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.
Première fois à ce restaurant. La serveuse nous a proposé de partager différentes entrées. Excellente proposition! En plat principal, le Pad Thaï était succulent. Nous y retournerons sûrement.
Restaurant très agréable, bon service, nourriture qui m'a semblé très bonne sur le moment, mais j'ai été malade toute la nuit après avoir mangé du saumon & bu un vin blanc très ''spécial'' ! Je ne sais pas si c'était le saumon qui n'était pas frais ou le vin qui était passé, mais j'ai clairement eu une intoxication TRÈS désagréable !
Everything was really good. But we waited for a really really long time for our food (more than an hour) & had to ask our waitress about it. Somehow disappointed about that one.
