Faîtes attention, le pourboire est calculé après les taxes. C'est toujours un peu désolant comme surprise après un bon moment.

Has a great experience dining at Elena for the first time. We ordered a peach & stracciatella appetizer, the red wine pasta, & the Dany pizza & everything was incredible. Wine & service were excellent too

Elena is hands down the best restaurant in Montréal. When I moved back from Italy, I was craving real Italian food & nothing compared… until I found this place. It's the ONLY spot in the city that tastes truly authentic, just like in Italy.

Every dish is consistently delicious, the prices are super reasonable, & the staff are always so sweet & attentive. The décor feels chill & low-key, & if you pay attention you realize how beautiful it actually is. In the summer, the terrace & the park behind the restaurant make it even more special. So cozy! Even the music is always cool too.

Make sure to try the:
Suppli, bread with olive oil, meatballs, mafalda al ragu, agnolotti if you get the chance, margherita pizza & kale salad.

I've been coming here for 6 years straight & it never disappoints. Always my #1 pick in Montréal! Best restaurant ever.

Lovely place, great food! We tried 3 different pizzas & pasta with chanterelles, all absolutely delicious 😋 One thing that can be improved: food menu is written in such tiny font, that older people in our group had hard time reading it, please make it bigger.
Will be back for sure.
