Jérôme Ferrer - Europea

Kylee

1.0

La Table Gourmande by Jérôme Ferrer was, unfortunately, one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had. From the service to the food-& even the comfort of the dining space-the restaurant fell short on every level.

Having dined at four Michelin-starred restaurants in the same week, I was genuinely surprised this establishment had earned one. We were seated by a window, which in itself was not a problem, but the temperature was uncomfortably cold. In a city known for its freezing winters, I expected better insulation or heating. I eventually had to retrieve my jacket just to stay warm during the meal.

As for the food, overall it lacked depth of flavor & refinement. The poached egg was lukewarm, the bay scallops were bland, & the lobster mac & cheese was both greasy & uninspired. The Caesar-style cabbage dish was similarly disappointing. Service issues compounded the experience-our server once forgot to replace our cutlery between courses, leaving us unable to eat while our dishes cooled. On another occasion, plates were cleared while we were still eating.

To make matters worse, one dish was so tough to cut that it ended up spilling down my front despite my care. Unfortunately, none of the staff seemed to notice or offer assistance.

The poor service continued even at the end of the evening. After waiting an extended time for our check, I eventually stood at the front of the restaurant. After about 10 minutes, I asked a staff member to please bring my husband the bill, which then took another 10 minutes to process.

Overall, the restaurant failed to deliver the level of quality, service, & hospitality expected of a Michelin-starred establishment.

On a pris un filet mignon qui n'était pas du tout tendre. Le serveur, au lieu d'entendre notre insatisfaction nous transfère la responsabilité sur nous, car on a supposément pas su dans quelle direction couper cette viande. Garder des couteaux à beurre sur la table alors qu'on sert de la viande rouge, viens avec une certaine responsabilité. Peut-être qu'une étoile Michelin leur a amené beaucoup de volume, mais ce n'est pas une raison pour prioriser la quantité sur la qualité. Culpabiliser le client sur comment couper une viande alors qu'ils servent un filet mignon hyper raide parce qu'ils servent les partie de l'extrémité est complètement pathétique pour un restaurant étoilé.

Worthy of its Michelin star, it is a Montreal experience not to be missed.

I will leave the cuisine for Michelin to critique, but will say the dining room is spacious & elegant. It provides table privacy in an intimate setting. Service is exceptional save for our server's obsession with fendi bags (… Chanel forever), but a bag stool should be mandatory for a resto of this stature (although one cannot compensate for another's contempt for her bag). The presentation was hilarious & my friend had fun with the cotton candy after dinner :)

I went for New Years Eve & it was a spectacular dinner. I had the full menu gastronomique as well as a special New Years wine pairing. Everything was perfect. The staff was efficient & friendly. The sommelier was both friendly & very knowledgeable. The food had the right amount of theater without seeming cliche & also maintaining the excellence of each dish. Too many different dishes to go into detail here but highlights include lobster tail, Kobe beef & a wonderful oyster dish. Nice touch was that they give you cards that provide the backstory for each dish, I found it very helpful as I normally miss part of what the server says when presenting. Definitely an experience restaurant that I would recommend when you are in Montreal.

I'll go straight to the point. Europea does not live up to Michelin-star standards.

When we arrived, our table was not ready. We were left standing at the entrance for ten minutes with no explanation.

We chose the ten-course tasting menu. Only one dish stood out. The rest were forgettable. The wine pairing was underwhelming & added little to the experience.

The biggest disappointment was the service. It felt rushed, uncoordinated, & oddly stressful. There was no sense of pacing or attention.

All four of us left disappointed. This was not the level of experience we expected.

I don't often buy into the Michelin star hype but me & my partner went here for a date & were blown away. The food was magnificent & the presentation just stunning & poetic. There was one dish we had where the put all of these green lemon flavored leaves on a birch log & another where they even gave us VR headsets to wear that showed us how the oysters were caught. The meal ended with a divine s'more campfire set up where we made our own s'mores. I'm also not a huge fan of lobster but they cooked it to perfection. The staff was incredibly attentive & even showed us the busy operations of the kitchen & gave us a small free cake as a gift. We have been fancy restaurants before but came away feeling a little disappointed or like we didn't get enough place. I think this place really just excelled on every level & left us a little speechless 😶 at the quality of experience. I hate to hype too much but I was not disappointed at all. Though some of the pork bikes could've used a little more flavor. That's about it. Besides that I would highly recommend this place. It was an amazing, amazing journey.

Excellent restaurant, à la hauteur de son étoile Michelin.
?Nous avons choisi le menu signature, un parcours gastronomique de 10 services, accompagné de l'accord mets & vins « prestige & divin » que nous avons partagé. Le chef Jérôme Ferrer rend un hommage divin aux produits du Québec & du Canada, tant pour les papilles que pour les yeux.
?Le service, tout comme la description des plats, a été impeccable & précis. Le sommelier nous a fait voyager ; il nous a offert une expérience mémorable grâce à ses descriptions passionnées & à un accord vin parfaitement maîtrisé. Les plats se sont succédé à une cadence régulière du début à la fin.
?J'ai beaucoup aimé les petites fiches expliquant chaque plat & son histoire à travers le Québec, agrémentées de quelques anecdotes de Jérôme Ferrer. Enfin, nous avons eu l'opportunité de visiter la cuisine, une attention que nous avons grandement appréciée.

The food was outstanding. We had the Jerome Ferrer signature menu which was quite the experience. Each dish presented was a work of art & explained in detail. likewise if you have the wine parring option, the Sommelier explains each wine choice & why it pairs with what you are about to eat. The staff & service was second to none. The starting sourdough bread basket was fresh & excellent, but a bit much when a Brioche dish also arrived. Both great, but hard to not indulge & a bit heavy. Was truly a dinner with company that will never be forgotten.

