Expérience hors du commun au Ferreira Café! Les calamars en entrée, la morue noire grillée & le gâteau au citron étaient exceptionnels! Le service au petit soin & l'atmosphère chaleureuse ont rendu ce moment unique. Je reviendrai pour un prochain date avec la femme de ma vie!View more

Ferreira Café hardly needs an introduction-its reputation speaks for itself. I didn't take pictures because the food was so good, we were too busy enjoying it. From the simplest tomato salad & perfectly cooked calamari to the olives & every bite of the main dishes, everything was fresh, flavorful, & expertly done. It's the kind of place you know you'll return to, no question.View more

I just had the best time at Cafe Ferreira for a work event! We came in at 9 PM with a group of 10, & we were treated to a fabulous table d'hote menu featuring steak, prawns, veggies, & mushroom risotto. Everything was served buffet style, which was so convenient & fun, & it even came with dessert! I have to say, the prawns & the risotto were definitely my favorites - they were absolutely delicious! The service was amazing, too; the staff was super attentive & always there for refills. Overall, it was such a great spot for our group event, & I can't recommend it enough!View more

I had the pleasure of dining at Ferreira Cafe twice in four days, first for lunch & then for dinner. I have to tell you, if you are Montreal, this place is a must for at least a meal. The restaurant is elegant & gives a real "sense of occasion" without being stuffy or uptight. The staff is warm & helpful & is able to accommodate both French & English. I am so grateful that staff were extremely patient with my French, I'm still learning & need the practice! At time of writing, they still have the outdoor sitting, which looks very lovely but not my taste. The people looked very happy & it if decorated beautifully. & the food. Wowowowowow. At lunch we were told the specials & they were doing one of my favourite things as a special - salmon tartare. It was incredible. Probably the best salmon tartare I've ever had. The salmon was perfectly fresh, the dish was a perfectly balanced & seasoned & the intriguing garnishes were delightful. I will admit that everyone I spoke to for the rest of my time in Montreal had to listen to how excellent the salmon tartare was. I kept replaying in mind how very perfect it was. Our lunch waiter was extremely helpful with our wine selection - usually at lunch my dining partner & I would have white, but I've been having a palette issue & lost my taste for the more acidic whites. Our waiter suggested a rose that was the perfect companion to my meal & I greatly enjoyed it. Now for our dinner. After that perfect lunch I had a lot of confidence dinner would also be incredible. & it was! We took a dear friend to dinner & he was thrilled with every moment of dinner. We were so lucky & felt that we were seated at the best table in the house. My husband & friend indulged in a perfectly made Vesper & perfectly made Martini. I had a lovely glass of wine. None of us opted for the daily specials, but it was a very difficult decision. They all sounded so good, so did the menu! Our appetizers were all tasty, beautiful & so good to eat. Our friend marveled at the beauty of the restaurant & how amazing our table was. I have to make special mention of the sommelier, he was so very helpful in assisting us finding a white that was complimentary to all our mains & also one that I greatly enjoyed. I realize that losing the love of more acidic whites is a problem, & it was handled by the sommelier beautifully, thank you again. The portions were incredible & I don't mind telling you I couldn't finish mine. Our meals were presented beautifully - I had the bouillabaisse & it was presented in a Le Creuset in one of their intriguing shades of blue. My husband was also served his main in a Le Creuset, in a different share of blue! I'm trying to tell you, if you are Montreal or plan on being in Montreal, this place is a must for people who love fish & seafood. I'm already looking forward to the next time we are in Montreal & able to have a meal here. For me, it's lunchtime. I'll be thinking about the salmon tartare...View more

The name "cafe" in the restaurant, I didn't expect to be $$$. It was near the hotel we were staying, so we were able to get reservations. It was very good but it expensive! Thank goodness I was celebrating my birthday! So it kinda justifies the splurge. Getting 4 stars bc it was more expensive than I expected. Service was great, the rice seafood casserole n risotto comes in a pot served nice n hot. The seafood bouillabaisse was good. The giant shrimp was undercooked. I know seafood is expensive. But wow! I almost fainted when I saw the bill! CA$400 w tip. The pastel the Nata was ok, was not crispy as the ones I had in Lisbon, $11 for 2? Not worth it. Skip it. Since it was my birthday I hit a nice candle w my dessert. So nice! I forgot my phone so I didn't get to take pics. So my sis send them to me. Also the lighting was dark so the foid pics didn't come out good.View more

