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.

    From the service to the food to the ambiance, Elena's was exceptional. We started with the Caesar kale salad, which was perfectly dressed, followed by the stracciatella and Diavolo pizza. We finished with a delicious ricotta cake. Highly recommend this restaurant!

    If you are looking for a real Naepolitan pizza, skip this place. I came here because it was listed by Time Out as one of the best 50 places to eat in Montreal. Big mistake.
