French Vegetarian Tartare

Review Summary

Jérôme Ferrer - Europea is consistently described as a premier Montreal dining experience with a Michelin pedigree, offering artistic, generously portioned tasting menus that showcase Quebec and Canadian ingredients and feature visually striking presentations, including standout lobster cappuccino and Kobe beef, along with engaging table-side theatrics and occasional behind-the-scenes kitchen tours.

The wine pairings and sommelier guidance are frequently commended, though a few guests note inconsistent pacing or rushed courses. The newer location and decor are generally well received, but a handful of reviewers report service lapses, miscommunications, or less polished experiences compared to expectations for a Michelin-starred establishment. Overall the restaurant remains highly regarded for culinary creativity and high-end dining, with some room for refinement in execution and value.View restaurant profile
