La maison-mère du groupe Europea et un des fleurons gastronomiques de la métropole canadienne. Le restaurant Europea a ouvert ses portes en 2002, au cœur du centre-ville de Montréal. Élu restaurant de l’année en 2008 et 2010, il a été classé parmi les 10 meilleures tables au monde par Travellers’ choice 2012 du site Travel Advisor. Europea et son chef Jérôme Ferrer, Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux, ont acquis un prestige unique grâce à la qualité exceptionnelle de sa cuisine et de ses plats originaux créés à partir des meilleurs produits du terroir québécois.
Jérôme Ferrer - Europea est décrite comme une expérience culinaire d'exception mêlant spectacle et haute gastronomie; les plats sont souvent considérés comme des oeuvres d'art, avec des présentations théâtrales, des textures surprenantes et des saveurs globalement bien équilibrées, et l'ambiance est généralement raffinée et chaleureuse. Le service est au coeur des retours positifs, professionnel et attentif dans la majorité des repas, mais certaines expériences signalent une rotation de serveurs et un service moins homogène selon les périodes; la cuisine est louée pour son choix de produits québécois et canadiens et pour des plats stars comme le cappuccino de homard ou le wagyu, même si certains plats restent jugés gras, salés ou mal équilibrés et certains desserts peuvent paraître décevants. Le rapport prix-qualité fait débat: beaucoup estiment l'addition justifiée par l'originalité et l'etoile, d'autres la jugent excessive au regard du niveau gustatif et de la constance du service. Dans l'ensemble, c'est une adresse incontournable à Montréal pour vivre une soirée gastronomique mémorable, avec un récit culinaire fort et une atmosphère impressionnante, mais dont certains estiment que la constance et la finesse des saveurs n'atteignent pas toujours les attentes liées au prestige.
Nous avons eu le plaisir de découvrir le menu anniversaire du restaurant de Jérôme Ferrer avec mon copain, & nous avons vraiment adoré notre expérience. Le service était absolument irréprochable : attentionné, professionnel & chaleureux du début à la fin. Chaque plat était très bon & parfaitement maîtrisé, même si nous aurions parfois aimé un peu plus d'audace ou de revisite dans les saveurs. Cela dit, la qualité des produits & l'exécution étaient indéniables, ce qui a largement compensé ce petit bémol. Une très belle expérience que nous recommandons sans hésiter.
J'ai apprécié cette expérience. Elle était teintée du savoir faire de Jérome Ferrer. Je la recommande à toutes les personnes qui peuvent s'offrir cette belle opportunité.

As a one Michelin star restaurant, I expected a more refined & seamless experience, but unfortunately it did not fully meet those expectations.
The ambiance was lovely & the concept of the restaurant was clearly well thought out. The dishes were well executed & enjoyable, though not particularly exquisite or memorable at the level one might anticipate for this distinction.
The service was inconsistent. The rotation of multiple servers made the experience feel less intimate, & our main server was noticeably less attentive & polished than her peers. She came across as cold & unwelcoming, & at one point threw the receipt onto the table instead of handing it to us, which felt abrupt & disrespectful. This significantly detracted from the overall experience.
There were also a few noticeable oversights. One of the maple syrup desserts was initially left out, & we were already presented with the receipt. I had to point it out before she asked whether we preferred to have it served immediately or take it home. As the experience already felt somewhat cut short, we chose to take it to go. We were also served the apple trompe l'oeil without a spoon, which added to the sense of disorganization.
For a one Michelin star restaurant, there is certainly more to be desired. While I would not necessarily recommend it to everyone, I believe many guests may still appreciate the ambiance & overall concept.
We went for a special occasion, & left extremely disappointed. Trusting that the restaurant was a Michelin, it was extremely unprofessional & unusual to see the food & service was anything but. It felt like our waiter was in a constant rush, feeling very irritated & hostile towards us- especially since we did not speak the local french language. The food was not was not up to a Michelin star restaurant; it was bland, basic, & ultimately left us all feeling blatantly ill & sick once we left. Very heavy palate & just repetition of the same foods in different dishes, while trying to make it fancy. ! Wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone & definitely do not believe it should be labelled under a Michelin.
