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.View more

Très bon restaurant. Les plats portugais sont vrais. Les croquettes, les pasteis de nata....excellents ! 3 salles dans le restaurant, ce qui en fait un grand restaurant mais avec une parcellisation permettant des coins & recoins plus intimistes. Je recommande!View more

Incredibly attentive & friendly staff & the most excellent meal you will have in a while! Everything was outstanding. I had the gazpacho to start & the Alaskan black cod followed. It was so delicate surrounded by a silky sweet potato mash that was so delectable that I wiped my plate down with some bits of bread to not leave anything behind. It was phenomenal. Bravo!View more

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.View more

Tout d'abord, le service était excellent & attentionné. Les vins servis nous ont plu ainsi que le succulent porto 30 ans. Les desserts nous ont aussi ravis. Point faible: les assiettes sont trop souvent servies tièdes. & ce, encore ce samedi & malgré le fait que je l'avais mentionné à la serveuse. C'est la froideur des plats qui gâche le plaisir. La dernière fois que nous y étions allés, j'avais retourné mon assiette & mon mari avait mangé seul. Ce samedi, nous étions quatre convives. Mon mari & moi avons commandé la morue & nos amis ont partagé un poisson entier, coupé & arrangé directement à la table. Nos assiettes sont arrivées en premier, plutôt tièdes mais comme nous avons dû attendre que nos amis soient servis, j'ai encore mangé froid. Il serait sage que le cérémonial de la découpe soit exécuté avant de servir les assiettes individuelles & non l'inverse. Je soupçonne aussi que les légumes soient préparés à l'avance & qu'ils attendent dans l'assiette déjà montée que la morue soit cuite. Ce qui fait que les accompagnements sont servis tièdes presque froids. On y retournera car nous aimons bien ce restaurant & y allons régulièrement mais si nos plats sont encore servis froids, ce sera notre dernière visite chez Helena. Après tout, un repas pour quatre personnes à plus de 800$, on peut exiger de manger chaud.View more
