Europea group’s main restaurant, a gourmet jewel in the Canadian metropolis. Europea opened in 2002, in the heart of downtown Montreal. Voted best restaurant in 2008 and 2010, it has now been chosen as one of the Top 10 restaurants worldwide by Travellers’ Choice Award 2012 by Travel Adviser. Mr Jerome Ferrer, Grand Chef Relais & Chateaux, and Europea restaurant have gained both notoriety and prestige proposing a unique gourmet cuisine of exceptional quality using the best local products.
Reviews of Jérôme Ferrer Europea portray a dramatic, fine dining experience in Montreal where food is presented as art and the ambiance feels refined and welcoming. Echoed throughout is praise for attentive staff, behind the scenes kitchen access, and a tasting format that showcases creative plates and strong use of Quebec ingredients. Standout moments and dishes such as the lobster cappuccino and the Kobe beef are frequently celebrated, and the wine pairings are often praised as well. Yet opinions are mixed on flavor balance and consistency; some meals are described as spectacular and generous, while others are criticized for heaviness, overrich sauces, saltiness, or a lack of cohesion, as well as occasional service gaps or pacing issues. The move to a newer location is noted by some as improving atmosphere, while others feel the service can feel rushed or impersonal on busy nights. Overall the experience is seen as unforgettable and worth trying for a special occasion, with many agreeing that the restaurant earns its reputation, even if the value proposition depends on expectations for theater versus taste.
Une expérience culinaire & une très belle histoire pendant le repas
La cuisine de produits du Quebec avec de très beaux produits
On passe une formidable soirée
Amazing, incroyable!
Menu etoilé Michelin 10 services avec accord vin haut de gamme pour un groupe de 8!
Meilleur $1k que j'ai mangé & bu de ma vie.
Tout le groupe était bien comblé!
I would give this place a 3.5/5. For a Michelin star awarded restaurant, the repeat of the same sauce in many dishes were disappointing. The service is very fast & mechanical which is unfortunate. The cotton candy at the end is fun, & some dishes have unique presentation, & the food is okay.
The food was excellent but I would say the service wasn't anything special. The food came on time & plates cleared water filled quickly but it just seemed like no one wanted to be there. Lol.
My wife & I went there for birthday brunch. The receptionist & servers were just... there, not friendly, not rude. The menu said we were invited to their home to enjoy their meal, but I didn't feel welcomed. I felt like I was there to spend money on their food, which I did, happily.
I got their signature meal, & my wife got a cheaper course meal. Everything, from the appetizers to dessert, was well-made with lots of local stuff. I saw some clever ways they cooked the main dishes, but none of it was amazing or so good that gave me goosebumps.
On a eu une tres bonne experience,le service étais impeccable du debout just qu'à la fin,la nourriture & les decorations étais super bien fait,je vais retourner à 100% & je recommande ce restaurant pour une experience inoubliable.
We were really excited to try this place because of all the great reviews, but ran into some issues. We called ahead to ask if they had any vegan options & were told yes. But when we got there, they said they've never actually offered anything vegan. It would have been better if they didn't say yes over the phone or at least asked what vegan means if they weren't sure. Also, the place has some pretty odd art on the walls. In the end, we left & found somewhere else to eat to accommodate our vegan guest.
Nous avons opté pour le menu dégustation avec l'accord de vins premium chez L'Europea, & il faut le dire : la nourriture était excellente, le service impeccable & la présentation des plats, vraiment hors du commun. C'est ce souci du détail qui distingue clairement ce restaurant d'autres établissements de haut niveau.
Cela dit, la facture totale de plus de 1300 $ pour deux personnes nous a laissé un certain malaise. Bien que l'expérience fût raffinée & bien orchestrée, il existe plusieurs autres restaurants à Montréal qui offrent une qualité comparable - voire équivalente - à un prix nettement plus raisonnable, souvent sous la barre des 1000 $ pour deux avec accord mets & vins.
Si ce n'était du prix excessif, j'aurais donné 5 étoiles sans hésiter. Malgré tout, c'est une belle adresse à découvrir si le budget n'est pas un enjeu.
Meilleure expérience culinaire pour le prix à Montréal !! Le menu dégustation est sublime, je vous recommande fortement de l'essayer :)
Accord mets & vins possible pour 60$ par personne (3 verres qui accompagneront le repas)