Wow quelle expérience, nous sommes allés pour la grande table gastronomique avec ma copine pour sa fête & nos attentes ont été complètement dépassées! Que du bon à dire, c'est plus qu'un repas c'est une expérience, je recommande fortement!
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 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.

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.
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!
My best friend & I went last week & enjoyed the tasting experience. I wanted to wait to write my review because I was conflicted due to the fact that food was incredible.
The chef is an absolute genius & every single item that hit our table was unique & delicious. The presentation was impeccable & well thought through. You can tell the man takes great pride in his artistry. We were both full & felt like we got our moneys worth for the food & experience. We've done a few Michelin Star tastings & left him hungry, so this was a pleasant surprise.
The conflicting part is that the service was not good at all. We were crammed in a side room & felt like it was a commercialized turn & burn from there on out. There was young gentleman we looked forward to when he dropped a dish off because he would take time to explain the dish & how to best consume it. Our primary server however would literally drop the dish off & quickly walk off with no explanation. We got to a point where even though the food was great we were just going to leave. After being disappointed about service I was also given the wrong coat upon our departure which may not have bother me as much if we didn't have the other occurrences.
I would recommend this place for the sole fact that the food was truly that good & to us outweighed the poor service.
Last thing i'll mention is that all staff spoke English very well which we appreciate & respect.
Trying one of 3, 1-Michelin star restaurants in Montreal. As customary with anything downtown, the driving situation was a disaster. Construction everywhere, no parking & hence gridlock, I called the restaurant to tell them we would be late. The young lady who is the hostess was kind & understanding & reassured me that all was well & to be safe. Once we finally parked, we made our way to the restaurant & were warmly greeted by the hostess & a nearby waiter kindly welcomed us as well. This would be the precedence set for the service for the rest of the night. We were seated upstairs & at first I wasn't pleased but appreciated the quiet as compared to the main floor although the decor & general atmosphere on the main floor is much better than upstairs which I found quiet but muted in terms of appeal. We were greeted by our main waiter Julian who was excellent. Friendly & efficient never missing a beat. His team included Charlotte who was also excellent as well as two other young waiters who did a great job. We decided to take the experience menu which concentrated on their signature dishes. We ordered a cocktail called the Baiser Tropical which my wife loved. Although pricey at $20, it was in a big glass & little ice so was a better value than cheaper cocktails swimming in ice for a cheaper price at competing restaurants. We received a complimentary'amuse bouche' which consisted of a foie gras & cream foam with a potato churro. This was a great start & was delectable & flavourful. The first of our menu's courses was the lobster cappuccino with an assortment of 3 different butters of which one was a candle which was lit & you could scoop up the melted butter with your bread. It resembles a brown butter taste & was my favourite. Then we had the Rock-Ferrer oysters which was a $7.50 each oyster extra but well worth the price. The oyster was expertly prepared & although it was cooked, it was still moist & retained its juices in the shell. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Then came the roast lobster which was incredible but a bit on the small side. Would have preferred the whole tail. Then finally for the savory parts, was the Angus filet. Prepared table-side & accompanied with a dual sauce consisting of foie gras & mushrooms. The sauce was delicious & the meat was well prepared but we both found the meat was not at the level we would have expected. It was solid but although medium rare, was on the dry/ultra lean side. The side of truffle mashed potatoes were ok but were under seasoned. I did like the Parmesan flower on top. Finally we got our dessert which consisted of three items. First was the chocolate crisps which were delicious as well as the maple syrup cotton candy. By far the worst item in the evening was their choice for dessert. A berry pavlova, although well executed, just missed the mark & failed to end this lovely meal on a high point & should definitely be reviewed by the restaurant as a definite swap out for a dessert more fitting of the experience & to display the level of culinary ability the chef's have. So the highs were the service & most of the food. The low points were the mashed potatoes, Angus filet & the pavlova dessert. Although the service was excellent, I felt the food came out too quickly. These are easily fixable to render an even better experience. All in all, a lovely evening & would definitely recommend.

