Chez Henri Restaurant & Bistro

We first started coming to Waitsfield in 1987 or so. I don’t remember when we first started coming to Chez Henri, but it was a long time ago.

A few things have changed. They’ve reduced the size of the dining room because of being short staffed and the bread being warmed by the fire, along with fireside seating is gone. But the overall character is unchanged.

The food was excellent. The fondue is always so much fun. The mussels were excellent and our mains were perfectly prepared.

My favorite has always been the crème brûlée. The texture is perfect. It’s home made all the way.

We will always be back for more.

We had a great birthday dinner tonight! The prize fixe menu was new but offered nice choices and everything was delicious. We all got profiteroles for dessert but the cake looked good too.

If I could give 0 stars I would. A four-course Prix fix dinner and 1.5 hours into it my partner and I were served the second dish (mussels) which were terrible. (fishy - the couple at the table next to us confirmed theirs were bad as well). When we informed the manager that both the food and service was poor and that we’d just like to settle the bill for what we were served and leave, he ignored us and brought out our third course and tried to serve it to us. We insisted on leaving (we didn’t want to risk another bad fish). They insisted on charging us full price for one of the Prix course meals. I’ve never written a bad restaurant review, but this was such a terrible experience and the staff so generally rude, I feel compelled to.

It's too bad this place didn't live up to all the wonderful reviews that brought my boyfriend and I into eat here on a Saturday night. I called in advance to make a reservation for 8pm, we showed up on time and weren't told why our tables weren't ready but just that they weren't ready yet and then waited to be sat at 8:40pm. I should've taken the hint. Not only were we suprised to see a pre fix menu when we finally were seated, but half of the dining area was closed with a large cloth placed in front of it, not the quaint French ambiance we expected to sit in either. We ordered from the newly launched prix fix dinner menu and were not served the fondue and bread dish until 30 minutes later. We waited longer and were then served the mussels dish, which was inedible, I received 3 mussels that weren't cooked and my boyfriend had 3 off/fishy mussels, we just hope he wasn't food poisoned by them. By 10pm we had had enough. With no acknowledgement to the fact that they were serving us our courses so late and spread out and no apologies or communication about any of it we felt like we were in the twilight zone. There were about 5 other tables around us whispering the same things, that they were fed up with waiting, the food wasn't good and they just wanted to leave and didn't want to even get their dessert. I don't write reviews like this ever, but I'm writing this because I wish someone else had and I had known not to eat here. Also, their new prix fix menu and smaller dining area apparently only launched two weeks ago, it would have been nice to be told that they were serving a prix fix menu only when I called and spoke to the host to make a reservation, this isn't printed on their menu on the website or anywhere. It seems like with all their changes, they aren't able to feed a smaller dining room of people efficiently with edible food and I would highly recommend avoiding taking any risks with this place. The host and waistress weren't apologetic either, real icing on the cake. Too bad all the restaurants close around here at 10pm, we missed our window of eating anything..I would give this place NO STARS if I could.

Great way again to start the New Year - dinner on New Year’s Day! They did change the format to a Price Fix menu - 4 courses for $80 and 5 courses for $120 - everything delicious - did the 4 courses- fondue for 4 - mussels or salmon followed by Chicken or Filet- they were out of the sea bass then choice of 3 desserts - 5 course had a “mystery” choice and some variations - Seating area was smaller due to staffing limitations but Bernard and staff made it a wonderful evening - no rush just 2 1/2 hours of dining experience

The website says open for the season, the door says closed for the season.

Had a wonderful experience. I had the breakfast an my husband had a hot hamburger. Both were delicious. My bacon was perfect and the hash browns were exceptional. The only thing better than the food was the service. Kelly was very personable as well as professional. Thank you Kelly you're very kind. Worth the trip from Cole Harbour

I have visited Sugarbush several times in the summer and have never been able to try Chez Henri before. I changed that on a recent trip and I was glad I did. The best French food I have had since I was in Lyon.

We walked in and the restaurant rejected to serve us while there are plenty of empty spaces

From the moment Bernard answered the phone I had high expectations. A real Frenchman and a classic French restaurant in Warren? Oui!!The food and wine is spectacular- worthy of a return trip. If you’re lucky enough to get it. This is a must do if you’re skiing Sugarbush. PS the wine selection is really good and so are the prices.

This is a must try. Skip the crowd at the mountain and ski in here instead. Try the escargot and the cheese fondue.
