 Chez Henri Restaurant Review: 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. |
