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.
Excellent service comme d'habitude & Carlito fait le meilleur espresso martini de la métropole. Un peu déçue du changement de buns pour les bao, ils étaient bien meilleurs avant.
Delicious food & amazing service. The staff was super kind & helpful. The place is perfect for a date night, as well as a birthday dinner with friends.
The fried broccoli are a must!
Highly recommended!
If I said that the broccoli was the best part of a meal, that would probably sound like I hated it, but man, the fried broccoli here is out of this world. The tuna tataki & the salmon tartare were also excellent in their own right, but I couldn't stop eating that broccoli. I'll be back.

Les plats étaient tout simplement succulents ! Nous avons passé un agréable moment en amoureux, tout était parfait.
Seul bémol : l'onglet de boeuf aurait pu être plus savoureux.
