    It was our first time at Helena, and we had some expectations set based on reviews we read. On top of that it was a New Year's dinner and we were really expecting to have an exceptional dinner with amazing service and the very good food (st\ least according to the regular menu. The disappointment came right after we were sited, first of all the restaurant was not crowded, but it took a good 20 minutes for servant to come to our table. The expected regular dinner menu was not available, and we had to agree to pre-set option for the night with a fixed price of $175 per person, which was annoying, since did not have much choices according to our dietary preferences. It occurred that it doesn't have any option for people who do not eat meat, forget about the vegans.. The portions was pity fully small like in the worst case of fine french cuisine "Europea" style, just a joke, plus the stuff was definitely missing on the training, pouring the wine with the elbow pointed into my face, multiple times, definitely not accidentally. The food was random and overall nothing to do with the Portuguese cuisine. Most of all it reminded of a low end catering at the low end cocktail party. Music was too loud and it did not go with the place ambiance. There was a ceiling lamp in the middle of the room decorated with some kind of green tree branches, that had perished and had to be replaced over a week ago, nobody bothered. Overall, I think the owners of this place completely dropped the ball, and do not care of how it is doing. I prefer to stay silent about the main dish they served to me instead of the meat one I do not eat. LOL never again! Good luck dear Helena ;))

    Decided to do New Year’s Eve at Helena. Had no choice but to have a set menu, which I thought there was a $125 option and a $175 option. Surprised at invoice time that we were charged the $175. Wine was $80 for a very average bottle of white. One of our dishes arrived late because it was given to the couple next to us, mistakenly, then removed and taken to somewhere, don’t know where, and then I think it was the same dish returned to us and was now lukewarm at best when it should have been hot. Quite disappointing. Service staff were good, and friendly. Overall with taxes and tip, the bill was almost $580+. Summary: good food but way overpriced for our taste.

    Amazing! From the food to the wine to the desserts! Being a big guy the portions were adequate for my wife and myself. The wine list was great for a novice to find something amazing with the help of the staff at a decent price. The staple of every restaurant is dessert. Have a good dessert and it highlights the experience and Helenas did just that. Their desserts were amazing!!! Looking forward to once again visiting them sooner than later!

    First of all, we have loved Helena and have been going there for special occasions when we visited Montreal. This time, the restaurant was packed. We were a party of 7. We waited a long time for our main course to arrive. They eventually arrived at different time. My cod fish was cold and I had to send it back for reheating. The lead waiter was great and attentive, but the person who brought our food was rude and argumentative when we questioned about our appetizer. We were disappointed with our experience this time and probably won’t go back for a while.

    Our last night in Montreal we chose Helena for the food and ambiance. We were so thrilled with the menu, the cod fish was perfectly prepared and the Pastei de Belem was a good as the original one in we had in Lisbon Portugal.
