Henri Brasserie Française + Lounge French elegance with the unique charm of a stunning space in the historic Birks building. Owned by the family behind Hôtels St-Martin, Henri is a refined yet approachable brasserie that quickly became a downtown favourite, thanks to a beautifully crafted menu served in a grand, high-ceilinged dining room with 19th-century French-inspired décor.
The menu celebrates classic French cuisine with a Quebecois twist, with signature dishes like the rich seafood soup, refined hamburgers, and perfectly cooked Arctic char. The wine list, curated by sommelier Colin Beaudoin-Lambert, features private imports and exceptional champagnes, while mixologist Eddy Germain serves up cocktails that balance tradition and creativity.
