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.
Resto sympathique, personnel courtois, très bon service, nourriture bien apprêtée, menu vietnamien varié & prix relativement abordable. J'ai retournerai assurément!

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!

Great food & cocktails for the price. Would definitely go again. Only issue was that the table we had was a little small for 10 people on that day. Would definitely recommend!

Le lieu est beau, le service ets bon. Notre expérience d'aujourd'hui ne représente en rien la finesse des arômes & la qualité de la nourriture servie par M. Hà de son vivant. J'avais "oversaled" l'epxérience à mes collègues. La nourriture est okay. Sans plus.
Food was incredible! Buns are out of this world & they adjust the spiciness of the pad thai to our taste. The drinks are great (a little too much ice, but great in taste) The service was a little slow, there were some mistakes on the bills. But we were a group of 16 & they still managed to get all the dishes out at the same time.
J'adore l'endroit & les plats qui y sont préparés. Par contre la serveuse a renversé mon cocktail & a oublié de m'en amener un autre en remplacement. La salle du bas est sympathique mais il n'y a pas accès au menu complet
Staff were nice & the drinks were great. The food was good - the spicy broccoli was as good as everyone said it was - we even ordered it again it was that good. The pad Thai was good flavor but it felt a little soft/over cooked but it didn't bother us much. The beef dish was okay - the broth was very flavorful but the beef itself was tough & pretty dry despite being in broth. Atmosphere was nice though & decor was very pretty.
