If Ferreira Café has quickly established itself as one of the best restaurants in town, there is no mystery: a visionary owner, an inspired chef, high quality products and a talented and dedicated team. In Montreal, Ferreira Café gives the Portuguese cuisine all its nobility.
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. Service is repeatedly praised for attentiveness and knowledge, and the wine list and desserts are noted as excellent. Some visits note premium pricing and occasional inconsistencies such as food not arriving hot or slower service during peak times, leading some to question value. Overall, these reviews converge on Ferreira Café as a memorable Montreal dining destination for special occasions, business meals, or a lively night out, while a handful of experiences suggest room for refinement.
The food was really good, especially the Rice with seafood & lobster as well as rice with duck. Octopus was super delicious. Salmon tartare needs more flavor such as soy sauce, for example, & more seasoning. Restaurants are always crowded during lunch break time . Some music will add a nice atmosphere to the place.
Très bonne place, belle ambiance & un incontournable. La ville de Montréal les a mis dans une situation incroyable. Ils n'ont pas de coeur comparé à ferreire. Je vous souhaite tout le succès que vous méritez avec le travail fort derrière les nuits que vous ne dormez pas en pensant au bien-être des clients.

J'ai TOUJOURS aimé leur cuisine raffinée, l'ambiance & le service hors pair. Je n'étais pas là lors de la F1... mais j'apporte mon support au Ferreira suite à l'attitude sauvage du service d'inspection des pompiers pendant la f-d-s la plus achalandée de l'année. J'ai hâte que Valérie Plante soit déplantée... & je réclame le congédiement du directeur des pompiers de Montréal qui a accordé cet acte ignoble !
Lovely place for couples, business dinners, & family. Their menu has a great selection for fishes & wines. The Seabream & the grouper fishes with veggies on the side as entrees, along with fish ceviche & sardines as appetizers were simply all delicious. Their sommelier also helped us choose a wonderful white wine to accompany our meals.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.
Not so familiar with Portuguese food, but I think that was a plus for us, everything we tried was a bit unexpected in addition to being expertly prepared & delicious. We had a lovely scallop ceviche that was nuanced, not the lime bomb you often get (which I also like!) Fish & seafood is the reason to come, but the carnivores will be pleased with the ribeye & other trad meat dishes. The bar was happening, the cocktails & mocktails were fun & tasty. Our server was a total pro. All around great dining experience.
Had dinner here last night on recommendations from a friend. Decor is awesome, very inviting. Waiter was knowledgeable & super helpful. Menu is Portuguese seafood oriented & small but many specials greatly expanded it. Wine list is impressive although not many bottles below $100. Had two restaurant standards: the black cod in port reduction & the bouillabaisse, both outstanding, accompanied by a slightly spicy dry Douro white wine. Pastais de nata for dessert that was better than what we found in Lisbon. Overall outstanding!
One of the best seafood places in Montreal , great for a business lunch or a quick dinner after work . Service was a little slow & there's this feeling that they're always trying to force sell you something . The greeters at the door are amazing though one of the best

Meilleure restaurant ! La grosseur des plats pour le prix était très bien! Le service était excellent: mon conjoint & moi avions pris deux plats principaux qu'on voulait partager les serveurs nous servaient carrément les portions dans nos assiettes respectives. Le serveur demande si tu aime ta boisson & le change au besoin! La nourriture est fantastique (non seulement au goût mais le soins dans l'esthétique de l'assiette aussi). Rien à re dire si vous aimez les poissons fruits de mer !
