The Best Restaurants in Saint-Henri

Saint-Henri

Putting together this list of the best restaurants in Saint-Henri was a true pleasure for us.

Saint-Henri is one of Montréal’s most iconic neighborhoods. Established as a municipality in 1875 and annexed to the city in 1905, it offers a vivid illustration of how Montréal’s former industrial districts have evolved over time. Bordered by the Lachine Canal and located next to the Atwater Market, Saint-Henri is a lovely place for a stroll, especially in summer, when its charming architecture and green spaces shine — including Saint-Henri Park, the Lachine Canal Park, and Sir-George-Étienne-Cartier Park.

Thanks to relatively affordable rents, the neighborhood has attracted a new generation of entrepreneurs and artists. Its streets are dotted with art galleries, clothing boutiques, cafés, restaurants, and bars — creating a setting that’s both eclectic and inviting, with a family-friendly atmosphere.

The neighborhood’s close ties to the Atwater Market also help enrich its thriving food scene. Saint-Henri is full of delicious spots to discover — each one driven by passionate restaurateurs who make every visit memorable.

Here is our list of the best restaurants in Saint-Henri.
