    Le service à la Brasserie Henri est tout simplement exceptionnel ! Chaque fois que j’y vais, l’équipe est accueillante et toujours aux petits soins. On se sent vraiment pris en charge, avec des serveurs et serveuses attentionnés, rapides et très professionnel(le)s. Ils connaissent bien la carte et sont de très bon conseil, ce qui rend l’expérience encore plus agréable.

    I have been going to Henri Brasserie Française for quite some time now, and it has always been a warm and chic spot. Last night, however, I found myself on a date that was not going well. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, the staff were incredibly kind and understanding. From the receptionist to the server and even the bartender, everyone showed such compassion and attentiveness. The servers subtly noticed how things were going and, without being asked, helped bring the evening to a graceful close by bringing the bill early. It was a small but immensely thoughtful gesture that truly made a difference. Their professionalism and humanity shone through, showing the kind of attention you expect from excellent hospitality. As always, the food was fantastic. My favorite dish is the “la cuisse de canard,” which never disappoints. The cocktails are equally delightful, and the ambiance is just beautiful. Whether you’re stopping by for a quiet, delicious dinner or grabbing a drink at the bar before a night out, this place is perfect. I can’t thank the team enough for turning what could have been a terrible night into a much brighter one with their genuine kindness. It wasn’t necessarily part of their job, but their comforting presence left me smiling. I highly recommend Henri Brasserie Française for the incredible food, drinks, and truly amazing service.

    Très bonne expérience dans un cadre magnifique, la serveuse, le maître d'hôtel mais tout la brigade de service de manière générale étaient très accueillants. Les plats sont excellents également, bref une très bonne expérience.

    Belated review of a fantastic experience. The food was very good and the service was so professional. I was concerned beforehand that we would be given a bad table - not the case - as we were 2 women of a certain age. And first time diners. I could not have been more wrong. Not only we were shown to a very nice table - I always love a banquette - but the service was so charming, attentive but not intrusive. That's a hard act to pull off but it was done superbly. Oh! And the food was fantastic too. Perfectly cooked salmon - and everything from start to finish. In 3 weeks in Montreal, it's definitely one of my top meals and memories. And there was a lot of competition. I'll be back.

    The venue carries you back to France. The ambience is lively but not disturbingly so. Service is excellent and the beverages and food are superb.
