Elena offre une expérience italienne vivante et accueillante, avec un menu apprécié pour ses pizzas et ses pâtes, ainsi que des salades fraîches et du bon pain, tandis que la carte des vins et les desserts plaisent souvent; l'atmosphère oscille entre animée et bruyante lorsque le restaurant est plein et intime lorsque l'activité se calme, et certains repas signalent un rythme de service inégal, des temps d'attente plus longs et des prix élevés pour les portions, même si beaucoup décrivent Elena comme l'un des meilleurs endroits pour la pizza et les salades à Montréal.
Had a quick bite over the weekend at the cafe as we didn't have a reservation & let me tell you that the service & the food were beyond worth it despite how busy it was. Super quick as we were headed to a show & super friendly despite the customization we have asked for. The food was fresh & yummy. Highly recommend for a date or even as group.

this is a very nice restaurant with great food. Menu is very small font , which I don't usually mind, but sitting at the bar where there is dim to no light, you are recommended by the staff to use your phone light to read it. It takes time at an empty bar to get the attention of the waiting staff, but when they notice you , are very polite. I would love to visit again to take a final decision if my review stays the same. I had heard a lot about this restaurant so I hope this would be different next time.
Pleasant night out in a vibrant eatery. The service was top notch - multiple staff attentive to our table & needs, prompt without feeling rushed. The food was very tasty. The kale salad & malfada pasta were the highlights. Recommend sharing a variety of dishes among your table rather than everyone on their own menu, as the menu & service is perfected for this communal experience.
Great vibe & atmosphere- service was great - recommended dishes & wine for us to enjoy - pizza was good & pasta was tasty although vongole was very light on clams - would recommend pizza over pasta

Great place for pizza & drinks. Food: delicious variety of Italian pizza, with a few unique twists. The chocolate cake dessert was surprisingly scrumptious. Drinks: well prepared. Presentation is top. Great selection of wine too Atmosphere: cozy, romantic, & touch of rustic. Service: all staff were very attentive, respectful, & professional. Excellent service Will come back for sure. Did not wait long to be seated without a reservation but recommend reserving
Great Italian restaurant for both dine in & take out. Everything from the appetizers, pizzas & pastas were delicious. The staff was also very friendly & accommodated different dietary requirements such as pregnancy & vegeterian. The administration was also very kind to help us with group booking with reasonably priced set menu. They also accommodated by my newborn infant of 5 month in stroller. Highly recommend !
Elan is a wonderful restaurant that has come highly recommended for some time now, & I'm happy that it lives up to the hype. Great food with excellent service in a warm & comfy atmosphere. They easily make the best cannoli in Montreal, their pizza is great, & they have a good & diverse wine list. Their full bodied red called "Pacina" was absolutely spectacular! The Panzanella salad was also delicious, but unfortunately its croutons had an odd gummy texture. Nevertheless, we had a great time throughout our meal, but when we ordered dessert our cappuccino never arrived & so we had to cancel it. Needless to say, it's not fun to eat your dessert without coffee. Otherwise, Elena well worth the visit.

Delicious Pizza, great service & ambiance! We tried the M. Funguy,The rossa with Anchois, & a Marguerita pizza, along with a verde & kale cesar salad! (I would definetly recommend this kale cesar, soo delicious, & same for the M.Funguy, my favorite). The Pistachio Gelato was incredible, & likewise for the coffeee we took at the end.Excellent Service, & nice location!(Easy parking!)
It's a hidden gem in the suburbs of Montreal!! Everything we got was amazing.. kale Cesar salad, pasta & pizza!! I wish I could have eaten more but I was already so full.. haha! Service was also perfect.. we did not feel like it was too fast, but had ample time to enjoy our meals without the waitress rushing us. We sat outside, its cute. Personally because I'm pregnant, I was hot. Next time will sit inside. I HIGHLY recommend this place. We enjoyed it so much we'd like to come back again tomorrow!!
Amazing service & atmosphere. We split a pizza & a pasta & both were delicious. Our waitress was a highlight & was happy to recommend a wine & talk about the new things that just came in. Highly recommend for a cool date night
Nourriture excellente, tout était délicieux! Le service était étrange & intrusif, on interrompait maladroitement des conversation ou remplissait des verres d'eau avec très peu de subtilité. L'endroit est rapidement devenu bruyant. On nous a servi en anglais malgré qu'on répondait en français. Confusion sur le menu de groupe. Par contre on a fait attention aux allergies, c'était apprécié! Bien pour y aller avec 2-3 personnes, je ne recommanderais pas pour les groupes. La formule groupe à 65$ était un peu chère, mais nous avons eu beaucoup de nourriture (même trop!).

We came in from out of town to check Elena out & were not disappointed. Food was amazing & well thought out. Recommend the house made (?) cheese where available, the kale Ceasar & of course the pizza. Service tipped the scales for us, though. As restaurant industry folks ourselves we appreciated Lucas' recommendations, attentiveness, & thorough knowledge of the menu. The wine list is comprehensive, & Lucas truly knew the ins & outs. He also provided us with recommendations to best enjoy our visit to Montreal. 10/10
I rarely give places 5 stars. But everything at Elena's was great! The food was amazing, the service was great (very friendly staff) & a great overall ambience. Would definitely recommend
Food was excellent & very tasty I feel that service wasn't to the level I would expect coming from this place. Don't get me wrong, I have heard only good things about Elena. But at a certain moment, they took our unfinished plates & went immediately to the next service. Also sometimes, we were waiting for a long period of time for the waitress to come see us but I guess that it might have been a busy night & want to give the benefit of the doubt. I would still strongly recommend this place 😉
Really delicious dinner & lovely service. I thoroughly enjoyed the fungi pizza which had a generous mix of mushrooms. The crust in general was just spectacular- hot, light, & fluffy. The salads were also overflowing & the kale cesare specifically had a nice tart punch. The roasted beet dish had a nuance that was elevated by the sesame nut mix sprinkled on top. We ended the night with a beautifully dark chocolate tart. I would recommend Elena to anyone in the area.
