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.

This is a classic style French restaurant with all the different trappings that you expect of a classic French restaurant, including fancy wine & really cool cocktails & rich food designed specifically to maximize flavor & treat your palate to an experience. It won't forget. I got a white fish dish that was really delicious & paired very nicely

Superbe expérience, notre serveur Arnaud était agréable & au taquet ! Service très professionnel & chaleureux avec petites attentions, anticipant nos demandes & répondant rapidement à nos besoins. Niveau nourriture, c'était bien, nous nous sommes régalés mais sans plus. La recommandation vin était excellente, sublime. Seul petit bémol, il n'est pas très simple de se garer à proximité, mais il ne faut pas s'arrêter à ça & louper une belle adresse. Notre serveur nous a d'ailleurs gentiment conseillé pour notre prochaine visite, ce qui est très apprécié.

Franchement décevant... Un restaurant qui se prétend'français' mais qui sert des portions minuscules à des prix exorbitants. C'est inadmissible pour un établissement de ce niveau de facturer de telles sommes pour des portions aussi dérisoires. J'ai commandé le poisson du jour & des profiteroles, & je suis sorti de là encore affamé, avec une facture de près de 150$ avant les tips & les taxes. Honnêtement, il y a bien d'autres restaurants à Montréal qui offrent une meilleure qualité pour un prix bien plus raisonnable. Je ne reviendrai pas, & je ne le recommande pas.

A beautiful restaurant with a very well thought out menu. The layout of the plates is done with thought & care. My only negative is a personal preference for scraped meat versus chopped in the tartare. Aside from that my meal was excellent.

Very overpriced. The menu before covid area was nice. I went back recently for Sunday brunch. Now it is overpriced & the size of the meal has shrunk so much! I was still hungry after the brunch. Not worth it anymore. Service is great & atmosphere is nice but the food does meet the basic needs. Very sorry but I will not go back. 100$ for 2 for egg Benedict & tea including taxes & service fees!! Just too much for me.

Accueil chaleureux & personnels professionnels & attentionnés. Nourriture chaude & généreuse. Enfin un endroit où ça parle français à Montréal. Les prix de la nourriture sont bien dosés & relativement abordables pour la qualité, par contre le vin est un peu dispendieux, pas assez de choix de bouteille abordable. Seulement un vin à 60$, l'autre à 90$ & le reste très cher. Mais juste pour la nourriture c'est très bien

My friend & I went for lunch today. She had the gnocchi & I had the burger. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful & the service was impeccable; from the hostess, to the server & to the manager. You must try the incredible tarte tatin & crème brûlée! Thank you, we will be back.

Très beau restaurant. Personnel très courtois. Bon tartare de boeuf. Dommage que les frites soient arrivées lorsque que le tartare eut été terminé.

I loved Henri Brasserie Française. Chic but not pretentious at all (relax, which is always a great thing). You feel good here, exactly as it should happen at every single restaurant as that is supposed to be the purpose of anything related to the hospitality industry (hosting patrons, pleasing the patrons in return for their money), but not all restaurants manage to do that as successfully as Henri. & the place is beautiful. Service is superb. That Hollandaise Sauce really stood out, by Montreal Hollandaise Sauce restaurant standards, the homemade brioche bread (of the Eggs Benedict) at this brunch at Henri is what dreams are made of.