Dining at Jérôme Ferrer was truly the best experience of my life! Every bite was pure joy, & the service was absolutely wonderful-they really make sure you enjoy every detail of the experience. The staff is so attentive, & it shows that they genuinely care about creating something unforgettable.
They offer different pricing experiences, & we chose the top one-I don't regret it for a second! The wine pairing was also perfectly matched & added so much to the evening. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an extraordinary culinary experience.
J'ai adoré l'expérience, les serveurs & les serveuses étaient vraiment rapide, serviable & aimable. Le sommelier extraordinaire!
À la réservation nous avions préciser que j'était intolérante au gluten.
Sur place & lors des services nous avions retenu cette information. Mais le résultat est très décevant. Si vous êtes intolérant ou coeliaque, je ne vous le recommande pas . Ils ne font que retirer l'élément avec gluten. Donc à plusieurs reprises je me suis retrouvé à regarder les autres manger.
Seulement deux services avait été différent pour compenser le sans gluten.
& ils offrent deux petits pains sans gluten.
L'ensemble de l'expérience était bien !
Nous avons fait par de cette déception , & nous avons été répondu que c'était une information que le Chef avait déjà eu connaissance. Mais qu'il n'y avait pas eu de changement.
Un retour pour moi au restaurant Europea après 10 ans d absence. Meme etant jeune a l epoque j avais adorer l experience en famille à l ancienne localisation. Nous sommes venu cette annee celebrer l anniversaire d un membre de la famille au nouvel emplacement. Un restaurant d une elegance & un decor incroyable au milieu du centre-ville.
L hotesse nous a acceuilli comme si nous etions chez elle. Elle a meme passe un commentaire tres gentil sur le style vestimentaire de ma copine. Cette derniere a beaucoup apprecie. La nouvelle formulaire du restaurant vous oblige de venir tester l experience 10 services qui est en realité beaucoup plus que ca.
Le premier service consiste en une multitudes d amuse bouche toutes differentes & delicieuse. Le menu propose des incontournables/classique de la maison europea tels que le capuccino (bisque) de homard. Le civet de cerf avec sa tuile de pomme de terre etait delicieux. Le point negatif de la soiree fut le service, car il n etait pas constant. Notre serveur/sommelier nous a tres bien decris les vins & recommander des bouteilles qui s orientent vers notre palette de gout. Un autre suiteur (guillaume) nous a tres bien decris les plats avec passion & une touche d humour.
Le hic fut tous les autres serveurs ou employes qui sont venus a notre table amener des plats ou debarasser. Ces derniers ne faisaient pas attention, laissaient tomber les assiete sur notre table. Lors d un des debarassage de table, un employe a eclabousser avec le jus de lingette un membre de ma famille & n ai jamais revenu nettoyer la table ni la manche asperger dans les minutes suivantes malgré le fait de l avoir remarqué. La description des plats (service) etait rapide & faible en decibel, & le serveur repartait sans avoir compris que nous voulions des precisions.
Nous sommes aller manger un samedi soir, la salle a ete rempli 2 services. Je comprends le rush de la restauration mais dans un restaurant haute gamme de ce type, certains de ces comportements ne devraient pas avoir lieu. Le prix de la degustation est equitable par rapport a la qualité du menu & l abondance, mais preparer votre portefeuille. Ceci est une experience $$$.
Coup de coeur: huitre & crevettes, soupe de champignons umami. Belle carte de vin
Dining at Jérôme Ferrer yesterday was nothing short of an unforgettable experience.
The highlight for me was the Kobe beef, which was elevated not just by its tenderness & flavor but also its presentation, starting by showing you the uncooked meat & proceeding to make a show of cooking it (& its sauce!) in front of you. The celery & miso soup was another standout, which manages to refine & sophisticate a comforting food with seemingly simple ingredients.
To accompany the dishes, you're served a wine selection, the Sommelier Divine Pairing, which is a collection of wines paired for the fish & that complemented them perfectly.
