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.

Surprenamment abordable pour le lunch, vous êtes ici pour la découverte culinaire & l'expérience. Servive attentif & accueil impeccable.

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! ☺?

Best meal I've ever had. The 12-Course tasting menus was a once in a lifetime experience!

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.
Bikram
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.

The food & overall brunch experience had the potential to be wonderful, but unfortunately the service ruined it.
Food:
The brunch dishes were truly excellent. Every plate showed real care, precision, & creativity, & you could feel the passion behind the preparation. The flavours were refined, well-balanced, & beautifully presented. It was easily the highlight of the morning & absolutely lived up to the restaurant's reputation.
Service:
Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food. Our French waiter repeatedly made snarky & unnecessary comments in response to our needs, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere. Instead of feeling welcomed & cared for, we felt judged & brushed off. It was disappointing, especially in a place known for high-end dining, & it ultimately diminished what could have been a truly memorable brunch.
Ambiance:
The ambiance was warm, elegant, & chic. The space is beautifully designed, cozy yet refined, & it sets the perfect tone for a relaxing brunch. It's the kind of setting that enhances the meal & makes you want to take your time & enjoy the moment.

There are restaurants & there are dining experiences, this was the latter. Took my folks here from NYC for Thanksgiving & we were very pleasantly surprised with not just the world class menu, but the way everything was presented to us. They say you eat with your eyes first, & these folks make sure to feed your eyes before anything else. Don't want to leave any spoilers, but this place is highly recommended for first time Montreal visitors!

J'adore cet endroit. Ambiance chaleureuse & service impeccable.
Alicia
My expectation was great food which we got on our date with my husband! The whole experience was amazing. Being an Inuk, I really appreciated the cultural acknowledgement & education around food sustainability & the integration of seal meat in particular. The food was phenomenal & the price is very acceptable for the 10 course meal we had. Wine Paring for the four glasses I do not regret but I must send caution to the price, that's where you pay. Also the welcoming drink, the champaign; $50 a glass. BUT, just do it, how often are you at a high end restaurant like JF-Europea?

Jerome Ferrer - Birthday Menu Review (Montreal)
Overall, the experience was good, but for a Michelin-starred restaurant, the food definitely could have been better. Even if this is their'cheapest' tasting menu, I don't think that's an excuse - if a dish is going to be served under a Michelin banner, it should still be perfect. Some plates were great, others felt underwhelming, & a few really missed the mark.
We tried the Birthday Menu, a 12-course sharing experience. Before the courses start, they bring a few small bites to set the tone:
• Fromage bleu du Québec - served in a little shoe.
Good.
• Foie gras bite - foie gras with a small garnish.
I won't comment as I don't eat foie gras.
• Potato churro (savory) - a julienne-fries-style churro.
Not especially good; basically julienne-type fries.
• Warm sourdough with lobster butter - rich, warm, super addictive.
The bread was hard, but the lobster butter was great.
The 12 Courses
Starters to Share
1. Nordic Shrimp Guédille from Québec - on grilled Kamut bread with creamy celery rémoulade & lemon mayo.
This in my opinion was the best dish, very refreshing, rich in flavor, perfect amount of lemon mayo - enough to complement the shrimp without overpowering it!
2. Maple-braised ham croquette - crispy forest-style crust with boreal & smoked spices.
Good, nothing special to note.
3. Poached egg with meat jus & Béarnaise - green peas & creamy foie gras purée.
Extremely good, would definitely eat again.
Shared Signature Mains
4. Bay Scallops flambéed with Montreal pastis - preserved lemon cream & garlic flower butter.
Very good at first, although the anise taste overpowers it after a few bites & becomes repetitive.
5. Puff pastry with Québec poultry blanquette - white sauce with mushrooms & carrots.
It was good! Don't really mind it.
6. Lobster mac & cheese - lobster bisque base, gratinéed lobster meat.
Good, although it was watered down so not really cheesy. Generous lobster portion, but it needs a bit more salt.
Chef's Sides
7. Truffled mashed potato mousseline - ultra-smooth whipped potatoes.
It was good, again not outstanding. It seemed like it lacked something.
8. Red cabbage Caesar-style salad - finely shredded, cheese dressing.
Doesn't really have a Caesar taste; it's more garlicky. Also a bit disappointing to'waste' a dish on red cabbage salad.
9. Corn chowder - velvety corn soup with popcorn crisps.
This was the most disappointing dish. It's just corn with some popcorn on top & it was extremely salty.
Sweet Delights
10. Maple cotton candy - nostalgic Québec touch.
Good, not outstanding.
11. Chef's fine chocolates - selection from the in-house chocolatier.
I loved it - very caffeinated, but I like it!
12. Red berry pavlova - lemon cream, sweetgrass chantilly, crispy bits.
Very good & definitely a highlight!
Service
The service was genuinely excellent - attentive, responsive, & very professional. The only downside was the scallop flambé being done behind us, so we couldn't see the show.
Atmosphere
Cozy & elegant, with large paintings that feel very Canadian & give the place personality.
Julien
Belle ambiance, beaux plats, bien copieux.
Service au top, plus accessible & moins guindé que dans les restaurants étoilés français.
Mais nous n'avons fait que la table gourmande pour le moment, & non le gastro.
Baris
I dined at this Michelin-starred restaurant in Montreal, & unfortunately the experience fell far below expectations.
We started with the lobster cappuccino. While the idea was creative, the execution was not. It was overwhelmingly buttery, to the point where finishing it became difficult.
Next came the lobster dish. Presentation was elegant, but the flavor simply wasn't there. The lobster itself tasted flaky & oddly frozen, which is unacceptable at this level of dining.
We were served mashed potatoes on the side, & for the first time in my life, I saw mashed potatoes completely miss the mark. They were bland & topped with a fancy-looking cracker that added nothing to the dish.
The biggest disappointment of the night was the steak. Cold, chewy, & nowhere near the medium rare I requested - it was practically rare. Honestly, I would've thrown it out the window if I could.
Dessert was the final letdown: a pavlova served with… cotton candy. Cotton candy at a Michelin restaurant is baffling. The pavlova itself was flavorless, with a tasteless crust & a cream filling that felt like something a child could make.
I've dined at many Michelin-starred restaurants, & this was by far the worst experience. Based on what was served, I genuinely don't think they deserve their star.
