Stopped by for a quiet Sunday morning breakfast & the room had that low golden light coming through the windows that made the whole space feel calm before the brunch rush hit. Went with the eggs benedict & it came out perfectly poached, not the rubbery mess you get at half these tourist-trap places in Old Montreal. Our server clocked that I was juggling a suitcase & offered to stash it behind the host stand without me even asking, which is the kind of small thing you notice after a dozen hotel breakfasts this year. Cobblestone views out front, unhurried pace, & coffee that actually got refilled without me flagging anyone down, it's easy to see why locals keep coming back.

Um pouco ruidoso, mas óptimo para matar as saudades de casa. O polvo à lagareiro estava muito bom

A very lively & busy restaurant for a good reason, the food & service was excellent. Crispy octopus may have been my favourite dish on my entire trip in Montreal. I will be back again to try more.

We had such a wonderful meal at Ferreira Café in Montreal! 🦐🦑 The grilled squid was fresh, tender, & absolutely delicious, & the seafood paella was packed with fresh, flavorful seafood. You can really taste the freshness in every bite!

The only small downside was that the seafood rice had a slightly grainy texture, likely from some of the clams & mussels. Aside from that, everything was delicious & beautifully prepared. Overall, a lovely dining experience & definitely a place we would come back to! ❤?
