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

Griffintown Little Burgundy

Fried Chicken Contemporary/Modern Comfort Food Chicken Wings American Salads

Review Summary

Le Bird Bar comes across as a chic, cozy venue with stylish decor and a lively vibe that makes it a popular spot for brunch, cocktails, and casual meals. Service is frequently praised for friendliness and attentiveness, though wait times and speed vary, with some visits experiencing delays during busy periods. Food quality is inconsistent: the chicken and waffles are a recurring point of contention, sometimes dry with small portions or perceived as overpriced, while other dishes such as tartare, salmon tartare, fried chicken, mac and cheese, and oysters receive praise for flavor and preparation. Portions range from generous to modest, and the balance between bar bites and more substantial plates can feel uneven. Drinks are often highlighted as a major strength, with well crafted cocktails, solid margaritas, and an appealing wine list that enhances the experience. The ambiance, energy, and attentive service encourage return visits, even when food quality and value vary between meals.View restaurant profile
