Outstanding restaurant with great atmosphere and design! The food was simply amazing, I'd absolutely recommend everything we had. The service truly stood out! Marcus welcomed our table of 7 with warmth and expertise, guiding us through the menu and anticipating our every need. What a great dining experience!!!

Ate dinner here last night and was really really impressed. We had the verde salad, diavolo pizza and the braised beef and pork pasta and had the tirimisu tres leches for dessert. All of it was a 10/10! And the natural wine I had was the most interesting one I have had to date! The thing that really made this and exceptional experience was the bartender (we ate at the bar). He was absolutely lovely person and incredible at his job. So smiley and sweet and attentive. I wish I remembered his name so I could give him a shout but he had longer dark hair and I hope his bosses give him a raise 🙂‍↔️ Thanks for a lovely experience! I will absolutely be back the next time I visit Montreal 👌

We were highly recommended to try Elena for their pizza, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We started with the meatballs and marinated red peppers as appetizers—both were incredible. The meatballs were rich and flavorful, and the peppers were perfectly balanced and delicious. The pizza was outstanding. Every bite was spot on, from the crust to the toppings. Everything we had was absolutely perfect. This is definitely a place I’d come back to without hesitation.

Thursday evening – table of 4. We arrived for 6pm reservations and I assume this early for the regular clientele as only tow other tables were seated. Was seated a corner table which is large circular table making it a little awkward when your 4 unless you add a chair. Started with come cocktails which were good. Appetizers: polpete, beet salad, supli and another dish I can’t recall were all very tasty. Everyone enjoyed. We then shared two pizzas (Diavolo and Margherita) which were also excellent. A dish of sugo (ragu) was also ok, not great but not bad. I thought it lacked seasoning and was rather bland. Service was excellent from all of staff were interacted with, friendly and professional. Wine suggestions (by the glass) were spot on. Noise level is high, but we were also seated under a speaker so music was a little loud. Plenty of parking available out front (free) and the area is quiet and residential. I prefer coming here in the summer when you can sit outside on the terrace which is more quiet. I had also indicated this was a birthday dinner in the Opentable reservation but this was overlooked or ignored.

Elena is tasty, fairly priced, and well worth it. Balanced menu, loyal crowd, and a great neighborhood spot.

Very loud. You’re also seated quite closed to other guests. Had pizza (great) with lamb pasta (also great) with tiramisu (served with filtered coffee, do not recommend). All in all a decent experience, but don’t get the hype honestly.

We love this place, it’s one of the few places we take out of towners when they come to the city. When it’s busy, It’s very noisy, but otherwise it’s a great place to chat and eat with friends. They always have an alternative or two on the menu that’s tasty - but the pizza is why we go. You can get a spicy honey/ pepperoni pizza anywhere in town so don’t sleep on the other options. They’re the best ones! Big fan

2026: nice olives and bread to start, but would be nice if olive oil had a little balsamic. The suppli Al telefono were better than typical arancini. Funguy pizza was overflowing with mushrooms. The lamb pasta was delicious. Tiramisu tres leches was perfect, best of both desserts. My friend enjoyed her chocolate cannolis. Service was friendly. Suggested wine was great. Été something. Lighting could still be better, it felt dark rather than intimate. Maybe some fake candles? 2024: The Dany pizza was delicious and creative with the sesame spinach honey combo, but I didn't like how wet it was, like all the toppings just slide off as soon as you lift it up. The Gigi pasta was a interesting bitter mix of flavours with the fennel and arugula, but there was barely any sausage in it. Olive oil cake was nice but pretty dry compared to other olive cakes I've had. I know the cream+olive oil is there to compensate but it's not the same. Cannolis were delicious and well presented, available without the pistachios if you have an allergy. The Barbossa is a smooth young red wine accompaniment Service was very attentive and efficient. Glasses were never empty. Decor was typical modern industrial. If there was music, it wasn't memorable.

I don't think I've had a worse pizza in all of Montreal. Anyone who says this pizza is good should lose all credibility instantly. The crust is tasteless and dense, the sauce lacks flavour and the cheese is poor quality. It's also small and thin but not in a good way. The ceasar salad was great but for a pizzeria, this place is an embarrassement. Literally go anywhere else for pizza. And on a final point, this is an open kitchen and the cooks didn't have their hair properly covered - seeing a woman cook with a long, bushy pony tail does not meet my standards of kitchen hygiene.

A group of us came for my best friend’s 40th birthday and we all decided to go with the set menu! It was absolutely fantastic, we truly enjoyed ourselves and the service was on point. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Pizza is excellent as always! However the service was inattentive: our server came by only a few times. More importantly we asked for our leftover slices to be boxed up and they never gave us our pizza! I was looking forward to that but they clearly were trying to turn the table once we paid. That’s so bizarre and rude!

Reserved a seat for a small group a week in advance, only to be placed at the bar table right by the entrance door. The pizzas were pretty mediocre, burnt (not leoparding, just burnt and bitter) and the crust was dense and lacked air pockets, I’m quite sure the entire batch was under-proofed that day.

Elena offers simple Italian cuisine and a pleasant atmosphere, well suited for a casual night out. During my visit, everything was fine overall, but nothing really stood out, particularly the food, which I found fairly classic for the price. For a similar budget, I personally find that Moreiras delivers a richer dining experience and a noticeably warmer ambiance. That said, Elena remains a decent option depending on what you’re looking for

Went to Restaurant Elena with my husband for our 1-year wedding anniversary and we had a delightful dinner! The food was incredible very tasty and beautiful presentation. The service was great too! Our waitress was super sweet. We ordered the kale cesar salad, the bread, the suppli, patate pizza (amazing vegetarian option) and diavola pizza and the Basque cheesecake for dessert. We really look forward to coming back!!

Wrote in the reservation notes that we we’re celebrating a birthday but it was a surprise. Immediately on arrival, the hostess mentioned the birthday (bummer). Barely any service, it took twenty minutes before I had to ask who I could order with. The waitress came by twice in the +2hours we were there and didn’t speak a word. Not one hi and did not check in to see if the food was okay. We honestly didn’t even know she spoke English until we asked for the bill. Our entire table works in service and we can all say that the servers go around looking at the tables but don’t actually speak to their clients unless its to collect their payment. We never tip less than 20% but tonight, tipping 15% felt wrong considering the only service we truly got was from the bartender (he took our order as well). Probably best as a takeout spot…..

I really enjoyed the Kale Ceasar Salad and the margarita pizza as well as the ragu pasta. The diavolo pizza I was disappointed by. The pastas are well executed!
