Européa

Good morning everyone,

Yesterday, I went to a restaurant for my mother's birhtday located downtown montreal. It is a very chic, yet welcoming place that I strongly suggest if you are looking for a fine dining restaurant.

General:

The restaurant is called Européa and is well-known for his excellent chef, Jerôme Ferrer. This french modern cuisine is delicious and the mix of flavors is very present in every meal. Part of the "Relais & château", a collection of the most beautiful resturant and hotels around the world, Européa is really the place to celebrate any special occasion.

Favorite Food: Everything is impeccable and delicious. For my part, I took the giant scallops and was very pleased. The meal is quite rich and creamy but excellent! If you are not difficult with food, you should really consider the tasting menu. My parents took it and it looked divine. From foie gras to deer and ricotte ravioli, every plate is the right size (not too big or too small) to enjoy a great dinner. Finally, I loved the lime sorbet covered with white chocolate that they served befor dessert.

Other: The restaurant is beautiful (located in a victorian house) and modern, but is not over-the-top. The staff is very welcoming and always there to explain every meal. Also, at the europea, you are treated like royalty: about 10 times during the evening, they come with little tapas like goat cheese lollipops or lobster capuccino. Overall, the experience is great, but I really suggest you to forget about your lunch that day if you want to be able to keep up with all that you will eat that night!

 Cost : For dinner,, a starter and a mealt would cost about 60$, the tâble d'hôte is 65 $ (5 courses meal) and the tasting menu is 95$ (9 courses meal).
