Wow – what an incredible experience! I honestly didn’t expect the food and service to be this amazing. Everything was out of this world! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. We tried the octopus salad and the duck – both were unbelievably fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!

Service was excellent. Our waiter was awesome. The food was good but portions were exceptionally small for the price point. The octopus had 2 tentacles. The shrimp had 3. The fish was a tiny fillet. The pasteis de nata was $12 for literally one + some berries. This restaurant felt like it was made for corporate clients who can expense the bill. For a family of 4, we paid through the nose for very little food.

Went here for a birthday dinner. It was my pick because I love Portuguese food and often make some of the dishes at home.
The food and service were outstanding. It is tapas style so we ordered several dishes to share, wine, and dessert. Every dish came out so well plated, down to the smallest detail. The octopus was pure perfection and the port wine tasting on the dessert menu is not to be missed. The caldo verde soup is one of my favoritea to make at home and did not disappoint.
The interior was authentic Portugal and interesting. The service was so well timed that it felt choreographed. I can’t wait to come back.

An exceptional experience at Helena!
We had an outstanding dinner for MTLàTABLE — the menu was exquisite from start to finish. The service was impeccable, with a genuine attention to detail that made the whole evening special.
I especially loved the salad and the octopus — both perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The duck was excellent, but the cod truly stole the show — tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented.
For dessert, the nata came with cinnamon, which wasn’t quite to my taste, and the rum cake had a bit too strong of a rum essence for me. Still, the overall experience was truly top-level — a refined and memorable evening that I would gladly repeat!

Best Portuguese cuisine in Montreal, hands down. Chef Helena’s creations are not only delicious but beautifully presented. Each plate is like a work of art. We enjoyed the tasting menu with wine pairings, and every course was exceptional, from the fresh seafood to the tender meats, with flavors that were both authentic and creative.
The service was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, which made the evening even more enjoyable. The staff explained each pairing and shared details about the dishes, showing real passion for the food and wines.
The ambiance is refined yet welcoming. Helena is perfect for a special night out or celebrating a milestone. Portions were generous for a tasting menu, and the pacing was excellent, giving us time to savor every bite.
We left feeling that Helena offers not just a meal, but a true culinary experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking fine dining in Montreal, especially lovers of Portuguese cuisine. We’ll definitely be returning!

The caldo Verde was good, but the sausage could have been cut up more, two long slices in a soup feels like a strange choice. The veal was fantastic, arguably the best I’ve had, with nice sides. Don’t bother with the dessert, charging 10 for one very typical pastel de nata feels like robbery. I asked for a wine recommendation to accompany my meal and she just pointed out the wines by the glass without describing them at all, surprising for a place with a huge wine list. I did enjoy the Cabernet Sauvignon I picked though.

Every was perfect from the food to the service!! Impeccable!! But the ladies bathroom has a leaking faucet too short to reach the inside of the sink! Leaking all over and my pants getting wet!! Not so cool. Please change the faucet so that it runs in the middle of the lovely sink you have. It’s not expensive to do that and a much better looking for your beautiful restaurant!! I can see a lot of thought and effort has been put into this lovely space. Except this has been overlooked

Dining at Helena was a memorable experience from start to finish.
The service was attentive and knowledgeable, with the menu thoughtfully explained and filled with carefully curated dishes. We began with a warm serving of bread accompanied by a trio of olive butter, olive oil, and chorizo butter, a perfect introduction. The cod fritters followed, and they were among the best I’ve ever had, crispy, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. For the main course, we opted for two cod dishes, with the black cod emerging as the undeniable standout of the evening.
The prices matched the quality of the food, and the cocktails were just as refined, balanced, creative, and beautifully presented. To end the meal, we indulged in a pastel de nata that was easily one of the finest I’ve tasted.
Helena is a restaurant that delivers on every level. Highly recommended for a special evening out.
