Jérôme Ferrer - Europea

Opens Today at 5 pm

(1654)

Downtown

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. Diners praise the refined ambiance and attentive service in many visits, though some critiques highlight variability: some meals feel harmonious and sumptuous with high value, while others lean toward overly salty or creamy flavors and dishes that fail to justify the price. The dessert and cotton candy touches polarize opinion; some find them whimsical and memorable, others deem them gimmicky or cloying. 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

Outremont Mile-End

French Bistro Tartare Charcuterie

Review Summary

Reviews of Chez Lévêque describe a warm intimate French dining room with a refined ambiance and consistently attentive service that many patrons find exemplary. The cuisine is frequently praised for classic French dishes, with standout options like escargots, foie gras, moules farcies, and well prepared fish and meat mains, accompanied by a deep wine list and dessert offerings that often delight. While several visits are described as excellent, some diners note inconsistencies such as dishes not meeting expectations, overly salty sauces, small portions for the price, or moments of variable attentiveness. The atmosphere is sometimes noted as crowded or softly noisy, which can detract from a quiet tete a tete, though others appreciate the lively hospitable energy. Price is generally viewed as high but justified by the quality and presentation, and many call it a Montreal institution for reliable French fare that makes for memorable celebrations, even if not every visit is flawless.View restaurant profile
