Jerome Ferrer Europea - Montréal

I went for the brunch experience, it was quite expensive, but with more down than ups. it started well, baked were fresh and crispy. I could not understand, however, that the taste flows, and no plate had a conexion. the main course, I had the laughs, was more salty than expected, but the risotto de quinoa was the star of this bad show, nice flame and well cook. the next cure that went us into another room increased my expectations, but again nothing to say it was parcours. next 3 courses, crepps, cotton sweets and chocolates were ok. due to the risotto of quinoa I would go again, but to dinner or lunch.

Absolutely incredible! I don't want to spoil any piece of this experience as going in semi-blind keeps the childlike wonder this environment has cultivated.Delicious, fun and so unbelievably original. We got the 8 course meal and it was unlike any dining experience I'd ever had. 10/10, definitely taking family and friends here for an unforgettable night!

10 course signature tasting menu, King Snow Crab. Creamy Crab Cake with Lemon peel confit and Crab Claw. A rather interesting taste, a little on the heavy side because of the cream. Definitely culinary art, at its finest.I’ve always wasted to visit this dinning place as I heard the experience is gastronomy experience. This restaurant delivery just that.

Ok, I admit, it's quite an experience. The presentation was outstanding and the service exceptionnel. The drawback, ignoring pricing, is there is way too much food and we're talking about a 4 hours meal. For hyper active people, it's quite a long time to sit (although they do take you through a very interesting walk but I won't spoil the surprise).

The main question is what do you expect or accept for more than $500 for a dinner for 2.Assuming that for you, it is a lot to shell out, then there are circumstances when the specialness of the occasion or circumstances warrant that.The food is exquisite, but not consistently so. For example flambé crepes are pre-made and doughy, the sauce ..amazing...but still.The dinner is experiential and a lot of thought went into creating an experience but not a huge amount int whether that is a good experience. Elements of that are nice and other elements of it are not. There's lots of dry ice and smoke, sometimes it adds something, sometimes it is distracting. The tour in the kitchen is great, no issues and it added something, the eating a something or other out of a tin can in the sugar shack' mock up, maybe appeals to tourists and people that photograph the entire meal, but had we known what awaited us would have skipped it, my partner didn't even eat it and the tip jar full or notes so subtle we hardly noticed it. Some less positive reviews say gimmicky, that is a bit harsh, but at times it rang true. And gimmicks are used to hide flaws, and so given that the food didnt have many flaws, it seemed a bit unnecessary at times.The second we sat down we were bombarded by maybe four of 5 amuse bouche with mumbled descriptions so we had no idea what they were. When we asked for a few minutes to warm up and get settled we were told by three staff that the chef is from the south of France and that is how it is done. We got shirty and worse... they got shirty, back. It kind of ruined the beginning. For a start assuming we have never eaten in top restaurants in the south of France, is pretty annoying, we might be anglo or look stupid , (and the question what are you celebrating tonight again assumed a lot), but the bottom line is, it is minus too many degrees outside, parking in the snow is a pain in the neck, and being told how to enjoy your evening is unnecessary. Maybe destabilising people is the intent and some people love it. We tried hard not to let it get to us and in the end it didnt. But a pointless stressor.So it was a nice evening, it was unique and memorable, bits of it were not a good as they could have been, it is expensive and mostly with accompanying value but bits of it I think could easily be improved. The food generally is excellent, some bits were good but not excellent. I am glad we went but unlikely to return. If you are visiting Montreal and like great food, I guess you should go if you can afford it. If you live here, there are excellent alternatives. How many will survive the constant opening and closing restrictions we will find out..
