One of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. My partner & I came up from Toronto for the night, for my birthday, & I'm so happy this was the place we chose. The food was exceptional; it's clear that a lot of thought & care went into the dishes. Every dish we had was better than the last, beautifully presented & crafted. The service was impeccable, with the servers & bartenders being attentive & conversational, but never in an intrusive way. The staff were friendly & kind, & clearly passionate about the food they served. My partner & I both work in restaurants & we were seriously impressed. It's a travesty l'helicoptere didn't make it to the Michelin list; they deserve it. Regardless, everyone there should be extremely proud of what they're doing. Absolute must try for anyone in Montreal, looking for an exceptional dining experience.View more

Great dining experience! We went for lunch & ordered à la carte. Be prepared to order more plates than you'd think. The dishes are small but full of flavor. We ordered the challah bread, the sourdough, the oyster mushrooms, & the beef tartare (first photo). In the second photo, we had the scallops & the guinea fowl. I would happily reorder everything. Next time, I'd get the tasting menu because I now know all the items on the menu are reliably excellent.View more

Came here for dinner & had their tasting menu. I was impressed by the quality, taste & creativity of these dishes. Loved the mussel starter. The oyster mushroom was to die for. I had mixed feelings about the trout since the different sauces felt a little confusing & didn't really go well when mixed together, however, each component was executed well. The duck was very flavourful & had extra bread to soak up the sauce. Parsnip dessert was very creative & delicious. I enjoyed the texture & balance of this dish. Bonus points for the fact that it wasn't too sweet.View more

We came up from Ottawa to Montreal to celebrate our 2-year anniversary, & after seeing so many great recommendations, we decided to try this restaurant. It was truly an unforgettable experience! Even though we're not drinking alcohol right now, we still love fun, creative drinks. The bartender went above & beyond, crafting a special drink that paired perfectly with one of our dishes. Every member of the staff was incredibly friendly & brought so much fun energy to the night-it made the whole experience even more memorable. At the end of our meal, they surprised us with some mocktail shots, & we all shared a toast together! The food was out of this world-each dish was bursting with flavor. We couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate. Highly recommend!View more

The best dinner I've ever had. Every single thing we had was perfect, we got to sit at the bar & have a great chat with our bartender! He made us amazing cocktails & surprises us with two amazing dishes as well! Will visit again when in Montreal 🩷View more

Thoughtful attention to detail from food to service. I appreciated that very much. We were a group of 3 & had the tasting menu. We were served some of the dishes as one single serving & one shared serving for the two of us sitting on one side of the table. I thought that was weird....either serve three separate plates or one plate to be shared by all of us. My favorite was the mushroom & bread dish. My least favorite was the bitter lima bean plate. I would come again but probably order off the menu as opposed to the tasting menu.View more

We did the tasting menu with the wine pairing at the bar. The bartender was absolutely amazing. I wish I got his name to give him a shout out. The tasting menu was excellent. I liked that some of the dishes are for each person, & some come out like a little platter to share. The guinea fowl was so good! I loved the piklis on the tartare. Unique touch. Everything had bold flavors, & they care about using the whole animal or vegetable. Also you can't go wrong when there are tiny dinosaurs to play with lolView more

Amazing night at hélicoptère! Our server was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, & nice. The food was outstanding. We opted not to go for the tasting menu as there some things a la carte that we were more interested in & we were glad we did. Out of the 6 dishes we ordered (for two) there's only one I wouldn't reorder & simply out of preference. The menu is seasonal so recommendations will not last the rest of time however their oyster/pleurotte dish is a mainstay & is absolutely worth it. We were absolutely stuffed by the end of the meal, & we felt it was definitely worth the price! When you visit don't hesitate to ask your waiter questions they are super knowledgeable & super go out of their way to make your evening enjoyableView more

