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!
My family & I had an incredible experience at Helena. The Portuguese food was amongst the best we've ever had! Elevated yet true to the traditional preparation & flavors. We loved the Caldo Verde, the Bacalhau a Gomes-sa & petiscos were all fantastic. One thing we've never had before was the choriço butter - amazing!
Well done. & a special thank you to Sara O for the service & recommendations.
1- Decoration 10/10 very nice place with space & modern with a touch of Portuguese vibe.
2- Ambiance 9/10 very nice ambiance not to loud.. good for party of 4 or 6 of for a romantic date. I don't think it's ideal for big party birthday more intimate.
3- food 10/10 very good food & taste. If your a fan of Portuguese this is the place to go. Mediterranean food & healthy.

Went here for a birthday dinner. It was my pick because I love Portuguese food & often make some of the dishes at home.
The food & service were outstanding. It is tapas style so we ordered several dishes to share, wine, & dessert. Every dish came out so well plated, down to the smallest detail. The octopus was pure perfection & the port wine tasting on the dessert menu is not to be missed. The caldo verde soup is one of my favoritea to make at home & did not disappoint.
The interior was authentic Portugal & interesting. The service was so well timed that it felt choreographed. I can't wait to come back.
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!
I was craving Portuguese & it just so happened that several other well-known Portuguese restaurants in Little Portugal were closed for summer vacations - advantage Helena!
This restaurant deserves a Michelin star. Full stop.
The food was divine, the service impeccable, the atmosphere & ambiance exquisite. We enjoyed two of the three course tasting meals, which was really more of a six course meal. It was worth every penny. The octopus, which I generally don't eat because they're too smart & most people don't get it right, was absolutely extraordinary. I could see chef Helena working with her crew, & you could tell nothing but the very best was expected. It shows. Having recently enjoyed a meal at a Michelin starred restaurant in Kyoto, I think Helena is well on its way to scoring one for themselves. I will definitely return, I honestly can't wait. The restaurant is gorgeous, I enjoyed sitting in the front, but next time I'm looking forward to enjoying the sumptuous decor of the back. Ask to be seated there. This is a very elegant & classy restaurant, fun to dress up for. & the'Portuguese Negroni' was exceptionally smooth, matched only by the selection of Tawny ports.
Every dish, from the amuses-bouches to the dessert, was pure perfection: artistically plated, cooked & seasoned to perfection, presented with utmost care & respect.
As a journalist who focuses on politics & environmental issues, I don't often get to write restaurant reviews, but I'll make an exception for Helena. I would give them 6, 7, or 10 stars if I could.
Great Portuguese restaurant with tasty & fresh food. Overpriced at 100+$ per person for high quality but classic dishes at 1/3 the price in Portugal. Paying for bread? Is it necessary? Service is nice & efficient, but not at level of what is expected for top rated restaurant.
