Unwind in Montreal: Happy Hour at Restaurant h3

A getaway to Montreal always means a busy day. You might spend hours walking through Old Montreal, wandering the galleries, or hopping between stylish boutiques. By 5 p.m., the city’s energy is still high, but your personal energy might be starting to dip. You need a transition, a moment to reset before dinner and a full evening out.

That perfect moment of calm relaxation is exactly what Restaurant h3 at the Humaniti Hotel Montreal, Autograph Collection, has perfected with its happy hour.

h3’s happy hour is tailored for winding down in style. It runs from Tuesday to Saturday, giving you plenty of chances to stop by between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. This is an ideal two-hour window to switch gears, whether you are unwinding after a business meeting or simply pausing after a long day of sightseeing.

The best part is the simplicity and quality. They offer a curated selection of wine by the glass and draft beer, all priced attractively at $9.

You don’t have to overthink your choice. Their selection rotates but maintains a high standard. You can relax with a glass of the featured white, like the Vin de France Appel d’air, or maybe a glass of the IGT Toscane red. If you prefer a crisp Rosé, the Côteaux d’Aix en Provence En caractère is available. For beer lovers, a refreshing draft Sapporo pale lager is also included. It’s an effortless way to enjoy a great drink.

While the drinks are the focus, the menu of snacks is small but designed to impress. These aren’t big, heavy appetizers; they are refined little bites that pair beautifully with a glass of wine.

You could try the petite Lobster Tartlets from Gaspésie, brightened with mango, wasabi, and mint. Perhaps you’d prefer three fresh Oysters of the Day, served with a delicate raspberry vinegar and lemon mignonette. For something warm, the menu offers a Seared Scallop presented right on the shell with ginger and zucchini, or some tender Wagyu Beef prepared yakitori style on the hibachi grill. And for classic comfort, you can never go wrong with their Hand-Cut Fries and truffle mayonnaise.

Next time your Montreal getaway hits that 5 p.m. mark, make your way to h3. Grab a seat, order a $9 glass, and let the conversation flow. It’s the perfect way to recharge and savour your time in the city.
