Ferreira Café is described as an elegant, lively institution for Portuguese dining, with refined decor, warm hospitality, and an open kitchen that adds energy to the meal. The seafood and Portuguese dishes are frequently highlighted as fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with standout items like octopus and black cod praised by many guests.

Just an update as I frequent Ferreira whenever I can. I was having some important friends visiting Montreal from the US & I wanted to make a strong impression (5 adults 3 children). Ferreira never disappoints. From the amazing attentive service, seafood tower, to the Tomahawk steaks - OUTSTANDING. We've always had an amazing experience here & is in my opinion one of the top tables in all of Montreal, dare I saw North Ameica (& I travel A LOT). Wine selection from the sommelier was perfect & helped us select a wide variety of wines from Portugal. Fantastic experience for the money. Worth every dollar. Love love love Ferreira. Keep up the great work.

It was a very busy Friday night when we arrived. Shortly after we got seated, our waitress Nicole kindly went over their daily specials & answered our questions with patience since it was our first visit there. She was knowledgeable, attentive & pleasant, so great first impression! We ordered a half dozen oysters, fish & seafood bouillabaisse & seafood rice casserole, with a tiger prawn for each. The texture & flavors are simply perfect & original, without being overpowered by the sauce. We were absolutely amazed by the quality & quantity of both dishes! Needless to say, we finished everything in the pot & loved every bite & wrapped up the night with a lovely dessert!

This was our first time visiting & has high expectations. The service was very good with attentive & genuine staff. Unfortunately, we felt like the food did not justify the price. The appetizer we wanted was not available for lack of ingredients, the other option we eventually went with (tomato salad) was overpriced in our opinion & the sides of vegetables for the catch of the day felt like an afterthought (steamed cauliflower, carrot & brocoli).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

We have had the pleasure twice of dining at Cafe Ferreira & both times have been wonderful! Last night we had oysters that we terrific & we split a whole sea bass that was perfectly prepared with simplicity & elegance. The vegetables were cooked perfectly Al dente, & the lemon pan a cotta with fresh fruit was a lovely ending to our meal. The service is professional & attentive. Ambience is lovely.
