Best Portuguese cuisine in Montreal, hands down. Chef Helena's creations are not only delicious but beautifully presented. Each plate is like a work of art. We enjoyed the tasting menu with wine pairings, & every course was exceptional, from the fresh seafood to the tender meats, with flavors that were both authentic & creative.

The service was warm, attentive, & knowledgeable, which made the evening even more enjoyable. The staff explained each pairing & shared details about the dishes, showing real passion for the food & wines.

The ambiance is refined yet welcoming. Helena is perfect for a special night out or celebrating a milestone. Portions were generous for a tasting menu, & the pacing was excellent, giving us time to savor every bite.

We left feeling that Helena offers not just a meal, but a true culinary experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking fine dining in Montreal, especially lovers of Portuguese cuisine. We'll definitely be returning!

What an amazing experience! I went with my family, & we were all blown away by the quality of the food, the service...everything. The sommelier recommended the perfect wine pairing, the dishes were nothing short of exceptional, & the service (thank you Ariane & team!) was truly second to none. Oh & the restaurant itself is beautiful. I highly recommended for a special occasion!

En vacances à Montréal, j'ai découvert ce superbe restaurant, la décoration traditionnelle portugaise est magnifique. Nous avons adoré les plats, bien présentés & délicieux, nous avons adoré le pétoncle au foie gras & le poulpe grillé. Aussi nous avons pris des accras qui était excellents, on se croyait au Portugal (je suis portugaise). La viande de boeuf était tendre comme du beurre. Les serveuses étaient au petit soin pour nous, d'une grande gentillesse. Je recommande ce restaurant.

Dining at Helena was a memorable experience from start to finish.

The service was attentive & knowledgeable, with the menu thoughtfully explained & filled with carefully curated dishes. We began with a warm serving of bread accompanied by a trio of olive butter, olive oil, & chorizo butter, a perfect introduction. The cod fritters followed, & they were among the best I've ever had, crispy, flavorful, & incredibly satisfying. For the main course, we opted for two cod dishes, with the black cod emerging as the undeniable standout of the evening.

The prices matched the quality of the food, & the cocktails were just as refined, balanced, creative, & beautifully presented. To end the meal, we indulged in a pastel de nata that was easily one of the finest I've tasted.

Helena is a restaurant that delivers on every level. Highly recommended for a special evening out.

Our group recently had the pleasure of dining at Helena in Old Montreal, & it was an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. What truly set Helena apart was the impeccable service. The staff were incredibly attentive, welcoming, & remarkably flexible with our various requests, making us feel completely catered to throughout the evening.

The food itself was a highlight. Every dish showcased super fresh ingredients, & the seasoning was simply perfect - enhancing the natural flavors without overpowering them. A must try is the Octopus or the seasonal Asparagus (or both).

If you're looking for a restaurant in Montreal that combines exceptional, accommodating service with delicious, fresh, & perfectly seasoned food, Helena is an absolute must-try. We all left thoroughly impressed & wholeheartedly recommend it! We'll definitely be back.
