✨ Jérôme Ferrer Europea Enters the Legend
A Michelin Star to Celebrate 23 Years of Culinary Excellence in Montreal
Montreal, Thursday, May 15, 2025 – With great emotion, Relais & Châteaux Chef Jérôme Ferrer, a member of Les Grandes Tables du Monde and Maître Cuisinier de France, proudly announces today that his restaurant, Jérôme Ferrer Europea, has been awarded a Michelin star.
A prestigious distinction that crowns more than two decades of excellence, passion, and creativity in service of Montreal’s haute gastronomy.
“True success is measured by the people around us.
This star belongs first and foremost to my team — my professional family — 40% of whom have been with me since the very beginning.
I dedicate this recognition to them, as well as to our families, friends, loyal guests, and valued suppliers,” said the visibly moved chef.
But this global recognition also marks the beginning of a bold new chapter:
the restaurant Jérôme Ferrer Europea is reinventing itself entirely.
⸻
Three experiences, one passion: making gastronomy accessible to all
“Today, while many chase stars,
I want to make them shine in our guests’ eyes.
I want to cook for everyone — not just for an elite.”
⸻
Starting now, the restaurant is adopting a brand-new structure with three complementary experiences:
⸻
1. The Grand Gastronomic Table – Chef Jérôme Ferrer Europea
⸻
2. La Table Gourmande – The Chef’s Shared Feast
⸻
3. The Chef’s Counter – Jérôme Ferrer To-Go
And also:
▪️ 3-course lunch menu for $50 (glass of wine included)
▪️ $45 dinner menu before shows and events at the Bell Centre
⸻
🌟 One star… and an even bigger heart
This bold transition is the result of deep reflection.
After 23 years in gastronomy, the chef now wants to offer more than just plates —
he wants to offer memories.
“You no longer come just to eat well…
You come to celebrate life.”
⸻
A love letter to cuisine… and to Montreal
“After 35 years of cooking, I’ve come to understand that true luxury is touching people,
making smiles appear.”
