Europeo recently changed ownership and we were worried that the level of food and service might have dropped. We did not need to worry. The new owner trained under Chef Mayer for years and seems determined to keep up the good work and the reputation for this fantastic restaurant.
The food is described as French, but don´t expect the classics, it is better described as International, in my opinion, as for example, the Tuna has a delicious red curry sauce and lemon grass skewers.
The service is professional, not chatty or hovering, but sophisticated. We mentioned to our waiter that we wanted to share our entrees and that we were in no hurry. He brought one entree at a time, cleared the first and gave us a small break before bringing the next, which we thought was a great touch.
Mains are between 9,000 and 20,000 ($18 - $40) and don´t miss the impressive Grand Marnier Souffle for 2.
We had 2 entrees, 2 mains and the souffle and there was not one dish that less fantastic than another. One can order with eyes closed!
Only criticism (hopefully management reads this) is the abysmal music. We are not fussy when it comes to music and have very eclectic taste, but the meal (we were there for around 2 1/2 hours) was accompanied by Nora Jones and something that sounded like the Carpenters. Some smarter music choices will greatly enhance the atmosphere.
Ideal for couples (no children), business lunches or a meal with friends. There is a smoking section, but the main part of the restaurant is non smoking and they have just added an outdoor seating area, presumably for pre dinner drinks, or a more casual meal.
We will definitely be back soon.
