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 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 enjoyable
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.

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 service
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.
Cool little neighborhood cafe for locals. Far from touristy places & hotels. Mediterranean flavors. High quality, gourmet dishes. Excellent staff & service . Recommend.
Went here with high expectations & the restaurant mostly delivered. Enthusiasm & knowledge staff was outstanding. We went with tasting menu & couple dishes weren't my favorite but rest were outstanding & memorable
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.
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!
