Diner Reviews

"My husband and I went for it all here a 3 hr marathon of food. The chef did not disappoint. Food was fantastic and presented very creatively. Loved every one of our 13 courses."

"My girlfriend and I ate at Europea at lunch on February 26. She had the prix fixe menu at $35 in coordination with Montreal's Festival en lumiere and I had the $60 tasting menu with wine pairing. Starting with an interesting amuse bouche, everything served was excellent, including a bit of lobster, some lamb, steak, and a selection of desserts. The wine pairings were a bargain, 4 excellent rich wines for $30. After dessert there were some more treats, which we took in a box. The service was attentive and impeccable. The experience could have not been better - a bargain!"

"My husband and I loved the imaginative food and presentations in the 12 course tasting menu we chose. Highlights included the smoked salmon in a box that emitted a puff of smoke when it was opened, "tagliatelle" made of squid served in a hollowed out stone and the sweet tree with pink candy floss flowers and dangling wrapped treats. And the black current macaron was outstanding. The service was friendly, attentive and efficient. We were amazed at the staff's ability to keep straight the service at all the tables with multiple courses. This is definitely a special occasion place - don't plan on hurrying through a meal to get someplace else."

"J'y suis allée pour mon anniversaire et ce fût un moment inoubliable: accueil très chaleureux, rien de pompeux ou intimidant, le choix des vins est diversifié et permet d'agréables découvertes et que dire de la nourriture ! On nous a apporté plusieurs mises en bouche toutes savoureuses et fréquemment présentées de façon fort originale. Nous étions cinq et nous avons tous apprécié nos plats. Enfin, le service est très sympathique et empressé. Bref, le restaurant par excellence lorsque l'on veut se gâter !"

"One of the best dining experiences we've ever had. Not cheap, but worth every penny. Serious food place that doesn't itself too seriously. Not only great food, but a great time."

"More than dinner, Europea is an experience. We have the good fortune of enjoying many Michelin starred restaurants and all I can say is that the Michelin people are missing out by not rating restaurants in Montreal because this would definitely get three stars. The food is not only delicious but fun, creative and inspired. Be prepared for just one surprise after another. Also, the service was impeccable. All in all one of the finest dining experiences I have ever had and one I will always remember. If you are in Montreal this is not to be missed."

"No word to discribe this place. The best quality food, best service, and most generous potion. Every single thing I ate was delicious. Highly recommended."

"My wife and I recent took a trip to Montreal Canada. Open Table helped us find this gem of a restaurant. I wanted our last night to be memorable and Europa made it just that. The entire dining experience was like something out of a movie. They serviced us a seven course mean and ever course was an exciting adventure. From the cigar box filled with cigar like eatable treats to the tiny candle laced trees. This experience we will never forget and will always be high on our list of places to visit when in Montreal. I was also very helpful that they did not make us feel stupid because we could not read anything on the menu. The wait staff was very accommodating to us. Thank you very much."

"We loved this restaurant from beginning to end and all the special little surprises in between! I won't say too much here about the extras (I do not want to give away the little secrets ) but they were amazing. We especially loved the sensory experience of the desserts :) my husband had the filet of beef and I had the succulent scallops. The mushroom soup was delicious as was the endive appetizer. This was one of the top dining experiences we have had, we usually read reviews and this lovely spot lived up to the rave reviews. Our waitress was delightful and a bit of an actor herself with her presentation of the special elements if the meal! Cannot wait to return to Montreal and go back to Europea for a fine, fine dining experience!"

"It was a perfect dining : the food was delicious, the people were warm and very professional. If we come back to Montreal, we have to go to Europea."

"From the thank you note from the chef to the multi- tasking staff, everything was of the highest standard and thoughtfulness. The food was wonderful and fun and I believe the service was very personal to each and every customer. This restaurant sets the highest standard for restaurants to model themselves on. Thank you for a very memorable evening."

"This restaurant is an experience - the food is terrific, with a variety of presentations that you won't see anywhere! The service is perfect, everybody is kind and want you to enjoy your experience! I certainly recommand this restaurant to anyone who wants to celebrate something special or to enjoy a terrific meal."
Dined on 1/26/2014
"Yes, it's expensive, but you get your money's worth. The food is first rate and the (literally) dozen or so extras are highly original and entertaining."
Dined on 1/26/2014
"This is our second time at Europea and it's most definitely surpassed our amazing first experience. This is by far the best restaurant experience in the world. It is a must go if you ever visit Montreal!!"
Dined on 1/25/2014
"This was the most multi-sensory and exciting dining experience I've ever had! Perfect for a special occasion...the tasting menu is a must! The food was delicious and the flavours were wonderfully complex! The presentation was full of surprises, and beyond wimsical! The service was spectacular overall, but our waiter Aymeric was exceptional. This restaurant far exceeded my expectations!"

"Nourriture délicieuse, service impeccable. Tout plein de petites attentions. C'était notre première visite et certainement pas la dernière!"

