyed a delicious Sunday Brunch with outstanding service. The restaurant is beautiful, the seating was comfortable, we took our time to enjoy the food as well as the company & were never rushed. The eggs Benedict with smoked salmon were beautifully plated as was the cheese plate. I will be returning

Honestly, this is one of the best restaurants I have ever been at. Service was quick, we got our food very fast & hot. I ordered the seafood risotto, & a tropical pavlova. The risotto is the best risotto I have ever had & the tropical pavlova was sweet but not too sweet like most merangues & the mango, passionfruit coulis tangy which brought everything together in the best way possible. Overall great experience & I would definitely go again.

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.
