What People Are Saying About M. Henry

Despite spacey names like "vegan epiphany" and "mango bliss cakes," the inviting fare is down-to-earth and, for the most part, delicious. Lunch offers tempting options, but brunch is the real reason to visit: Crème caramel sauce oozes between slices of dulce banana rumba French toast, and granola-crusted pancakes come layered with warm blackberries and vanilla mascarpone cream. On the savory side, there's Florentine crab cake benedict and Fannie's killer fried-egg sandwich, all served with zesty house potatoes. Exposed brick and pastel green walls blend with vintage library chairs and…

One of the best breakfest/brunch spots in town!

Great, creative dishes; vegetarian friendly; nice and stylish, yet not pretentious, atmosphere; healthy and fresh food; and good service. I love this place and so has everyone that I have brought there!
- Pros: Food, service, atmosphere
- Cons: Long wait on weekends (sometimes)

Unique Chicago brunch spot
by JenniferCathleen at Citysearch
M Henry is by far my favorite place to grab Saturday brunch with my husband or friends. We love it! It's also a great, unique place to take out-of-town guests. I eat very little meat, so M Henry offers many interesting, healthful vegetarian options, but there are plenty of dishes to satisfy meat eaters as well. You can't always find that balance and both types of food be delicious, but M Henry is up to the challenge! My favorite dish is black-bean cakes and eggs, but I am always tempted by the breakfast bread pudding, blackberry bliss pancakes, and whatever special they have that day. Their coffee is very flavorful with unlimited free refills. They also have a full-service bakery with breads, cookies, pastries, and tarts to tempt you on your way in and out.

Love Love Love! Best Brunch in the City!!!
by lilboyblu at Citysearch
I'm totally the type of person who finds a place and sticks with it religiously, so when someone suggested M Henry for brunch, it was hard departing from my favorite Wicker Park breakfast spot. Wow, I'm glad I did! M Henry SMELLS like home cooking when you walk through the entrance, and normally a crowd and a wait would annoy me, I found it somewhat fun to people watch all of the restaurants' customers. The wait staff was great, as well as the host. I immediately felt very comfortable. I ordered the Quiche (which comes with a side salad, as well as fresh fruit) and was NOT disappointed. The Quiche was so amazingly tasty and fresh, I couldn't get enough... I'm also the type of person who loves a little "sweet" with his savory, so I ordered a "half order" (you can do that if you don't want a full one) of the Blackberry Blisscakes. Yum. Pure decadence in my mouth! I then went back AGAIN with friends and got the quiche (again) with the Sweet Potato Pancakes... YUM YUM YUM!!! This is my NEW Sunday brunch favorite!
- Pros: Brunch, Food, Staff
- Cons: expect a 20-30 minute wait on the weekends for Brunch... it's well worth it though!