"We went here as a group based an a recommendation. So glad we did. I'd recommend going hungry and getting the tasting menu. We unfortunately had had a large afternoon snack and only ordered the 3 course pre-fixe. Everything was amazing. Michael, our server, was so funny and welcoming. The food was so inventive and delicious. There were so many extra tastes and nibbles in between our courses that we were absolutely stuffed when we left. Can't wait to go back and eat there again. To quote my 9 year old daughter "I know it's not real magic, but this place feels like magic!""
Dined on 1/19/2014
"This is the 4th or 5th time, we have eaten at this restaurant over the last 5 years, but we had not been there for a couple of years. We had the menu dégustation and as usual it was excellent. Our waiter was great as were all the staff. It was a fitting place to celebrate our son's 21st. Highly recommended."
Dined on 1/12/2014
"This is one of the best Restos I have been to. The second best I have been to in Canada (the first being The Rim Rock in Banff). Amazing service, very creative food, fantastic presentation. Overall, a wonderful experience. I highly highly recommend the tasting menu. I am very picky about restaurants and I had nothing to complain about."

"The food is exquisite, the service excellent. Best overall experience."

"I believe the word "fun" has been widely abused but in this case it is uniquely applicable. We had the tasting menu and every plate was a surprise, from prosciutto literally hung like laundry in Umbria, a small salmon canapé emerging from the wood smoke pouring out of the "book" that contained it all, a lovely slice of scallop with a touch of melon presented on a shell as a 'fried egg' and a scrumptious poached quail egg presented as an egg! The main dishes were just as inventive and the desserts I will not spoil with inadequate descriptions. In the midst of this "fun" do not miss the 'yuzu freezing mist'! The setting is delightful and the service agréeable. If you can get a reservation, bon appétit!"

"Nous étions un groupe de 10 personnes et nous avons tous apprécié le menu dégustation. Les plats étaient exquis et service était attentionné sans être trop lourd."

"Repas du midi très copieux très savoureux. Réservez un temps (2.5hrs) pour apprécier toutes les assiettes. Excellent services aimables et belle attention avec petit cadeau"
Dined on 12/18/2013
"Try to imagine the following: the sheerest tagliatelle mounted like a fountain and it's NOT pasta, it IS squid. Shredded squid: so smooth, so succulent, so delicious you wonder who you might have to kidnap to get the recipe. Ok, a slight exaggeration, squid should not lead to a life of crime but something as good as this dish maybe should be against the law?"
Dined on 12/18/2013
"We had VERY high expectations of our first experience at Europea, and every one of our expectations were exceeded. It was truly an outstanding culinary experience; delicious and unexpectedly whimsical presentations. The service was perfect and unpretentious. Thank you, we will most certainly be back!"
Dined on 12/12/2013
"It really is an experience to dine here. Ask for a tour of the kitchen; it's a neat to see how much work and care goes into creating each plate."
Dined on 12/6/2013
"It was extremely difficult to enjoy the food as the room temperature was extremely hot and dry. The temperature had to be 80+ in the month of December . We were given a "special" table for 4 in its own room but there was no air vent so even after requesting they turn on the a/c it was ineffective. We all had the 12 course tasting menu for which the presentation was terrific but for the most part the food was just slightly above average . The cost of the meal and wine pairing with tip was just short of $1,000 and by no means was worth it."
Dined on 12/5/2013
"This restaurant is a must if you want French food in Montreal. Request the chef's table. You get to watch the action in the kitchen. Plus, your dining experience is excellently paced (no rush). We ordered the 10-course tasting menu (but we got 15 courses or so). We were so full, but it was absolutely worth it!"
Dined on 11/30/2013
"For a great meal in Montreal, come here! Prix fixe dinner for less than $80 (Canadian) with many little "extras" and surprises. As a single diner I sometimes feel a bit ostracized - not here! Highly recommend the veal cheeks, the maple smoked salmon (an extra the night I was there), and the desserts (yes, you get multiple), but I doubt if you'd go wrong with any choice."
Dined on 11/28/2013
"We had a great time! The servers were so attentive and knowledgeable and the food was plated in such a creative and unique way that you almost didn't want to disturb the presentation so you could eat it. The chef is a genius and the food was delicious. Can't wait to come back!"
Dined on 7/21/2013
"We booked Europea as soon as we knew we were visiting Montreal. It deserves it's reputation of being one of the best restaurants in Canada, it was on a par with some of the best restaurants in New York and Las Vegas. We had the tasting menu which was simply 3 1/2 hours of pure food heaven. So many stand out dishes, if you can head to Europea for that special meal."
Dined on 11/25/2013
"Very much a dinner as theater experience, but the food was pretty wonderful too. Lots of experimental presentations. We went with a la carte due to lack of time for the full tasting menu experience, but they gave us so many extras it ended up feeling very much like a tasting menu progression. Would be lots of fun for a special occasion."
Dined on 7/3/2013
"A once in a lifetime experience for a not so rich foodie like me. Thank you Mtl à Table for giving a chance to sample greatness."
Dined on 11/7/2013
"You will be amazed by the outstanding service and the food at this restaurant!"
Dined on 11/3/2013
"We had a three hours meal here and didn't even realize the time. Service was impeccable. Food was divine with so many little special touches between the dishes. Fine dining without the pretentiousness of a French restaurant. Would highly recommend this to someone who is celebrating something or just a special occasion with your significan other. Reserve early as sold out routinely. Bon appetit!!"
Dined on 10/17/2013
"I definitely would return. The " mises en bouches" are an experience by themselves. Prepare yourself for a long night, as the service was well-timed but slow on purpose to help you enjoy all the dishes. Great wines"
Dined on 11/1/2013
"Every course was a sensory delight. This is not a place for a quick dinner, it is and event to be savored. The sign outside is a bit cheesy, but inside is an amazing gastronomic adventure. We loved it!"
