The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning. The space is elegant, warm, and romantic, with a beautiful atmosphere that makes you want to linger. It wasn't too busy (likely because it was Sunday), but that only made it feel more intimate. For appetizers, my friends ordered the French onion soup and escargot. The soup was flavorful and served piping hot--it stayed that way for over 20 minutes! The escargot isn't usually my thing, but my friends raved about how buttery and delicious it was. For mains, I had the spaghetti aux fruits de mer. It looked incredible when it arrived, and the flavors matched the presentation--fresh, savory, and satisfying. My friends went with the suprême de volaille and the bavette grillée & frites. Judging by their clean plates, they clearly enjoyed every bite. We ended the night by splitting multiple desserts, which was the perfect finish to a memorable meal. Overall, Henri Brasserie exceeded expectations. Between the beautiful setting, attentive service, and dishes that truly delivered, I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for a romantic dinner or a special night out in Montreal.

This is a curious place. In a nutshell, excellent eats, but quite rough off the plates. I'll…read morestart with the maitre'd/host, who was sufficiently surly that you might actually mistake him for being a French caricature out of central casting. Our seating was really great, nice and spacious. Our server was simply... the best. She was attentive, gave us excellent recos -- we elected for a smattering of shareable à la carte small plates rather than the three course tasting menu (there seemed to be so much overlap between the two menus anyway, so we elected for the flexibility of à la carte). The boudin with small prawns was fantastic -- the boudin itself held up in flavor yet was delicate in texture. Excellent burrata that came dressed with really fresh accompaniments and mad points for the rustic bread that came nicely toasted. The octopus was generous enough for four of us to have a good taste and move on -- it came with a lovely red sauce that I wanted to mop up with bread. The tuna tartare was brilliant, the french fries that came with it seemed a tad unconventional. And a big win for the lobster risotto, absolute perfection. I wish I could remember the names of the cocktails we ordered but suffice to say, they were all delicious, never harsh in any way. So one thing I wanted to point out was how this one server -- not our main server who was, again, THE BEST -- kept clearing out plates in the middle of eating. Literally, we're in the middle of enjoying a dish and he'd just swoop in, swipe our plates, and dash off. WTF is that about. This lack of awareness definitely took points off an otherwise rather enjoyable meal. Just watch out for the surly host at the front of house and be prepared to fan off the guy trying to take your plate and you just may have yourself a delightful meal here!

That being said, we made the short walk from our room to start the day. Maison Boulud is one of several restaurants by chef Daniel Boulud. In addition to this location in Montréal, I believe there's another one in Singapore. The restaurant conveniently has an entrance off the lobby, though it also has its own dedicated entrance on the street. The interior was mostly empty when we arrived, mainly because it was a lovely day and most patrons (including us) opted to sit in their outdoor area. The decor is top tier - high end finishes with interesting art and pops of color throughout. The outdoor area was semi-enclosed with lovely views of foliage and a small pond with ducks swimming...aww! For breakfast, they offered the option of a la carte or their buffet. We opted for the latter, which was quite abundant. There was a great selection of traditional breakfast offerings like scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, yogurt, and fruit. They also had some interesting pastries and breads, plus an omelette station. Everything I tried was delicious. Service was great, we were taken care of promptly and despite it being self-service, we never felt ignored. Overall, I had a great experience at Maison Boulud. I don't think I got the quintessential experience as I was only here for breakfast, but I would definitely return for another meal.

Not only were they able to accommodate us, we were given a beautiful table beside the window, which made for such a beautiful background for such an important dinner! The service was obviously impeccable, and the food was unexpectedly spectacular. The menu was exactly what we wanted in Montreal - French food, but not too fancy to comprehend. All of the items ordered appeared to be enjoyed by my guests. The prices were also reasonable, given the prime location and beautiful restaurant - I would say around $50pp before drinks. We shared a couple bottles of lower priced wine which was minimal when the cost was split. Overall, I am so appreciative to Gaspar Brasserie Française for the wonderful dining experience. I would definitely recommend for a special occasion or date night.

My wife and I were tourists in Montreal, and decided to eat here on our first day…read more I ordered the braised beef cheek (which came with risotto, mashed squash and parmesan). My wife ordered their burger. For dessert, we split a Paris Brest. My meal was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I don't know how to find the words that describe how amazing my dish was. The beef - savoury and tender. The risotto - seasoned just right. But again, words don't do it justice. My wife's burger - good. Nothing out of this world. Not a bad burger, but not the best she's ever had, either. Finally, the wait time. Where did they lose points? The food came in a reasonable amount of time (17 mins.), but just waiting for the waitress to take our order took quite a while. But knowing this, if I'm ever in Montreal again, I would DEFINITELY go to this restaurant.

Their continental breakfast was so good we didn't bother ordering anything off the regular menu. Each breakfast came with a pastry of choice, and I got the (very large but delicious) croissant. There was also a yogurt parfait with berries and granola that was a perfect compliment to the carbs of my croissant. I didn't really get my coffee refilled so I'm not sure if that's all you get, but it was still a lovely coffee and I enjoyed dining here. They also have a really lovely outdoor patio that we finally got a moment to visit. I would have come for the patio alone, it was so lovely and everything I needed on a warm summer afternoon. Sometimes it took awhile for our server to come out and check on us, but we had the time so it didn't really matter. He was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu.

A delightful breakfast on a weekday morning!…read more We were lucky enough that Renoir opened as early as 7 AM and so seeing the glowing reviews, we had to stop by. The first thing I noticed right off the bat was the beautiful layout of the restaurant. They had plenty of seating, and I love that there was a variety from booth to traditional tables to couches! This restaurant was truly elegant. For someone who always gets overwhelmed with choices, I really appreciated that their breakfast menu was straight to the point, and while there were still many offerings, it was succinct. Our table started off with some juices and coffee - I decided on the grapefruit juice, but I really wish I had tried the orange juice because it was definitely freshly squeeze and I was told that it was so sweet and delicious! The grapefruit juice was good too, but I forgotten how bitter grapefruit can be :,) for my entrée I got the eggs Benedict with a side of potatoes, and this was cooked to perfection. The eggs Benedict still had that runny yolk with a savory hollandaise sauce while the potatoes were one of best breakfast potatoes I've ever had. The flavor was Herby and potato was firm enough to still have that crispy exterior but soft enough that I could break the potato in half with my fork. Another thing I have to brave about this restaurant was the service. Our waiter was so kind and funny and he was always coming back to attend to us and make sure that we had everything we needed. Really love this place and hopefully I can come back again for breakfast in Montreal!
