The Annual Holiday Black Tie Event was held at the world famous Europea with Chef Jerome Ferrer.  The new restaurant and menu were created by chef Jerome Ferrer and Rene Richard cyr of Cirque du Soleil fame. Europa was awarded the no 1 Restaurant in Canada and 24th in the world by Trip Advisor and won the Americas best Restaurant and bar design award.

The evening was created by members Michele Leduc and Louis Villeneuve. The wines were selected by our Cellar Master Earl Eichenbaum. 

The members enjoyed not 7 fine services, but 7 fine presentations. Each service was a mini show for all the senses. With the oysters in a salted brine we wore VR goggles to watch the fisherman in Prince Edward Island pulling up the oysters and bringing them on deck... the waiters removed our goggles and "voila" fresh oysters were sitting on the plate in front of each of us.

"Scene 4" We cooked Marshmellows on little stone firs set at the table

Always a choice of fish or meat - lobster or duck all prepared in 2 or 3 ways and presented as a mousse, foie gras and sliced .
