We received a very warm welcome from the staff upon arriving & walked into a beautiful & luxurious setting. As soon as we sat down, snacks quickly came & they were all delicious. I really liked the steamed mussels, & raw scallops. But I wished they would've come in two separate batches instead of all at once. Imagine 6-8 dishes explained to you, some hot some cold, all requiring your attention while you try to remember the ingredients that went into it. It was too overwhelming of a start. Their signature Lobster Cappuccino was great. The next courses, crab cakes & foie gras dumpling were okay, but left much to be desired. The main course for me was the biggest fault. My filet mignon arrived looking very pale brown & overcooked. Looked like oxidized meat. I've could've easily cooked a better steak at home. Just the eye of the meat had some pink, but if you cut into it, most of the meat was brown. It was probably sitting on the pass for a bit too long. The steak also lacked flavour. Maybe I just got a bad piece of meat. It just gave me the sense that the kitchen lacked cooking expertise & finesse. Maybe it's all smoke & mirrors with no substance. The chef clearly loves the theatrics of a modern fine dining experience, borrowing tricks from Alinea & El Bulli. The mash potatoes that came with the steak had a pungent truffle aroma that didn't really work. At some point the chef needs to realize he can't just throw truffle oil on everything. Overall, I think this place has potential to be one of the better restaurants in Montreal, but it needs to focus on the cooking. As for desserts, I enjoyed the crepe dish. Hopefully, in a few years, the chef can refresh his menu & liven it up a little.

Tout était extrêmement bon avec une présentation amusante & qui sort de l'ordinaire, le service à été professionnel & amicale, en somme à la hauteur du menu.
Je vous le recommande a tous sans aucun doute.
Such a fun & original experience provided by the incredible staff at Jérôme Ferrer - Europea. The uniqueness of the dishes' presentation is rivaled only by the delicious & complex flavors available in every bite. My partner & I were blown away!
