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.
Reviewers describe Ferreira Café as an elegant, intimate setting with chic Portuguese influences and a strong focus on fresh seafood. The menu is praised for beautifully balanced dishes, high quality ingredients, and care in both flavors and presentation. The service is repeatedly described as attentive, knowledgeable, and professional, though a few guests note occasional lapses when the restaurant is busy. Many guests praise standout items such as octopus, black cod, bouillabaisse, and other seafood specialties, with compliments on generous portions and thoughtful pairings. The wine list and cocktails receive frequent praise, and the open kitchen adds to the lively, upscale vibe. Prices are described as high and some feel value does not always match the cost, along with occasional notes about additional charges for bread or olives. A few reviews note noise level or occasional off nights where dishes arrive not as hot as expected, but the overall sentiment remains highly favorable. Overall, Ferreira Café stands out in Montreal for authentic Portuguese dining and top-tier seafood, delivering a refined yet welcoming experience that many would happily return for.
This place was great! The food was fresh & delicious & the service was more than excellent! Everyone was nice & they explained to us the menu with patience! The wine bottles are cheaper compared to other restaurants around the neighborhood Also, I loved how fresh the seafood was & how they can cook certain plates to your liking too! The dessert platter just added to all the amazing dishes we tried.
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.

The desserts were delicious & they have an great selection of wine. However, the starters & the entrées were disappointing. The fond we had tasted bland. I would not recommend or go back consideing how expensive this restaurant is.
Service exceptionnel reçu par notre serveur Mike! Nourriture exquise avec de généreuses portions! Merci pour ce superbe souper aux saveurs véritablement portugaises avec mes clients qui ont été plus qu'impressionnés!!

Excellent ....la.pieuvre grillee etait un déllice, la simplicite de la Daurare mais divinement succulente. Quelques petites bulles pour accompagné ces merveilles .ambiance tres feutré. Service impec. Tres hate d y retourner!
Un accueil plein sourire, des conseils judicieux pour le choix des mets, un service soutenu sans être expéditif alors que le restaurant était bondé en cette période des fêtes.
Amazing experience, as always. Loved the 2014 wine that the sommelier recommended. The catch of the day was prepared perfectly, the service was exceptional as well. The Portuguese dessert combo featured exquisite cakes. Will come again!
