The food was delicious and our waiter was wonderful.
Being my first time dining at a Portugeuse restaurant, I went in with no expectations and I was pleasantly surprised! The staff, especially our server, Michelle was outstanding, attentive and extremely engaged with us! The experience as a whole was great! Food was great too! :)
Service exceptionnel et nourriture absolument incroyable
Great food and excellent service. Highly recommended, especially for couples.
Expérience des plus agréables dès notre arrivée, personnel souriant et courtois. Service impeccable, attentionné à la bonne dose et tous les plats étaient succulents.
Best Portugese food in Montreal. Beautiful, refined and pleasant service. Helena’s wine offering is perfect.
Excellente cuisine, service impeccable, rapide et attentioné, un peu trop bruyant.

Extrêmement bruyant, difficile de s’entendre parler mais service et nourriture impeccable
Great place for lunch. Always a go to for business lunch.
The staff was great, food was delicious, ambiance beautiful. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family whether it's for a lunch meeting or a nice dinner.
Everything, from service to food to ambiance was wonderful. Perhaps the best meal we had during our 7 day Canadian swing.
Très bon service , le serveur ainsi que le personnel attitré à notre table ont su rendre notre souper mémorable. Côté repas tout était délicieux nous avons pris le menu dégustation et les suggestions accords vin parfait . Merci pour cette belle soirée.
The asparagus salad was a great beginning to the main. We had the seafood medley for two and the medley of shellfish and the octopus was tender and tasty. The service was fantastic and the ambiance was welcoming and the service crisp, inviting and exacting. A wonderful experience for the two of us
Très belle soirée! Cuisine excellente, huîtres, tapas et poisson frais. Malgré la pénurie d’employés, le personnel courtois, attentionné, un service impeccable, tout était parfait! Bref! MERCI, merci à vos employés qui font tout pour nous rendre cette expérience des plus agréables! C’est très apprécié! Continuez votre beau travail!
Très bon repas et notre serveur était très bon mais il manquait de personnel et ce fut très long pour avoir nos plats. Très long pour ce faire servir du vin. Notre serveur avait trop de table à s’occuper.
Service incroyable, ambiance était parfaite et le tapas étaient tous succulents, surtout la pieuvre !
Superbe restaurant, seulement le service besoin améliorer.
Ancien collègue de travail
There are many other options much more valuable for the money that you pay in this restaurant . Very disappointing.
Accueil, plat et service très bien.
Le préparation du poisson (morue noire) était impeccable. Niveau sonore assez élevé, la conversation n'était pas toujours facile.
Portion (midi) très petite pour un prix à l'avenant.
Food excellent, service excellent , expensive but the qualité us there
Malheureusement, pas la même expérience que ma première visite . On a dû être installé sur la terrasse pendant 30 minutes car notre table n’était pas prête. Les lampes chauffantes non fonctionnelles. Mon plat était excellent mais celui de mon partenaire : un carré d’agneau presque dégarni de viande. Des serveurs très gentils toutefois .
Just amazing .. from food to the service to the ambiance. I love this restaurant and will return!!
Amazing meal, service, and overall experience. Lovely dinner and perfect evening.
The food and service were quite good and I enjoyed my dinner.
Fantastic food. Level of service vary from one server to another
Wonderful!
Belle découverte! Les tapas étaient tous délicieux.
Cozy colorful ambience, quick professional service, tasty food choices. Catch of the day definitely worth it.
Repas bon et « santé ». J’aurais aimé que la cuisine soit plus authentique. Le repas dégustation est très copieux. Le service est rapide et efficace. Globalement, c’est un bon restaurant.
We sat at the big round table at the window. it was big for 4 people to talk but plenty of room and great views. my Gazpacho soup, clams courteous, friendly & attentive.
Heard about Helena through a friend and decided to reserve once I looked at the menu online for a wedding anniversary. When you hear Portuguese cooking some people will immediately think chicken.... au contraire with this gem of a restaurant. Bring your palates because you are in for a very pleasant culinary experience. My husband had the cod fritters that were packed with cod and nicely deep fried. I had the asparagus salad that was rather generous, fresh and deliciously topped with shaved prosciutto. We both enjoyed the baked black cod that just melted in your mouth. Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert but the choises were very tempting. Service was attentive and very professional! We will surely return.
Due to staff shortages (in both front and back of house), we had a very long wait for our succession of tapas dishes. Our waiter was very professional and pleasant, but he had too many tables to look after. The food was very nicely prepared, but the noise level was too high, and the music was not at all compatible with the restaurant ambience and was way too loud - lots of booming base. We asked for it to be turned down a bit, and maybe it was, but not enough. Sadly, this gives us enough reason not to return.
Very good food, the fish was excellent. We took the tapas 6 course menu. Desert was the weak point.
Expérience culinaire remarquable. Les vins d'importation privée étaient excellents. L'atmosphère était à la joie.
