Henry's Restaurant

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Restaurant & Wine Bar on Queen West

Henry's sits at 922 Queen St. W. in Toronto's west end, operating as both a full-service restaurant and a wine bar with a shop next door. The concept is straightforward and confident: ingredient-driven, globally inspired dishes that shift with the seasons, paired with a wine list that Wine Spectator recognized with its Best of Award of Excellence for 2025 — a distinction that speaks to both the depth and the curation behind the bottle selection.

Seasonal Cooking, Seriously Considered

The kitchen's philosophy centers on what the season offers at its best. The menu evolves continuously, keeping the focus on produce and sourcing rather than fixed signatures. This approach to seasonal cuisine means the experience changes with each visit, shaped by what's available and what's compelling at any given moment. The global inspiration woven through the dishes gives the cooking range without losing coherence — familiar techniques applied to ingredients from wherever they happen to be at their peak.

A Wine Program Worth the Trip Alone

The wine list at Henry's is described by the restaurant itself as "extensive, classic, thoughtful and full of unique finds" — and the Wine Spectator recognition backs that up. For guests who want to take something home, the wine shop next door carries bottles from the list alongside rarer finds that won't turn up elsewhere in the city. The shop runs its own hours through the week, making it a destination independent of a dinner reservation.

Private Dining and the Great Room

Henry's has built out two distinct private spaces. The wine shop itself hosts smaller dinners and tastings, while a larger great room below the main restaurant accommodates seated groups of up to 30. Both options lean into the same atmosphere as the main dining room — intimate, wine-forward, and suited to an occasion that calls for something more considered than a standard restaurant buyout.

Brunch on the Weekend

Beyond the Tuesday-through-Saturday dinner service, Henry's opens for brunch on Saturday and Sunday mornings, rounding out the week with the same seasonal sensibility applied to the earlier part of the day.
