Inventive French plates & tasting menus in an urbane townhouse setting
"Housed in an ultra-modern architectural setting with towering windows bathing the interior in light, this restaurant offers diners a wonderful view of the brigade at work in the glass-paned kitchen. The chef is the son of farmers from France. Fusing French culinary traditions with the riches of Quebec's terroir, his menu celebrates premium ingredients: lobster from the Magdalen Islands, king crab, Appalachian red deer, scallops and caviar. Fragrant consommés, velvety creams, and complex sauces point to significant culinary expertise. The meal is also suffused with nostalgia: crispy pork rinds are served with the aperitif; there is a maple pre-dessert. Silver service brings a pleasant theatrical element to your table." - Michelin Inspector
"Housed in an ultra-modern architectural setting with towering windows that bathe the room in light and offer a view of the brigade at work in the glass-paned kitchen, this table sees French culinary traditions fused stylishly with Québec’s finest terroir. The chef, the son of farmers from France, has carved out his niche in the Belle Province, and the menu celebrates local riches—lobster from the Magdalen Islands, king crab, Appalachian red deer, scallops, and caviar—rendered with fragrant consommés, velvety creams, and complex sauces that showcase great expertise. The meal is suffused with nostalgia (crispy pork rinds served with the aperitif; a maple pre-dessert nodding to North America’s sugar shacks), while silver service adds a pleasant theatrical flourish. At Jérôme Ferrer – Europea, those traditions and terroir merge into a single melting pot." - The MICHELIN Guide
"While somewhat of a tourist haunt, Jérôme Ferrer’s flagship restaurant may not hit the absurd high notes that some claim, but it still does a solid job. Both the tasting and discovery menus are safe bets, featuring dishes like pan-fried foie gras in passion fruit gremolata and fizzy candy. Diners take note: The restaurant requests that customers dress in “business casual” to eat here, and that’s saying a lot for Montreal." - JP Karwacki, Holly Tousignant
"I noted that Jérôme Ferrer's flagship Europea closed its original downtown location and reopened a short distance away at the corner of de la Montagne and René‑Lévesque under the slightly rebranded name “Jérôme Ferrer par Europea,” with a new interior, added lounge, brasserie, and tea room while the formal dining room—renamed La Grande Table—keeps a similar approach." - Eater Staff
"Having closed its original location and moved down the street to the corner of de la Montagne and René‑Lévesque inside the Roccabella building, the rebranded “Jérôme Ferrer par Europea” presents a refreshed interior and an expanded operation that adds a lounge, a brasserie with a more casual bistro menu, and a tea room while keeping a formal dining room under the new name “La Grande Table.”" - Eater Staff
