About

Ferreira Café delivers an authentic exploration of Portuguese coastal traditions through a meticulous focus on fresh seafood and imported Mediterranean ingredients. The menu centers on expertly prepared salt cod, succulent grilled octopus, and daily catches finished with high-quality olive oil and sea salt. Each dish emphasizes the natural integrity of the raw components, reflecting the rugged and vibrant culinary landscape of the Iberian Peninsula. The atmosphere combines minimalist aesthetic choices with warm lighting to highlight the bustling activity of the kitchen and the bar. Patrons interact with a selection of regional vintages that complement the salinity and brightness found throughout the oceanic flavor profiles. Every plate serves as a direct representation of traditional preparation methods modernized for a contemporary culinary environment while maintaining respect for deep-rooted heritage.

Top notch experience. Had the oysters, blackened sea bass, & signature cod. Both fishes were melt in your mouth fresh. Oysters were perfection. They made us a free dessert in celebration of our anniversary. Ferreira is the finest in Montreal.

First time for me. Ferreira's reputation proceeded itself. In some ways the hype really left more room for disappointment. I was anything but disappointed. From door greeter to being walked to the back room where my party had already sat the first impression was top notch.

The table staff was top tier. The food was delicious across all courses. At a seafood place, I had rib-eye because I had yet to have a quality steak on my trip & this was one of the better ribeyes I have had in recent memory. Montréal knows how to cook beef.

I will be sure to revisit in future trips.

Yesterday we were at this establishment, the food was delicious but we took rice with seafood & lobster with us, when we got home we tasted the dishes but the rice was not cooked, the lobster was poorly cooked, it was impossible to eat because it was rubbery, in addition, the mussels were not fully cooked.

Service & food is excellent. But the choice of music is horrible. It's 1950 & 1960 rock which has nothing to do with such a beautiful restaurant. I did ask why the music & they said the owner choose it.
