About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
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.

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.

    Elena comme toujours est un bon rapport qualité prix. De plus, ils ont accepté de mettre un feux de Bengal dans leur fameuse salade César pour célébrer l'anniversaire de mon amie au lieu du traditionnel gâteau. Le personnel était attentionné, courtois et ont répondu à toutes nos questions. Le seul bémol, nous étions assis au bar et les coussins des tabourets n'étaient manquaient de tonus. Merci pour cette belle soirée.

    We were well met when we arrived. That’s always a good sign. Wine suggestions were spot on. The food was served in a timely fashion and everything was delicious. Big plus, our water glasses were always filled. Thanks for a great evening, it was my birthday and we chose to spend it at Elena. Thanks and see you again soon. Marie
