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.
HA est désormais un de mes endroits préférés à Montréal. Samedi dernier, j'y ai passé un moment formidable dans leur bar du sous-sol, parfait pour commencer & finir la soirée. Leur cuisine fusion propose des plats inventifs & délicieux - j'ai adoré leur Pad Thaï. Le personnel était d'une gentillesse & d'une attention rare! & pouvoir terminer la soirée en dansant avec un DJ sur place, c'était génial. Il y a peu d'endroits comme ça à Montréal… j'y retournerai très bientôt !

Celebrating a special birthday evening, thanks to Restaurant Hà, & Francisco & Co!
All of us delighted with a dinner of delicious Pad Thai, salmon, bao buns…Yum! & copius amount of drinks ( I am still recovering!).
Ending the late night at the Nhâu Bar with amazing music from a top DJ Francisco.. the place was buzzing!
A special thanks to the amazing staff who all make creating such a magical evening!
Please try this amazing Vietnamese restaurant ! Not only one of the cutest restaurant in the area with a secret bar in the basement, but the food is absolutly amazing! The service is very efficient & the staff always has good suggestions. Their drinks are also very good & refreshing (I only take mocktails & tried a few of them, always satisfied). As for food, their fried brocoli is definitly my favorite!
Bien aimé mon expérience dans ce restaurant! Ça faisait longtemps que je voulais essayer l'étage du haut, car j'étais déjà allée au bar au rez-de-chaussée.
Le serveur était extrêmement gentil!!
Points forts :
-Brocolis frits : wow, un vrai coup de coeur!
-Mocktail basilic Smoush : absolument délicieux!
J'ai moins aimé le bao au boeuf, il y avait très peu de viande & ce n'était pas assez garni en légumes. Le pad thaï au porc & aux crevettes était malheureusement trop épicé pour moi.
Le service a été un peu long vers la fin : plusieurs clients sont arrivés en même temps & les serveurs semblaient débordés. On a attendu longtemps pour avoir notre facture.
Mais somme toute, je suis très contente de cette belle expérience là-bas!
superbe soiree avec des plats aux saveurs incroyables ! un service au top avec des conseils & suggestions. Excellent cocktail au bar du dessous pour parfaire l'experience. á refaire!
Super vibe in a great dark speakeasy. A bit hard to see but I guess that's the setting they want to have. Good music & unique drinks to fit the Asian bar theme
Google needs to broaden the categories, this is definitely a Vietnamese bar not a Vietnamese restaurant. Very misleading for someone who's looking for a nice bowl of pho. Food is mediocre & definitely not the atmosphere I wanted to be in for pho. My bad for not researching deeper.
Great place to eat, food is great, lots of fun drinks. Good atmosphere also. There's a bar section downstairs & a restaurant section upstairs, big terrace in the summer. What's not to like?
Okay, I was the nightclub speakeasy below the restaurant upstairs & it was awesome. They had a great DJ & the place was fun. Beautiful Montreal dressed to the nines with awesome cocktails. The lady bartender was a cocktail craftsman. She was also a siren with touch of euro sophistication. Great time.

Des plats incroyables qui font voyager - des cocktails ravissants & délicieux - un staff dédié & souriant que ce soit au restaurant ou au bar - un vrai service à la française - selon moi l'une des meilleures places de Montréal!
Expérience de menu de groupe pour un anniversaire, comme toujours, plats savoureux cependant, difficile de partager un pad thai à 3-4 personnes. Il aurait été bien de servir des assiettes pour 2 au lieu de 3 car nous étions 8 à la table pour 3 plats, pas évident à partager. Cocktails divins autant côté resto qu'au Nhau Bar. Service ultra attentionné & sympathique, ambiance wow.
I've been wanting to try this place for a while &, frankly, was underwhelmed by what they had to offer. I had the AAA beef pho with the chai mocktail & the quencher. The broth was great. It had a sweet flavor, & the beef was very tender & delicious. However, I felt that it wasn't that different from other pho places that I've tried. The mocktails were creative & had interesting flavors. The atmosphere was probably the best thing along with the beef. They played many bangers with dimmed lights, & the bar was stunning. Overall, it was a nice date place, but definitely on the pricier side.

I want to rate the overall experience as a five star rating because the food from the chef & drinks from the bartender is off the chart delicious but the hostess was not giving us good vibes. Maybe she was having a bad day but it rubbed us the wrong way. Our waitress seemed to be carrying too many tables so she wasn't able to give us the attention because her time was limited.
Staying close by & felt like a light & comfortable meal. Decided to get take out, walked in was greeted with a beautiful space & great service. Waited not too long on the bar seat (very comfortable) & was offered tea or water. The order was well packaged & easy to transport. The broth was very rich & the soup was exactly what I needed. 10/10
Les plats étaient savoureux ainsi que les cocktails pour la partie restaurant Hà. Nous avons adoré l'ambiance du Nhau Bar ainsi que le service mais les cocktails n'étaient pas à la hauteur.
