Reviews for Helena in Montréal, QC
we ordered fresh cod filet (catch of the day) and the steak. The fish was very fresh snd delicious. But the steak, it was just... normal. Nothing fancy about it. Read more
Nice lunch service at Helena, the service was friendly enough although short staffed and as a result not very attentive. The... food was good and included options such as fresh grilled whole fish. Lunch menu will set you back $70+ Read more
One of the best place for lunch that we have ever had. Aside from Portus 360 of course (same owner). We were a party of 5 and... immediately welcomed upon arrival and seated at the back corner of the restaurant. We enjoyed the bread and their olive oil alot, could have been better if the bread roll was warm. But it’s still good quality bread nonetheless. We had all chosen thelunch set menu for $38. It comes with a starter + main course of choice and for an additional $10 for their dessert of theday. Everything from their service to their food and ambience was great. We had requested for the waitstaff to take a picturefor us and he very gladly said “Bien sûr!”, they were PACKED, extremely busy and yet, their service is not rushed. He eventook several pictures for us and offered to take more if we don’t like the pictures he had taken. Thoughtful. I’mmentioning this here because just last week, we lunched next door and asked for a picture for a friend’s birthday and was told“When I have time”. Given everything, we will return again and again to Helena simply because they know what beinghospitable is like and how to run a successful thriving restaurant. P/S: They also accomodated my request for a little candlefor our friend’s birthday happily. Not sure why their neighbour cannot offer even a small candle, but this means we willalways come to Helena not just for their great food but also for their lovelty hospitality and service. 5* through and through,HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Perfect for business lunches or date night. The staff will adapt your menu if possible for your food intolerance (gluten free or... lactose intolerance). Variety of wines available and a great lunch menu. Complementary bread is served with lunch. The food isfresh and prepared with care. The lunch menu is around 50$ (not including wine). Read more

Perfect experience in this restaurant I wanted to try new food so I chose this Portuguese restaurant, and guess what? The food... was amazing they gave us a 5 course and it was so delicious and class. I loved the food, the way they serve it and theatmosphere. So romantic inside for a nice date evening. I highly recommend this restaurant for everyone looking for a classyservice. Read more
If there was 0.5 scores this restaurant would of gotten 4.7 for sure. Service was on point, pouring wine, soda and swapping out... plates between tapas. Food was hot, well seasoned and not long to receive order. Chef Helena even took the time to say hi to acouple of tables including ours. My only reservation with this experience is that the kid/teen menu is non existant with limitedbeverages (juices) but we shared tapas and it was fine. Waiter spotted close to empty glasses and made sure they were filled,and offered complementary choices to existing orders. Churos for dessert are hot and delicious. Clean restaurant, staff wearingmasks in the kitchen and at the door with hand sanitizer that smells great for a change. Good job Helena crew. Read more
Delicious seasoning and fresh seafood! Their sweet potato purée is a legend. Ordered the $120 dish, you get a little bit of... everything. Appetizers we ordered a lot ham and cheese, beautifully plating and nicely arranged. I would recommend thechocolate mouse dessert. What a great combination of chocolate and raspberry purée. I also find the portion of plate is on thelight side. And their plates are little bit “legacy”. They demo the seafood and cook in a open concept which is veryentertaining. Read more
