Hélicoptère earns high marks for impeccable service, a refined yet cozy atmosphere, and a menu that showcases fresh, local ingredients with inventive, tasting-menu driven dishes. Reviews frequently praise the option to enjoy either a tasting menu or personalized à la carte selections, with consistently beautiful presentations, thoughtful wine pairings, and a lively yet intimate bar program. The experience is often described as memorable and well suited to celebrations, with staff that are attentive and professional while keeping the mood welcoming. A few notes mention small portions for the price, occasional inconsistency in seasoning or execution, and ambiance that can feel overly bright or loud when crowded. Overall, Hélicoptère is viewed as one of the top dining experiences in Montreal, inviting repeat visits to explore evolving seasonal offerings and the restaurant's dedication to hospitality and culinary exploration.
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.
An exeptional restaurant in every regard. The wine pairing selections were extraordinary, each choice thoughtfully complementing the dishes. The food was outstanding, meeting & often exceeding the standards of the finest restaurants in Paris I've experienced before.
Amazing food, we got the tasting menu with the wine pairings. The plates were unique, great presentation & even better taste. I tried hard not to lick the plate LOL. The sumac spritzer cocktail was interesting. The wine pairings were so-so. A couple of interesting ones but I think that's one area that they can potentially improve. Service was top notch, friendly & on time but not in your face. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is great, & the atmosphere outside on the street, well let's just say it's entertaining. We watched a whole police pullover of a car & search of their trunk while sipping wine! Overall, highly recommended & will definitely be back.
Wonderful experience. From the moment you walk in everyone was warm & inviting, especially the bartender. Did a solo dinner at the bar & was able to take part in the tasting menu with wine paring which was superb. Everything was explained, conversation was educational & genial & of course both the food & wine were delicious. Would go back in a heartbeat.
Impeccable food & service, came with two friends for dinner last friday. Our table was a bit late but nothing a negroni next door can't fix;). The Wine & spirits list is great, very knowledgeable staff. Now for the foods, everything was phenomenal but special mention to the tartare, pintade & carrots which were out of this world! Can't wait to go back! Bisous a l'equipe vous êtes extremement aimable❤️🔥
Recommended by a HoMa local. 5 course fix prix $80 with $65 wine pairing. Worth every penny. We've had wine pairings at other restaurants that missed the mark. At Heliocoptere the wine was diverse & perfectly paired. Servers were friendly, funny, & polished. They easily accommodated all our dietary requests: one friend gluten free, another pescatarian, & 2 different allergies. All meals were outstanding.

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 lol
Amazing place to begin our four day food odyssey of Montreal. Got a seat at the bar, just as we like it, & Cedric, bartender extraordinaire, made it a both fun & insightful evening. We picked the tasting menu & the accompanying wine menu. Oyster mushroom w whipped feta; lobster with zucchini & coconut milk; guinea fowl & dumplings with liver of the fowl to name just a few of the six sharing servings. Great food. Great service. Neighborhood feel. Restaurant Hélicoptère in Hochelaga, just 25 min in car from downtown Montreal.
Absolutely amazing! My friend & I choose the tasting menu, one of us with the wine paring, it was an incredible experience!
The deco is warm & cozy, the service was spotless & everyone working there cares very much for your experience.