What's most impressive is that the foods maintained their passion for flavor, something that is sometimes compromised for beauty. I'll definitely be returning & highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional gastronomic experience in Montréal.

Dining at La Grande Table Gastronomique at Jérôme Ferrer Europea was nothing short of exceptional. Everything was orchestrated with such elegance, from the table presentation to the service, it was nothing short of stunning
As an avid seafood enjoyer, I was blown away by the signature lobster grill, which came with beautiful preparation. Tasting the Kobe beef no different of an experience, along with the celery & miso soup, a comforting food delivered with the restaurant's refined presentation. Each course was elevated by the Sommelier Divine Pairing, a selection of four wines that complemented the menu perfectly.
What impressed us most was how satisfying the whole menu was. Fine dining sometimes sacrifices that quality in service of beauty, which is to be expected, but we were pleasantly surprised!
Combined with the existing beauty of Montreal, it was a truly unforgettable experience, & one I would recommend for anyone seeking the best of its Michelin-starred cuisine.
Le 30 juillet dernier, j'ai réservé au Europea le restaurant de Jérôme Ferrer, maintenant 1 étoile au guide Michelin. Nous avons commandé le menu anniversaire. Nous étions déjà allé à l'ancienne adresse & la cuisine était excellente & le service irréprochable. Je m'attendais à quelque chose d'exceptionnel. Malheureusement ce fut la déception. Entrée modeste. Le fameux cappuccino de homard s'avère n'être qu'un modeste petit encas plutôt fade & sans envergure. Le plat principal est plutôt moyen, le filet de boeuf pas tout a fait a point. Visiblement notre serveur n'est pas très bien formé. Service amateur. Malgré que nous ayons la carte des vins en main & signalons au serveur vouloir commander deux verres de rosé, il ne revient jamais s'enquérir de notre choix. Nous restons avec la carte des vins sur la table. Aucun sommelier n'est visiblement sur place pour recommender des vins. Le Personnel est peu souriant, l'ambiance sombre & peu invitante. Musique formatée style chaine de resto bar. Vraiment, je me demande d'où vient l'étoile Michelin. Hum...Je crois que l'examinateur Michelin est passé à côté. Où il est passé une journée où tout était bien. Impossible pour ce restaurant de conserver encore longtemps son étoile Michelin.
I played tourist in my own city tonight, & had a fantastic experience! It is the kind of experience where time seems to pause for a moment, so you can truly admire what is right in front of you. Few restaurants have left me feeling inspired such as at Jérôme Ferrer. I am still in awe.
Being on my own adventure, I enjoyed the dinner menu at the bar, & was served by Raja. Upon arrival, I was immediately greeted with respect. As we got to talk more, he shared a sharp sense of humor (& witfully anticipated my next drinks!) His courteous playfulness set the tone for an excellent evening.
The food (or should I call it art?) was astonishing. Each dish was generous in its flavors, & beautifully elaborated, with many acknowledgements to the local terroir. The overall progression of the dishes was well curated, & felt symphonic in its rhythm.
In between courses, I toured the restaurant. The ambiance on the main floor seemed refined & elegant, yet warm & inviting. The second floor had a special touch of intimacy.
I recommend to everyone be a tourist in their city. Love you Montreal, thank you for keeping top class cuisine so close to home! & Jérôme Ferrer, I will certainly have to return with a proper date!
Première soirée chez Jerome Ferrer
Nous avons dégusté le menu anniversaire à 90$ par personne & un vin en provenance d'Espagne pour accompagner ce repas.
Nous avons réservé à 17h30 heure plus propice à échanger avec les serveurs & maître d'hôtel .
Le menu anniversaire un feux d'artifice de saveurs, un équilibre gustatif, des portions généreuses, décrites avec beaucoup de passion de la part des serveurs
Un merci particulier à Vladimir d'origine russe attachant, comédien en devenir
Les plats sont généreux, presque trop. Mais très aimablement il vous propose de rapporter avec vous les portions restantes
Très bons rapport qualité prix pour un restaurant étoilé au Michelin
Je le recommande sincèrement
MICHELIN
