Review Summary

Hélicoptère earns high marks for inventive, seasonally changing menus that showcase local ingredients and a tasting menu that many find superb, with reviewers praising the attentive, friendly service and the refined, intimate atmosphere backed by a strong bar program and wine list that complement the dishes and cocktails. The kitchen delivers beautifully plated, creative flavors with standout items such as tartare, seafood, and vegetable-forward plates, and it is noted for accommodating dietary restrictions, though a few critiques mention portions that can feel small for the price or occasional dishes that are underseasoned or overcooked. Ambience is described as versatile, ranging from cozy bar seating to a brighter dining room, with some comments about acoustics when the room is full and others about lighting that can feel too stark at times. Overall, this is regarded as one of Montreal’s leading gastronomic experiences for a memorable occasion, offering thoughtful presentation, evolving menus, and exemplary service, while a minority questions the value compared with similar high-end options.

Cela fait maintenant quatre fois que je visite Hélicoptère &, à chaque fois, je suis enchantée. Un excellent service, des plats bien pensés & exécutés, beaucoup de saveurs & une belle ambiance!
Les plats ne sont pas gros, donc il ne faut pas s'attendre à de grandes portions, mais le goût vaut le détour!

The food here is incredible. Whether you go with the well-priced tasting menu or choose your own combination of à la carte options, you can't go wrong - the food is fresh & local, the dishes are creative, overall the meal is well worth the price. Combined with the quaint but lively atmosphere, this place is sure to please.

That said, it's the service that makes this place really shine. We were fortunate enough to have Cedric as both our server & bartender, & it was easily the best service we had during our stay in Montreal. He really made the meal that much more special.

In short, if you're even thinking about going to Helicoptre, just do it. You won't regret it.

On en avait entendu parler, alors on a essayé le menu dégustation & on a adoré! On y est retournés avec des amis qui visitaient & ils ont aussi eu une belle expérience. Les serveurs sont attentionnés & professionnels, l'ambiance est agréable & la bouffe est délicieuse.

Une vraie belle découverte ! Nous avons fait le choix du menu hélicoptère & l'un d'entre nous a choisi avec l'accord. Nous avons beaucoup aimé la diversité des produits (pétoncles, canard, boeuf) & la façon de préparer & présenter les différents légumes. Tout était excellent & que dire du service, wow! Nous avons été traités aux petits oignons! Nous recommandons ce resto sans hésitation!

What an amazing & surprising experience! From the moment that we walked in to leaving with our stomachs full, this was a great dining experience.

The locally sourced menu changes seasonally so what we had might be unique to others' experiences! We had the trumpet mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, rabbit, & pork. The dishes were all VERY unique & all the ingredients were paired perfectly! Flavourful, creative, & delicious! We were also amazed that one of the staff came by the table to re-fold our napkin when we went to the bathroom!

This place is extraordinary; their warmth, the care displayed in every aspect. Of course the cooking, the bar program, the passionate communication regarding the food & bev, the lighting… in the depth of winter, someone is always popping out & surreptitiously cleaning up muddy footprints dragged in from outside. The cooking, the cooking, the cooking.
We are so grateful to have stumbled upon this wonderful spot. Thank you!

One of those'blissfully perfect' Montréal resto experiences. Beautiful atmosphere, quiet enough to have a conversation, A+ staff especially seated at the bar, then the food arrives & it's just sublime. A+++++

Beautiful food, great wine & lovely hospitality we went for the tasting menu which was an excellent choice, & a few too many cocktails in the next door speakeasy.

I found this restaurant through reddit, which is yet to lead me astray. This place was fantastic. The vibe was cool & chill, the lighting was dim but appropriate (light enough to read the menu), & the sound & music filled the space without feeling overwhelming. The food was delicious. Highlights were the beef tartare, scallops, & the pear dessert. This place was extremely well priced for the high quality of the food. A fine dining experience without the price tag & pretentiousness. Not to mention the service was excellent, very attentive without being overbearing. Will be returning to Hélicopter next time I'm in Montréal.

Très belle expérience.
Nous avons choisi le menu dégustation. Tout était délicieux mis à part le 3e service avec les tortellinis qui manquaient de cuisson (Beyond al dente) & ne goûtaient que la pâte. Le bouillon était par contre excellent. Le vin qui l'accompagnait était lui aussi un peu fade, sans personnalité, ce qui détonnait des autres accords proposés.
Le serveur était très sympathique & très enthousiaste. Peut-être un peu trop parfois. Il avait si hâte de nous entendre lui dire qu'on se délectait, qu'il s'empressait de venir nous demander notre appréciation alors que nous venions à peine de recevoir nos plats & étions en train de se séparer leur contenu. Un simple petit coup d'oeil lui aurait permis de voir ce que nous faisions. ;)

Food is overrated. Cute plates but lack of Flavor.

18% tip minimum in this type of restaurant is an insult to the clients. With 15%, servers would still make way more than 80% of the working class in the city... Reality check please.

Overall, I can eat better & cheaper in a lot of different places in the city.

Honnêtement, rien n'était extraordinaire. Pour 350$ à 2 (quelques plats & une bouteille) je ressens profondément qu'il est ici question de l'envie des gens fortunés de dépenser à des endroits du genre par obscénité & sans réelle conscience culinaire. Je suis convaincu que des restaurants authentiques à mtl vont vous offrir une expérience gustative au minimum équivalente pour le 1/4 du prix.

A little loud, food was all cold/room temp at best for some reason? Portions were small for the price & lacking in seasoning. Maybe the tasting menu would have been better? Who knows.