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dining at the Ferreira Cafe was an exquisite culinary experience from start to finish. The moment we stepped into the beautifully decorated establishment, we were greeted with warm & attentive service that set the tone for the evening. The seafood offerings were truly exceptional, with the blackened cod standing out as a masterpiece of flavor & presentation. Each bite was a delightful blend of perfectly balanced spices & melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, showcasing the chef's impeccable skill & passion for Portuguese cuisine. The ambiance of the Ferreira Cafe is equally impressive, combining sophisticated decor with a cozy & inviting atmosphere that made our dining experience truly memorable. The attention to detail in both the food & the surroundings is evident, creating a perfect harmony that elevates the entire dining experience. For anyone seeking an outstanding meal in an elegant setting, I highly recommend the Ferreira Cafe. It is a gem that promises an unforgettable culinary journey. We will undoubtedly be returning to savor more of their delectable dishes.View more

We flew to Mtl from Toronto for my birthday in January. Made a reso & told them we're flying in to spend my bday dinner at Café Ferreira & it was fabulous! They wished me a happy birthday & were so sweet. We started with the grilled sardines (so yummy, we always have them) & a glass of champagne! Them moved on to the fish filet of the day (never dissapoints it was amazing) with the perfect Portuguese wine recommended by our wait person. & she surprised us with a selection of miniature version of their most popular desserts, on the house & more birthday wishes. This is THE best seafood restaurant in Mtl...I highly recommend it. The atmosphere is chic yet not intimidating at all, the food is fabulous & the service is exceptional! In a city where good food is the norm, Café Ferreira's food & service is hors pairs!View more

Recently, I had the opportunity to dine at Ferreira Cafe, & my overall experience was truly remarkable, largely due to the exceptional service provided by our waiter, Marco. Marco's service was flawless throughout our meal. He greeted us with a warm smile, making us instantly feel at ease. His extensive knowledge of the menu was truly impressive, & he suggested dishes that were not only delicious but also harmoniously paired with each other. One aspect that stood out was Marco's meticulous attention to detail. From recommending a wine pairing that perfectly complemented our meal to ensuring our table was set up to perfection, Marco consistently exceeded expectations. His patience was particularly commendable. Amidst the bustling atmosphere, he never rushed us or made us feel hurried to order or finish our meal. His professionalism & courtesy were evident in every interaction. In summary, Marco's exceptional service & attention to detail make him a standout waiter. I wholeheartedly recommend Ferreira Cafe & would be delighted to have Marco serve us again in the future. 5 Stars!View more

Funny story. I was with a visitor, & it was time to eat but so late that many places were closed. I did a quick Google search as we wandered in the rain for a nearby spot that was decent but affordable. I chose this establishment, as I recognized the name & assumed that as it was Ferreira CAFÉ, that it was the simplified bistro/café within the Ferreira restaurant group. I was expecting a small selection of soups, salads, paninis, viennoisseries, coffee. While I might have gotten clued in when we were asked if we had had reservations, I only fully realized my enormous mistake once we were smoothly seated, our wet coats taken to the cloak room, & I opened the menu & started examining it. 🫠😆 Omg. I was mortified. I am currently at a point in my life where I am conserving the last few dollars on my Starbucks account as a special treat for myself for around the Winter Holidays. I am not at a point in my life where I can casually wander into one of Montreal's most famous fine dining experiences. Fortunately, it was simply funny, & we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at a pleasantrestaurantwith excellent service. I ordered the bread basket... in part because I actually wasn't very hungry, & also because I wasso mortified & it was $5. It was a small sliced fresh crusty sourdough roll with a wonderful fluffy, soft crumb, served to perfection with little cups of herbaceous olive oil & seasoned olives. We shared the tasting dessert plate of their Portugese specialties, which was simply everything I could have possibly wanted, tasty & beautifully presented. Rich, creamy chocolate mousse, delicate rice pudding, warm churros. Perfection. Not only do I have a new amusing vignette to share in conversation, but I have finally been to the one & only Ferreira Café. Which is not a café. Don't make my mistake!View more

The food & the atmosphere was amazing. The waiter Mike was friendly & always made sure we were taken care of. This is the best service & experience by far & they went above & beyond my expectations. We never waited for anything & the whole team at Ferreira’s worked together to ensure their guests were happy, & were never waiting for service. Our waters were always filled without asking. Our wine glasses were always being filled & it was not overwhelming at all & just right. The food is to die for & I will definitely be a return customer. Thank you to the staff at Ferreira Cafe for the best experience.View more

I went with a few friends & we all love the food being prepared so freshly. We can see lots of employees working seriously in the open kitchen preparing the food. They seem to know what they are doing, especially the person who prepares the fresh fish.
We enjoyed the food & the good service. Thank you Ferreira Cafe for the good experience.View more