I waited a week before writing this review, to ensure I wouldn't be posting while irritable. First, let me say the service was excellent. Friendly, informative, organized. We all ordered the tasting menu (no wine), to learn what this resto has to offer. The presentation of the dishes was indeed otherworldly: original, elevated, artistic. Unforgettable, in fact. But the food! OMG, I am still bitter. I thought the French had lessened their reliance on salt & dairy by now. In a city like Montreal, with the vast array of cuisines available, I expect a fine restaurant to be able to toss the salt shaker & concentrate on flavours. Also, does dairy have to be in every single dish? Ugh. The oysters on the half shell were flavourless. The maple sugar-infused marshmallows (which you toast yourself!) were a treat! But the kobe steak? Had I not been out with friends, I would have asked for my money back. Someone better let the chef know that folks who can afford his prices have already tasted many grades of wagyu beef & know what meat SHOULD taste like. (Reminds me why I would go to Argentinian restos in Paris to get good steaks...) All in all, I would give this place a pass. (None of us complained to the wait staff, because they were so lovely & attentive; we didn't have the heart!) I hoped I would be nicer by now, but I think management needs a wake-up call: all the pretty plating in the world does not compensate for weak flavours.

We went as a family, & got the gourmet table, ordered as a group the menu signature, everything was great, the lobster was perfect, the beef was awesome, the dessert was really light & refreshing after such a rich meal. The service was next level & everyone very agreeable. The new interior is great looking (last time we went was a long time ago at the original location).

I highly recommend !

Side note : I would not choose a table on the balcony if I were you. You will get all the smoke of the cooking done by the waiters in front of the clients, the japanese charcoal bbq is especially not great indoors in my opinion it produces a lot of smoke.

J'ai visité ce restaurant avec de grandes attentes, compte tenu de sa réputation Michelin, & j'en suis ressortie profondément déçue. J'y étais également allée l'an dernier & l'expérience n'avait absolument rien à voir avec celle vécue cette année - ni en termes de qualité, ni de service, ni d'ensemble de l'expérience.

La nourriture était froide, les plats mal agencés, sans cohérence de saveurs. Le pain était extrêmement dur, au point où j'ai sérieusement craint pour mes dents - inacceptable dans un établissement de ce niveau. À ce prix, soit 350 $ minimum, on s'attend à une expérience irréprochable, ce qui n'a absolument pas été le cas.

Côté service, l'expérience a été tout aussi décevante : le serveur n'est passé qu'une seule fois durant toute la soirée, avec une attitude arrogante & peu professionnelle. J'avais communiqué une demande claire lors de la réservation, & lorsque j'ai posé la question sur place, elle m'a été confirmée de façon arrogante.

De plus, on a oublié de me fournir mes couverts, m'empêchant littéralement de manger jusqu'à ce que je le signale.

Pour un restaurant étoilé Michelin, cette expérience est inadmissible. Ce lieu ne mérite clairement pas son étoile ni les prix qu'il pratique.

Europea, autrefois un joyau culinaire de Montréal, a connu une chute libre. J'ai eu le plaisir de dîner dans de nombreux restaurants étoilés Michelin à travers le monde, & Europea est une véritable honte pour notre ville. C'est d'autant plus décevant que c'était un 10/10 il y a seulement deux ans. Hier, le 21 décembre 2025, j'y ai vécu une expérience gastronomique immangeable. Le service était inexistant; notre serveur de la soirée était introuvable. La nourriture était tout simplement mauvaise. Le menu était mal choisi, & les saveurs ne se mariaient pas du tout. J'ai été extrêmement déçu. Ne perdez pas votre temps à Europea; Montréal regorge de restaurants exceptionnels, & l'Europea n'en fait plus partie, malheureusement.

Bonjour , nous sommes extrêmement déçu de notre souper hier soir . Pour commencer le gars qui nous a accueilli n'a aucune classe il parle avec une arrogance & il a disparu au courant de la soirée . Deuxièmement le pain qui nous a été servie tu pourrais y laisser une dent à l'intérieur il était très dur & très froid , la nourriture n'avait pas de goût , un mac n cheese froid avec des pattes qui baigne dans une sauce en aurait dit une soupe , en plus du fait qu'il fallait attendre longtemps pour avoir sa nourriture donc quand tu reçois ta nourriture elle est froide & pas bonne , ce resto n'a pas les qualités d'un restaurant Michelin & j'espère que ce sera retiré l'image de Michelin à l'entrée parce que c'est simplement pas bon & très mal gérer . De plus ils ont pas mal gâcher notre soirée puisqu'on a beaucoup de travaille moi & ma femme nous n'étions pas aller à un restaurant sa faisait quand même longtemps & la nous sommes allez la & avons tellement regretter en tout cas n'allez pas à cet établissement c'est le plus gros scam a mtl !!!

Bouffe merveilleuse à des prix très raisonnables considérant le niveau & la réputation. Mais surtout, service incroyable! Tout le protocole d'une étoile au Guide, mais sans être guindé & surfait. Le staff est parfait. Chaleureux, professionnel, accueillant & expert! À refaire, le plus souvent possible! ☺?

Welcome to another level of fine dining. The michelin star is well deserved. An artistic presentation of Quebec inspired courses flows through the evening, activating every sense. Creative & unusual dishes compline flavour, texture, smell, sight & even sound. Amazing dining experience. If you are still game at the end, ask for a glass of the Louis XIII, 100 year old cognac.

2 thumbs up. Just a little suggestion the courses are rushed a bit, there should be a little pause till the guest finishes the glass of wine paired with the course.
