| - We were really lucky in having an opportunity to dine at
Europea, because when we called nobody picked up but my
husband left a message. We got a very nice and friendly call back
from the restaurant stating that someone has cancelled their
reservation and that we could take their 6pm reservation.
When we first got there the exterior looked very nice
it had 2 levels but we were guided to walk towards the upper level
Once we walked it we were greeted by the hostess who offered
to check in our coats, and then we were guided to our table upstairs.
Beautiful view we had right beside of the stairs that was next to
their wine cellar, and our waiter was kind to explain the menu to us.
We are from Toronto and not all of the waiters/waitress took time to
explain how their menus work so therefore we were really happy he did.
We both picked different menus, my husband had the signature tasting
menu for $109.50 and I had the Table d'hote Discovery for $79.50
the main difference between mines and my husbands choice was obviously
with the signature tasting he had more dishes and for mines i had full
size apps and entree.
To start off our experience, it was just as our server said it will
be interesting, we had very cute amuse-boche's !!
Just like the photos shown on the site, we had the pesto and cheese
lollipops, with popcorn, homemade beef jerky, cheese cigars, and one more
item that looked like biscuits with olive oil, and fried chips !
ALL OF THE AMUSE BUSCHE WAS GOOOD !!!! hands down ! it came quick tho
hahah a bit to quick because they advise us that due to different
items that we are getting etc that timing in between meals would be off
which is fine, because me and my husband love to share food.
( forgot to mention they had risotto truffle balls ( OMG GOOD )
Overall the presentation of the food were like art presented, and
it was very creative and modern innovated. We liked how we were
very interactive with our food, and how they explained every detail
from how it's cooked to the components on our plate.
Dessert was a very cute and romantic feeling for me personally
it had cotton candy in the shape of a ball on a display with
tree branches, and they had little candies/sweets in individual
packages hung on the tree just like the photos you see. It's such
a cute thing we also had a little take away box to put in our sweets
if we couldn't finish.
At the end of our wonderful meal we met John ! Wonderful man who
explained more about the restaurant and offered to show us the kitchen.
You can see the passion he has with his job and the pride of the restaurant.
It makes every customer feel like they are just at home even when travelling
and that your in good care when your dining with them.
Overall I can go on forever if you can see with this very extensive review
I would recommend this restaurant to everyone and all of my friends
in Toronto and I look forward to coming back soon !
