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.
Menu des plus interessant, plats excellents & service des plus attentionnés;
Mon bemol vient d'un point qui peut facilement gacher notre experience. Une table de gens visiblement en etat d'ebriete, qui parlent tres fort & qui derangent. On nous a gentiment déplacés vers une table a l'entree, mais chaque fois que la porte s'ouvrait, un vent froid venait nous chatouiller; c'est quand meme mieux que des gens qui derangent. Enfin
Ferreira Café is my destination for weekend personal or business lunches & dinners. It is always an exceptional experience, from the outstanding service from the staff to the great food on the plate. Thank you to Carlos for managing his restaurants in a special way where we just feel at home in his restaurants.

Excellente ambiance, service digne de mention, attentionné & contribuant à l'expérience! Plats savoureux & de qualité. Ayant mentionné l'anniversaire de ma conjointe lors de la réservation, j'apprécie l'attention particulière lors du dessert. Je recommande fortement le Ferreira, un des meilleurs restaurants que j'ai essayé! Nous y retournerons assurément!
The service is excellent, they focus in giving you an experience of a lifetime & indeed it is, the wine list is unique & they known their wines but the best is the food, I had the cod & the octopus, both amazing.

Quelle belle soirée !! Une superbe attention de monsieur Ferreira , venir nous saluer nous serrez la main. Des employés hors pairs ! Le service juste wow !!!! & le repas à couper le souffle
La pieuvre & la bouillabaisse sont excellentes. Tous mes invités ont apprécié leur plat respectif. Un bémol, la musique n'était pas, selon moi, adapté pour ce genre de restaurant. Le service était bien.
