Chez Henri Description:
French dishes with a Cuban twist, in a lively bistro atmosphere. Located between Harvard and Porter Squares.
Street parking is limited, and can be very difficult to find in this area.
Chez Henri has long been content to remain on the fringes both geographically and culinarily. Located just beyond Harvard Square, its chef-owner Paul O'Connell has admirably eschewed the chef-as-hotshot role to take the chef-as-anthropologist approach, strengthening cultural ties where so many foolishly fray them. His carefully constructed menu partners the deep, evocative flavors of French country cooking with the multi-cultural spunk of Central and Latin American cuisine, be it squash bisque with tonka bean crème fraîche or coriander-seared scallops with crab-stuffed Anaheim peppers en croûte. Still, regulars tend to stick to the dark, moody barroom---where the cocktails are well (and potently) crafted, and the city's best (and most ballyhooed) Cuban sandwiches rule the day; duck tamales also go down spicily.
