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.

Cadre: Superbe salle! Propre.
Service: Serveurs polis, un peu ternes.
Cuisine: La terrine de duo de saumon était très réussie: pas trop sèche, bien balancée, fine. Le magret de canard était décevant: beaucoup trop cuit, dur, & nerveux. Je l'ai retourné en cuisine, chose que je fais rarement. Mi-cuit au chocolat généreux.
Note: La crème brûlée'traditionelle' mériterait un deuxième'n'.
Peut mieux faire...

Pour le prix... c'est franchement moyen. Nous étions trois & avons chacune été déçue de nos plats. Le service était tout aussi navrant - notre serveur a du sortir son papier pour nous réciter le plat du jour, comme un élève faisant un exposé oral. Il a été trop présent au début, trop absent à la fin. Pour une habituée de bons restos à Montréal - le Cadet, Tiradito, etc - celui-ci est franchement décevant. Le décor est magnifique cependant. Nous nous sommes dit que c'est pour ce décort que nous avons payé si cher, mais ne retournerons plus à moins d'un changement majeur dans la qualité des plats & du service. Car plus question de payer 150$ pour du vin, un fade linguini aux crevettes, & un millefeuilles sec & sans saveur. Montréal regorge de petits restaurants de qualité aux serveurs & cuisiniers passionnés; ce n'est pas le cas du Henri, malheureusement.

Cool place as it's right by Philips square & connected to the hotel. The ceiling height is super high so creates a really nice atmosphere inside. Ordered the French onion soup, duck & the cuit chocolate. The soup was perfect for a cold night, would've been better if it was cheesier but still very good otherwise. The duck was great, a modest half serving was enough to leave room for dessert which was the cuit chocolate… super rich & sweet so you might want to split this dessert. Really nice place to dine out with a great ambiance.

Bel endroit lumineux pour le lunch. Service courtois & preste. Tataki de poisson en entrée fin & bien réussi. Bavette trop cuite. J'ai tout de même bien aimé mon repas.

I want to give a huge shout-out to Chef Marino Tavares & the incredible team at Henri Brasserie Française.
Our meal was nothing short of spectacular - every dish was perfectly executed, full of flavor, & beautifully presented. You can really feel the passion & talent behind Chef Marino's cooking.

A special mention as well to our server David, who was warm, attentive, & genuinely elevated the whole experience. The service was smooth, friendly, & professional without ever being rushed.

From beginning to end, everything was flawless.
If you're looking for a place in Montreal where cuisine, ambiance, & service come together perfectly, Henri is truly one of the best.

Bravo, we'll definitely be back!

Very fancy & classy Brasserie Francaise. Wonderful rapid & discreet service. Choices for lunch are wonderful & well done. Able to offer classic French Pub food in a high end environment & it's facing the beautiful Philip Square. Want to treat yourself to some luxury at lunch? This is the place.

Food came & it was not warm. The salad was soggy & no dressing on it. No one came to check on us to see if we needed anything. Poor customer service. Nice atmosphere but food & service is not worth it.

Beautiful place. But food was very disappointing. Beef tartare (40$) had so much onions in it that it had no other taste but onion. It felt more like onion tartare with beef 😔 cocktail was pretty good though.

Unfortunately, my expectations were not met, & such a seemingly elegant restaurant in the city center turned out to be a simple eatery. The food turned out to be too oily, too much onion in the salmon tartare, which interrupted the taste of the entire dish. The wine list could have been better, the local Canadian wine was not worth paying attention to at all. The service was mediocre. Unfortunately, I did not feel the holiday there, because it has not been there for a long time.

Food is great, but the place is terribly loud. No business dinners possible at that place - unfortunately because it is a nice restaurant. Too expensive for what you get!

Nous avons été manger un soir de semaine pour une fête. Le repas était délicieux & copieux & ceux pour tous les plats choisis. Le service irréprochable & attentionné. C'est un très bel endroit, spacieux avec un cachet vraiment incroyable. Nous avons passer une excellente soirée.

We had high expectations but we were really disappointed. Service was incredibly slow (we waited over 30 minutes to receive our food). Food was not good (it did not had any flavor & the meat was overcooked). I would absolutely not recommend this place.

C'est complètement autre chose qu'un déjeuner à 15 $ il n'y a pas une seule goutte d'huile ou de gras dans l'assiette les cuissons sont absolument parfaites le service impeccable les fruits sont d'une qualité absolument irréprochable j'ai mangé les meilleurs pastèques de toute ma vie oui bien sûr c'est un déjeuner à 50 $ mais pour moi le tout valait 75$, merci beaucoup
