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.

    Delightful pre-Canadiens game dinner! I went intending to have a quick pizza but Cinthia turned me on the salami plate and agnolotti menu addition. Both were were lovely! I wish I had more time in Montreal to see what this restaurant is like at 19:00 on a Friday night. It’s a beautiful space, the food was wonderful, and the team is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Thank you to Cinthia for your enthusiasm and hospitality.

    We enjoyed our dinner in a really relaxed environment, and we stayed until everyone was gone; however, they still didn't ask us to leave.

    Our food was great, very delicious. Our service on the other hand wasn’t so good. Our server was never around, we had to ask a busboy to get her so we could order our food. I work in the business so I know a good service when I see one and this wasn’t it. We’ve come here before and have had a great service in the past. I guess it just wasn’t her day.

    We were looking for a nice pizza restaurant in Montreal for the final night of our family holiday. Found Elena through Amex diners club, it was fantastic. We have a 3 year old and 5 year old who love pizza. This is not a family restaurant, but we booked in for 5:30 and we greeted by a smart stylish dining room. The staff were incredible, the food was even better. Pizza’s are in their own style and very tasty. A nod to home alone in the Kevin Macalister made us all smile. The restaurant was full when we left at 7pm so booking is essential. A lively clientele of young professionals, couples of all ages and friends out for dinner. Our children were the exception, the staff were great with them and the kids behaved impeccably. I would love to return with Mrs C for a date night next time we are in town, to enjoy a bottle from their extensive wine list and some of the other menu options. 10/10 perfection!

    The food was fantastic, our server recommended the kale ceasar, the arancini and the carrots for appetizers and they were all phenomenal.

    Elena is fantastic. It never disappoints. The service was spectacular. Attentive, very knowledgeable about the wine and instantly made us feel welcome and at ease. We had a leisurely dinner on a Sunday night and never felt rushed whatsoever. This is one of my favourite places for a casual night out in Montreal. We will definitely continue to go back. 10/10.
