Helena

One of the best place for lunch that we have ever had. Aside from Portus 360 of course (same owner). We were a party of 5 and immediately welcomed upon arrival and seated at the back corner of the restaurant. We enjoyed the bread and their olive oil a lot, could have been better if the bread roll was warm. But it’s still good quality bread nonetheless. We had all chosen the lunch set menu for $38. It comes with a starter + main course of choice and for an additional $10 for their dessert of the day. Everything from their service to their food and ambience was great. We had requested for the waitstaff to take a picture for us and he very gladly said “Bien sûr!”, they were PACKED, extremely busy and yet, their service is not rushed. He even took several pictures for us and offered to take more if we don’t like the pictures he had taken. Thoughtful. I’m mentioning this here because just last week, we lunched next door and asked for a picture for a friend’s birthday and was told “When I have time”. Given everything, we will return again and again to Helena simply because they know what being hospitable is like and how to run a successful thriving restaurant. P/S: They also accomodated my request for a little candle for our friend’s birthday happily. Not sure why their neighbour cannot offer even a small candle, but this means we will always come to Helena not just for their great food but also for their lovelty hospitality and service. 5* through and through, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Perfect for business lunches or date night. The staff will adapt your menu if possible for your food intolerance (gluten free or lactose intolerance). Variety of wines available and a great lunch menu. Complementary bread is served with lunch. The food is fresh and prepared with care. The lunch menu is around 50$ (not including wine).

Perfect experience in this restaurant I wanted to try new food so I chose this Portuguese restaurant, and guess what? The food was amazing they gave us a 5 course and it was so delicious and class. I loved the food, the way they serve it and the atmosphere. So romantic inside for a nice date evening. I highly recommend this restaurant for everyone looking for a classy service.

If there was 0.5 scores this restaurant would of gotten 4.7 for sure. Service was on point, pouring wine, soda and swapping out plates between tapas. Food was hot, well seasoned and not long to receive order. Chef Helena even took the time to say hi to a couple of tables including ours. My only reservation with this experience is that the kid/teen menu is non existant with limited beverages (juices) but we shared tapas and it was fine. Waiter spotted close to empty glasses and made sure they were filled, and offered complementary choices to existing orders. Churos for dessert are hot and delicious. Clean restaurant, staff wearing masks in the kitchen and at the door with hand sanitizer that smells great for a change. Good job Helena crew.

An absolute amazing fine dining experience. We went there on a Saturday night for a date. We tried the exploration menu so we got to have from the top dishes on the menu. We were very full towards the end so took the rest to go. Each dish was an artistic culinary experience. This restaurant is expensive, but it is expected for the quality of the food you are getting. For 2 cocktails and the exploration menu for 2, you can expect a bill of around 280-300$. The service was top notch, and there's even a complimentary coat check. Wonderful experience for a special occasion.
