About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
  • Charming
Elena Restaurant, nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of Saint-Henri, offers a delightful dining experience that celebrates the flavors of Italy. Known for its warm ambiance and minimalist decor, Elena specializes in naturally leavened, wood-fired pizzas, handmade pasta, and seasonal dishes crafted with fresh, local ingredients. With an inviting atmosphere and a carefully curated wine list, it’s the perfect spot for a cozy dinner or a lively gathering with friends. Whether you're a pizza aficionado, a natural wine lover, or a pasta enthusiast, Elena promises a memorable culinary journey in the heart of Montreal.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Christopher Cameron

From the OpenTable editors: At Elena, naturally leavened dough and local ingredients come together in wood-fired pizzas that are nothing short of stellar. Though the pies steal the show, housemade pastas like mafalda al ragu are equally worthy of attention. With a strong natural wine list and a trendy setting that balances original architectural details with modern flair, it checks all the boxes for a memorable night out.

    Great experience and perfect for a more chilled meal after a day at the Grand Prix. Food was excellent - and the best Polenta Cake I have ever had. Rigatonni with fava, peas and morels was amazing, zucchini pizza and friend cauliflour also wonderful too. Bartender was very helpful. Would have liked a few more wine by-the-glass options but otherwise, one of the best experiendes I had in Montreal.

    The food was yummy! We sit in the bar. The chairs were not very comfortable. Too close to the entrance of the restaurant as it got very busy.

    It would have been a perfect evening to sit on the terrace but the staff told us the Ville de Mtl is forbidding its use for some as yet to be discovered reason.
