Reviews
Friendly staff and great atmosphere. We let the staff choose the dishes and they always bring such great choices. I’ve been here a few times and have always left completely in love with the restaurant. We’ve brought some friends and family and they’re always so impressed by the quality of the food and service. Definitely a great place for Portuguese food!
Most memorable meal we have had in years. Tried the tasting menu with wines paired. What a surprising culinary experience! Fantastic service and wonderful way to celebrate a special anniversary. We will be back! They keep it cool and that is exactly the way I like it, but maybe bring a sweater if you don’t run hot like me :)
Cannot suggest all the items we enjoyed due to they are not on the regular menu.
The food was divine! The service excellent. Had dinner here with friends last week and loved it so much that I came back again with my wife. Took the same dishes and they were as good as the first time. Best meals I had in Montreal during my stay.
My husband and I have been here many times before ( the last visit was in 2021). As always, exceptional service, absolutely beautiful atmosphere and the food? Out of this world!!!
Brought a group of friends (their first time), and already they were making plans about coming back again in this summer! They had such a great time and enjoyed every single bite!
Fantastic place. Can't recommend this place enough!
We heard the Portuguese cuisine was famous in Montreal and Helena restaurant proved this is true. The food was delicious, the waitress and the staff were really friendly/helpful and the atmosphere was great. If we ever visit Montreal again, we will come back to Helena.
Incredible food with impeccable service. Organized a work event and from to finish the team went above and beyond. Some in the group had dietary restrictions and it was handled with brio. We had a tasting menu and every dish was beautifully done. Everyone really enjoyed the experience. The star of the night for me was the octopus. It’s the best I have ever eaten. It’s nice to see a restaurant who focuses on quality and authenticity and understands how important customer service is. I highly recommend them!
Very nice location on McGill with amazing interior design. Service is very good. Food is so so. Not to die for, but decent. Huge wine list with very good variety. The fish could be better as my plate was almost tasteless. My friends plates were better, like the octopus for example or the fletan. Tastier. Verdict : give it a try if you like seafood and hopefully you will choose a good plate that is tasty.
Most of the ingredients were good, but one of the clams we were served was unfortunately dead and full of decomposing matter or dirt (see picture). The dishes we ordered were not overly complex and the portions were on the smaller side, so we expected the ingredients to be perfect. It's very disappointing that they couldn't remove a dead clam from a dish that contained 5 clams overall. This could have been done very easily and showed a lack of attention to detail.
When we pointed this out to the server, they seemed to mimize it and took the plate away. There was no apology from the kitchen and we got handed the bill with no explanation about what happened. We asked the server to give feedback to the kitchen and we ended up getting a "it happens" kind of apology and three pastries. The lack of attention to detail and the service are not what you would expect from a fine dining establishment and I would not recommend going there.
