Both for lunch and for dinner, the experience is amazing. The staff is extraordinary, and the food is excellent. What really stands out is the presentation and attention to detail in every meal.
Attached are photos of the lunch.
I strongly recommend !

The overall experience was excellent. We took the 8 courses meal. Everything that we ate were delicious. The service was very fast and the staff were very friendly. Special shout-out to the cappuccino lobster.

We went on April 23rd and had such a delightful time..The amuse-bouche was so wonderful and creative way to start the experience. The food is delicious and the presentation is gorgeous.
The entire staff is so friendly and kind, especially Louis.
It was our first time visiting, and we will definitely be returning on our next trip to Montréal.

Experience! experience! experience!
From deco to luxury service, from fine cuisine to wine pairing, I have to say it's an unforgettable journey at JM Europea, 4 hours of dining is like a wonderful show, will definitely go back again, average around 250$ per person

We received a very warm welcome from the staff upon arriving and walked into a beautiful and luxurious setting. As soon as we sat down, snacks quickly came and they were all delicious. I really liked the steamed mussels, and raw scallops. But I wished they would’ve come in two separate batches instead of all at once. Imagine 6-8 dishes explained to you, some hot some cold, all requiring your attention while you try to remember the ingredients that went into it. It was too overwhelming of a start. Their signature Lobster Cappuccino was great. The next courses, crab cakes and foie gras dumpling were okay, but left much to be desired. The main course for me was the biggest fault. My filet mignon arrived looking very pale brown and overcooked. Looked like oxidized meat. I’ve could’ve easily cooked a better steak at home. Just the eye of the meat had some pink, but if you cut into it, most of the meat was brown. It was probably sitting on the pass for a bit too long. The steak also lacked flavour. Maybe I just got a bad piece of meat. It just gave me the sense that the kitchen lacked cooking expertise and finesse. Maybe it’s all smoke and mirrors with no substance. The chef clearly loves the theatrics of a modern fine dining experience, borrowing tricks from Alinea and El Bulli. The mash potatoes that came with the steak had a pungent truffle aroma that didn’t really work. At some point the chef needs to realize he can’t just throw truffle oil on everything. Overall, I think this place has potential to be one of the better restaurants in Montreal, but it needs to focus on the cooking. As for desserts, I enjoyed the crepe dish. Hopefully, in a few years, the chef can refresh his menu and liven it up a little.

The service personnel is a bit awkward, probably because of the gimmicky things they know are not that well received. And the food is just not great, not sure if it’s the quality of the ingredients or poor execution of the dishes. Very similar dishes, lots of truffle flavored dishes, but also same garnish etc.
I liked the smoked salmon as part of the first dishes, the ‘cappucinno’, the tiny ice-cream apple and the snowflake (although a bit sweet).

We were too full to move after the meal.
Was served dessert. Our server came by said "Are you ready for dessert? That was pre-dessert" Then he came by with dessert. I asked if thats the last thing he said yeah yeah for sure. He lied. He came back with even more dessert...
Fantastic experience!

I went for the brunch experience, it was fairly priced but with more downs than ups. It started well, pastries were fresh and crispy. However, I couldnt understand the flow of flavours, neither plate had a conexion. The main course, I had the Salmon, was saltier than expected but the risotto de quinoa was the star of this poor show, nicely flame and well cook. The next course, which made us go to another room, increased my expectations, but again nothing to say, it was parcours. Next 3 courses, crepes, cotton candy and chocolates were ok. Because of the risotto of quinoa, I would go again but for dinner or lunch.
