We had the tasting menu & a bottle of vinho verde. Food was delicious & the restaurant was very accommodating for our family (we dined with our two kids). Everyone was very helpful & friendly. We'd go back again, but with all of that said we felt that the food was not 100% authentic Portuguese (my wife lived in Portugal for many years).

Excellent, cuisson parfaite des poissons ! & bravo au sommelier qui avait plus que du répondant. Une étoile au Michelin ne serait pas de trop.

I came here with my parents while they were in town & wow! It was a phenomenal experience. Our waitress gave us excellent recommendations for starters. I need to know what the chef put in the dressing because the asparagus salad was delicious. & the octopus was incredible!!! All of the sea food was incredibly fresh & the flavors were super well balanced. My fish came with a sweet potato purée which was almost velvet-y it was so smooth. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

It is not only about the mouthwatwring menu but about something you can't produce without the love & commitment for doing what you do. We all felt the people from reception to service & cuisine were intended on delivering the best possible time for their guests. Nothing loud, just strivi g for excellence. I haven't seen that kind of attention in a long time. Bravo à l'équipe de Helena. Hope to come again soon.