Helicopter soars on inventive dishes hovering over the freshest seasonal ingredients & local artisans. The 9 course tasting menu is the best way to sample the prowess of the kitchen, although there could be some misses (ie charred rapini was overly bitter) in the bunch. But most shine, notably their signature roasted mushrooms with buttery croutons on a house smoked feta smear. & while the bread might seem like a side-show, it deserves a spotlight coming from the sourdough masters at sister bakery Aube.View more

World class tasting menu. I'm not easily blown away but Hélicoptère continues to impress on every visit. Dishes that are delicious but also reflect great ideas with playful but excellent serviceView more

The staff are super friendly, food & portion are good for the price. One thing I don't understand is why make most dishes sharing plates. It is confusing & honestly compromise the experience. We had a big table, sharing dishes makes it weird & we had to reach out for food or push the plates around. The portion is ok for small plate single dish, we'd much prefer if we could have food in our own plates.View more

I came here with some friends recently & enjoyed a great meal filled with food made by a clearly talented chef. While the dishes were on the smaller side, as is usually the case with French/fine cuisine, each dish packed a punch of flavors leaving me curious for more. We tried the tasting menu as this was our first time, it provided a great array of different dishes & we were definitely looking to come back & try some of the other dishes. The black cod, the duck & the mushroom dish were my favorites. I removed one star because of the service. Our reservation was at 9, so probably one of the last services of the evening. When the waiter took our order, he informed us that two us the items from the tasting menu were sold out & that they would substitute it with other things. I asked if I could order the tasting menu in addition to other dishes & he really stood his ground in saying that the tasting menu was a lot & ordering more was ambitious. He did mention that if we were still hungry agrees that we could simply order more. Low & behold, when the last course before dessert came, we were still hungry & still very curious to try what else the menu had to offer. We asked to get the menu & the waiter seemed a bit struck. He asked us to wait while he asked the chef if the kitchen was still open & returned shortly to tell us that if we placed the orders now, they could be fulfilled. But now, what happened was that a lot more of the menu was sold out. In the end, 6 menu items were not available. So while this was not exactly the waiters fault (but I guess he could have listened to our original order & not tell me that I'm ambitious if wanted more than the tasting menu), I don't understand why the restaurant would take reservations at a time where by the middle of the meal, half the menu items would run out. It just felt like we got screwed by getting a late reservation. For such a restaurant of high estime, every seating should be serviced at the same caliber. I digress. The food was good & I was happy I got to come here.View more

Great experience & exquisite dishes! My BF & I got the set menu with was 75$ each & included 8 small courses. Every dish was fantastic & I got to experience combination of flavours I've never tried before. My favourites dishes were the mushrooms & the buckwheat ice cream. The only downside is that I wish for the main course they served us each a small plate of the beef instead of having to share since the portion was quite small. Overall, great experience & would come back again!View more

Service is fantastic, everyone was very friendly, ambiance is a great date night, the food was good but expected more with the reviews being 4.8 We had the tasting menu for two which is $75 each. Simple, clear flavors that lets the ingredients speak for itself, but nothing really wow'd us as the headliner or that we would want to come back for. The portions also could be bigger for value The first four dishes all came at once & within 10 mins of ordering which makes me think the food was already cooked - bread & butter: a quarter slice each? Butter was just butter - beef tartare: favorite, get this, really good & the mole sauce was great - mushrooms & trout were simple flavours - agnolotti came with three pieces each which seemed small: wanted more! - beef with brisket: a couple of slices of steak with two pieces of brisket. Was supposed to be the main headliner but nothing special The food is good but had higher expectations in flavours & value. Given the tasting menu was essentially everything on the regular menu, not sure if we would come backView more

Excellent restaurant. The food was incredible. The oyster mushrooms are a must (if you're hungry, consider getting two orders if you're in a group of two-you won't want to share it!), but everything was great. The flavors are fresh & the dishes are creative but not overly contrived. The food is mostly small plates & we never felt rushed. One or two dishes would come out together, & we had a small break in between. & when two dishes came out at once, they made sure they paired well with each other. The cocktails were unique & made with care. & the service was among the best I've ever had. We sat at the bar & the bartender explained nearly every item on the menu to us.View more
