Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre expérience au Helena, tous les plats étaient délicieux, notamment la pieuvre & le loup de mer. Nous étions sur la terrasse qui était presque vide cette soirée, toutefois le restaurant était plein à l'intérieur.

Le service était bien pendant le repas, par contre nous avons remarqué en regardant la facture plutôt salée en rentrant à la maison que le serveur nous a chargé plus que le prix affiché pour plusieurs plats... Ce n'est pas tant que le prix que le principe qui dérange. Le loup de mer était affiché à 50$ & on nous a chargé 60$, on nous avait dit 30$ pour des verres de porto, & on nous en a chargé 45$ chacun. Un petit'supplément' de 40$ avant taxes & pourboires refilé discrètement au client, alors qu'on faisait confiance à notre serveur. Regardez votre facture avant de payer.

Mais sinon pour la qualité des plats, Helena est un incontournable à Montréal, nous y retournerions sans hésiter pour bien manger, mais regarderons l'addition la prochaine fois...

My partner & I tried Helena last night & enjoyed the 6 course tasting menu. I was in Portugal last summer & have been craving authentic Portuguese food, & this restaurant filled that void not Only was the food delicious, but the staff was also very helpful. The only reason I gave service a 4 to 5 is because at the beginning, we did have to wait quite some time for a server to take our order. The caldo verde tasted exactly like I was back in Portugal!

J'ai invité mon père ici pour son anniversaire. J'ai essayé le menu dégustation poisson & viande, c'était une expérience culinaire absolument exquise & transcendante. Étant une foodie, ça vaut le détour & le budget!

They're were 3 choices for business business menu here on this Thursday. I asked the waiter if the grilled sardines are from frozen or fresh stock & he didn't give an answer. So I concluded that they must be frozen.
The pire pire chicken did have a good taste but not completely cooked, probably because they had not been at room temperature when put in the oven. We decided to go to another place to have our dessert.
