About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem
Great for fine wines

Hélicoptère is a neighborhood restaurant where the seasons shape the menu. Born from the vision of Chef David Ollu, the cuisine highlights local and seasonal ingredients, sourced from a network of dedicated artisans and producers, as well as harvests from its own rooftop garden. Everything is prepared in-house, prioritizing homemade craftsmanship and the transmission of culinary expertise.

Located in Hochelaga, the restaurant offers a five-course tasting menu with wine pairings, along with a selection of small plates to share. A generous wine list celebrates the diversity of styles and terroirs.

More than just a dining destination, Hélicoptère embodies a fair, sustainable, and community-driven approach to gastronomy. In a warm and refined yet unpretentious setting, sharing is at the heart of the experience.

It's a great restaurant. The food is the best thing about it. I find the service unequal. I find some of the servers overly enthusiastic and artificially friendly, making the experience sometimes annoying. But overall, an amazing place to eat.

Plats d'exception. Décor magnifique. Le seul bémol est que le service était ''trop attentionné'' Les serveurs n'hésitaient pas à couper notre conversation pour nous demander si tout était à notre gout pendant et après chaque plat, et dans un repas de 10 services, c'est vraiment fatiguant.

This place is an absolute gem. The tasting menu was a delight. Every dish prepared with such care for flavor combinations. The lamb dish was superb. The wine pairings were fantastic. Our server was lovely and so friendly and knowledgeable. The ambience and decor were beautiful and peaceful. My favorite evening in Montreal!!

The food at Hélicoptère was fire — absolutely delicious. We even ordered two desserts because they were that good. But the service? One server straight up ruined the vibe. From the moment my American husband asked for pineapple juice, she acted like we were a problem. Meanwhile, she was all smiles and energy with other tables. It was obvious she made some assumptions about us. With that said...the food is incredible.

Tous les plats étaient délicieux. Nous avons bien aimé les deux desserts, le riz au lait et une version moderne du pouding chômeur. La morue noire était décadente, la tartare un classique au Helicoptère et le crabe des neiges succulent! Tout ça avec un service impeccable et chaleureux.
