Chez Henri-Warren, Vermont

Chez Henri is a French restaurant in Warren, Vermont. Inside the restaurant is a theme of how to make Vermont Maple Syrup with painted murals of old-fashioned people carrying big barrels of sugar maple sap.

At Chez Henri there is a regular dining room and a nice dining room. Even though you don’t have to dress up, a lot of people do. The tables have a tablecloth on every table and the seats are padded and comfortable. There are candles, flowers, menu books, place setting, and sugar on every table. There are no windows except for one in the front of the restaurant with the view of the ski mountain where you can see Snow Cats grooming the mountain. The mellow music soothes the mind. Don’t miss the fireplace in the middle of the regular restaurant and the mirror right next to it.

The food at Chez Henri is to die for. If it’s a hot summer day you can get a nice fizzy Coke or a sparkling Pellegrino. For some appetizers you can get a juicy stuffed mushroom or a long, slender breadstick right out of the oven. For some salads you can get fresh crispy Romaine salad with Roquefort dressing or you can get a Caesar Salad with Caesar dressing.

The entrees are amazing. Try the lemony Escargot, cheesy Cheese Fondue, and delicious Beef Fondue. The server brings a pot with oil in it and lights the flame. Take your fondue fork and cook your own tender beef. For the Cheese Fondue, there are thick cubes of heavily baked bread to dip in cheese. For dessert you can get Chocolate Fondue or exploding lava cakes with brownies on the top.

As soon as you walk in the door a host or hostess greets you and leads you to your table where you are handed a menu. The servers wear snow-white shirts and jet-black pants and always remembers what each person ordered. Even though they make you wait ten minutes for your order, the food is very rewarding.

If you like French food, Chez Henri is the place to go where everything is just perfect. From the escargot to the delicious lava cake, nothing can be better than Chez Henri.
