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!

We had an absolutely fantastic dinner at Helena last night. We started with the'Lulas & Camarao Grelhado Huge' as an appetizer &, on recommendation from our waiter Michelle, we also ordered their bread, which was a perfect pairing for soaking up all the deliciousness.

For our main course, we had the'Lulas & Camarao Grelhado' & the'Arroz com Trufas.' Another home run, paired with a fantastic wine selected by Michelle.

We finished the evening by sharing Helena's Chocolate Bites. It was an all-around perfect evening, made even better by the outstanding staff, both front & back of house.

Helena, paired with Michelle, was the perfect end to a wonderful first day exploring the city.

I find it hard to suggest an outstanding 5 star review for any fine dining establishment as there always seems to be something missing to deserve such a strong accolade. Our experience at Helena's for a key industry retirement dinner couldn't have been at a better place. Michelle looked after us for the evening & did an absolutely beautiful job suggesting dishes & meeting our needs. The food was exquisite & the wine selection perfect. Helena's definitely is in our top 5 restaurants Coast to Coast. Thank you for such a great night....we'll be back for sure!
best regards

A beautiful & stylish Portuguese restaurant! The black cod was absolutely delicious, & the churros melted in my mouth. I also loved the rich taste of the red wine'Dona Maria' .. it was the perfect pairing for me. I'll definitely be coming back!

Was there on a lovely date, late Friday march 28 2025 evening, had a charming experience with hardly anyone in restaurant making it very pleasant & relaxing, waitress was friendly, polite & nice with us, I think her name was Michelle, food was excellent , we drank porto wine together & had a great time. Since it was my first time in Montreal, this restaurant indeed contributed to one of many memorable moments there for a weekend

An AMAZING place. Great food & service. They are very knowledgeable about the wines & what pairs well with their food. The grilled octopus is a must have.

We tagged along with a friend & his wife, who are regulars at this highly acclaimed fine-dining Portuguese eatery. The decor features modern elements & classic Portuguese charm; I was particularly captivated by the stunning ceiling. My friend's wife gave "carte blanche" to the waiter to bring a selection of dishes for us to share, & he brought a few items from the Tapas Quentes: Pasteis de Bacalhau, Sardinhas Assadas, & Lulas Grelhadas. The sommelier paired a privately imported white wine with these tapas, a perfect match. Then, we were served Sela de Borrego along with the catch of the day, accompanied by another bottle of white wine harmoniously paired. Though I'm usually not a fan of white wine, I found myself thoroughly enjoying it, I drank my share & my wife's share. While some nice desserts were offered, I was too satiated to have any. Just before we left, a waitress came with a complimentary Porto. I surely found room for that. The service was top-notch, with multiple servers attending to our table, & the food was phenomenal. The bill was quite steep at the end of the night, but it was one of the most memorable meals we've had in a long time.

Very good dinner & service. We shared the asparagus salad, & seafood plate for 2 & they were both excellent. Good wine list, & my girlfriend enjoyed her cocktail as well.

Inventive, high-end take on Portuguese food. Beautifully presented. A robust wine list to pair with the scrumptious offerings.
