HÀ brings Vietnam's lively Bia Hoi tradition of sipping fresh beer on busy street corners to Montreal. Laos-born Chef Ross and Vietnamese late icon Chef Hong Hà Nguyen's menu is inspired by their favourite street foods and meant to pair with the bar's diverse selection of wines and fresh beers.
Diners describe Restaurant Hà as a lively, upscale fusion spot with warm, attentive service and a buzzy yet intimate vibe. The menu earns praise for inventive, flavorful dishes such as the fried broccoli, Mahi Mahi crudo, Pad Thai, bao buns, crab chips, and comforting coconut tom yum salmon, with many noting that tasting menus or sharing plates make for a satisfying experience. A recurring highlight is the fried broccoli, often called a must-try, along with well crafted cocktails and the hidden Nhau Bar downstairs that adds a special ambience. Several reviews commend the staff for friendly, helpful service, though a few mention occasional slower pacing or longer waits during busy times. Noise from the underground club can be disruptive for conversation on busier nights, and vegan guests sometimes find limited tofu options or cross contamination concerns in Pad Thai. Prices and portions are seen as reasonable by many, though some feel portions could be larger for the cost. Overall, Restaurant Hà emerges as a standout choice for celebrations or dates, with a memorable atmosphere, but it is wise to book ahead and note dietary preferences.
Amazing taste, best thai food I've had in Montreal! Great setting!
There's a downstairs too with a speakeasy vibe. Great drinks up & down stairs!
Enjoy!

2nd time going there & it was an absolute delight! Everything is great: superb service, food & drinks ! The Mahi-Mahi crudo was to die for, & the broccolis are incredible too! Overall great restaurant.
Such a great experience! We got the « table d'hôte » special dinner for the Valentines Day for 65$ ( serving 2 people) & we loved it! Inusitate flavours & very good portions! We even got a delicious complimentary drink! The staff was very welcoming & went above to provide us with a wonderful service. I'm still craving the incredible fried brocolli dish & the pho soup!! The only thing that was a little bit disturbing was the noise coming from the dance club that runs underground that the same space & it made conversation a little bit hard. But we are definetly coming back!
HÀ offre du 11 au 15 février un menu St-Valentin à 65 $ incluant un cocktail, édamames & pétoncles, rouleaux impériaux de l'inoubliable M.

Great service, great atmosphere - the pad thai & bao buns & cocktails were all delicious. Highly recommend for a date or girls night dinner - make a reservation!
We came here because a few reviews mentioned vegan & the menu also mentions it on the pad Thai. Even though we're vegan we always mention my partner's shellfish allergy because better safe than sorry. I swear if he didn't have that allergy we wouldn't ever get vegan food.
The tofu that is offered on the menu under the pad Thai is fried in the same oil as the shellfish which isn't vegan or vegetarian. & they don't have any tofu that can just be cooked on top. I'm not sure who they're offering tofu to if it's not for the vegans or vegetarians.
Sometimes I feel that restaurants add the word vegan on their menu just to do it, not because they actually want to offer an option for people who choose to not eat animal products.
The only options we had were the edamame & the pad Thai without the tofu.
The only pro was that our server was nice & the place was nice.
But from seating to getting our main meal was 1 hour, so don't go hungry.
Shared a delicious meal with a friend & we very much enjoyed our experience. Casual yet elegant atmosphere. We ordered the fried broccoli appetizer, the crab chips, & shared some bao buns. Everything was exquisite & tasty. Wonderful attentive service as well, staff is friendly & efficient. Will come back!
