This was my favorite place for a long time for fresh seafood & fine dining.
However my latest visit is anything but pleasant.
I visit on a Monday evening, the place is still relatively busy as they recently received a Michelin recommendation. The host sit me at the bar, when I ask if I can take the seat at the end she said she would save it for other reservations. I have no problem with that but the seats remain empty til I left.
It took a while before anyone greeted me & take my orders. I'm a simple person & since I visited here so many times before I already know what I wanted & placed my order quickly: include a pan seared dore sole as my main dish.
Now here is the problem, I got a fish with a ruptured gallbladder, which happens once a while & can make the flesh very biter, it's a common problem when cleaning the fish. I made a mistake of not sending it back right away, as on the top side it was not so notable. But when I got to the bottom part it's so biter as the flesh has soaked up the gallbladder juices, I have to stop.
The stuff noticed that & ask me if everything is ok. I said I don't think the fish is cleaned( as in by the fish man) properly. That's when they got really defensive & keep saying that why they want to clean (meaning deboning) the fish for the customer, for the customer. But I doubt that would change anything about a gallbladder juice soaked fish. & the two of them keep saying that I should let them to'clean the fish' for me just killed all appetite for me.
I don't know what have change but clearly not what I expecting from a Michelin recommendation Restaurant.View more

We were visiting from Toronto to celebrate my mother's 82nd birthday & enjoyed her birthday dinner at Ferrerira. All the staff were most welcoming & made my mother's evening so special. We were fortunate to have a table by the kitchen & watched the chefs work their magic & appreciated their efforts in the fine details in preparing the dishes. We all had seafood & found the portions a good size but more importantly were fresh & delicious! The sardine & scallop ceviche apps should not be missed. The fresh grilled fish of the day was simple but so tasty & the bouillabaisse was cooked to perfection. Nicole, our server, was absolutely lovely! She was so kind to our family & provided dessert for our table. My mother was so touched by this gesture. We would like to thank the Ferreria team for going above & beyond to make my mother's Montreal birthday such a memorable one. Merci!View more

Ferreira est & restera une véritable institution montréalaise. Au fil des ans, ce restaurant a su conserver une constance impressionnante, tant dans la qualité de ses plats que dans l'excellence de son service. Chaque bouchée est un pur délice - des plats décadents, raffinés & toujours impeccablement exécutés. L'expérience est sublimée par un personnel d'un professionnalisme remarquable, attentif, chaleureux & toujours à l'écoute. Une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de cuisine portugaise haut de gamme.View more

Went here after reading a lot of hype about it. It was just ok. We waited about 15min with a reservation at 9pm. For appetizers we had shrimp crudo & a sardines dish. For main dishes we had the duck confit & the octopus. Everything was beautifully presented. The shrimp crudo was interesting in a good way. The sardines were yummy but underwhelming. The duck & risotto was good. The risotto comes on the plate & also in the Le Creuset pot it was cooked in. It was tender & tasty. The octopus was disappointing. I ordered it because it's something I would not prepare at home. It was not flavorful enough & the greens it came on were so bitter, it was hard to eat. The atmosphere is quite loud & bustling & you can tell the team takes pride in serving & they work well as a team. I found it to be over priced. Some places I'm excited to return to visit. I will not be coming back here but I'm glad I had the chance to try it.View more
