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.

The service was great, I placed my purse on the windowsill & our server brought over a velvet stool for me to place it on, I even got escorted to the bathroom so I knew where it was, we got seated right away, the cocktails & food were amazing, cannot preach enough!

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. Chic & timeless steering away from trendy. However the food is just ok. The appetizers (onion soup & escargot) were excellent but the salmon tartare & steak did not match the finery of the decor. I would gladly Return again for a drink but not for a meal.

We had a good experience at this restaurant. If you would like a brilliant brasserie experience, this is the place.

The staff was great & atmosphere was lovely.

The food was pricey, but fair. I was disappointed that the menu has a lot of raw meats. I'd say more than half of the the menu was some raw meat. This made it hard for my pregnant wife. As for the starters, there was only 1 that didn't have raw meat. Very disappointing.

If you are going for dinner on a Friday night. Go before 7pm as after 7:30pm it starts to get busy.

Great service & very friendly welcoming at reception desk, nice ambiance for having coffee & dessert during the day, we sat down in the lounge area. Passionfruit mille-feuille is different from the standard mille-feuille , however is nice to try! I ordered cafe latte but next time prefer Americano over there

Nous sommes allés au restaurant Henri, situé à l'intérieur de l'hôtel Birks, afin de savourer la cuisine française & de profiter d'une ambiance typiquement parisienne.
La qualité des plats était au rendez-vous. Un coup de chapeau au sommelier !
Cependant, je ne peux donner que 3 étoiles en raison de notre expérience désastreuse avec le service de valet, qui a complètement ruiné notre soirée!
Le valet, Justin, a catégoriquement refusé d'amener notre voiture devant la porte du restaurant. Mon mari & moi avons donc dû marcher dans la neige & sur des trottoirs glacés pour rejoindre notre véhicule stationné dans une rue adjacente - une situation particulièrement inconfortable, surtout en tenue de soirée & avec des talons.
Arrivés sur place, nous avons constaté qu'il était impossible d'ouvrir la porte du passager en raison de poteaux placés à proximité. Mon mari, très mécontent, a tenté d'obtenir de l'aide, mais le valet n'a fait aucun effort pour nous assister. Son attitude arrogante & méprisante a rendu la situation encore plus désagréable. Pire encore, il s'est permis d'insulter mon mari, allant jusqu'à le traiter de fou...
Ce comportement inadmissible a gâché notre soirée! Si vous prévoyez d'aller au restaurant Henri, je vous déconseille fortement d'utiliser leur service de valet !! Décevant !

Excellent service reçu par François, il était très gentil du début jusqu'à la fin. Il nous a conseillé un vin rouge français qui était très bon avec mon plat. Je le recommande fortement.

Le Restaurant Henri est un des endroits les plus surprenants. Par l'architecture & le décor singulier qui nous transportent à Paris ne serait-ce qu'un court instant. Vos papilles gustatives vont être littéralement renversés par la qualité des plats servis, où les saveurs sont au rendez-vous. Soucieux, le personnel sur place s'assure en tout temps que vous passiez un bon moment à table. Quant à l'échelle de prix, il faut simplement se demander si vous accordez une valeur à l'expérience que vous désirez vivre à un tel endroit. Personnellement, pour la qualité exceptionnelle du menu, c'est peu cher payé pour vivre un moment unique en son genre.

It was our first New Year's Eve together dining in a fancy restaurant & it was definitely a great experience! I was amazed by the charming atmosphere. The gracefully high ceiling & the gorgeous stained glass windows, the beautiful decor of the room, people all dressed up. It was a busy night, the servers running on the floor with smiling faces all the time. They were attentive & impeccable. In this moment, I felt like living in a kingdom. We had New Year's Eve menu as others .The food was fresh & delicious. The cozy fireplace corner was the perfect spot to make New Year Wishes. The terrific burgundy night, cheers!
