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.

Le ceviche & la morue noire étaient excellent! Par conte j'aurais apprécié que la serveuse mentionne qu'il y a un extra lorsque le serveuse propose du homard à ma fille & sa petite soeur qui étaient à la table voisine de notre groupe.

Greatest Portuguese restaurant in Montreal.
Been going there for the last 25 years.
Same consistent service, same consistent quality.

Its a Montreal must if you are visiting or just local.

Very good service, as usual, & excellent food. The music was a bit too loud, & the wine prices continue to be too high.

Très bon mais l'ambiance a gâché la soirée. Nous pensions aller manger dans un bon restaurant haut de gamme. Nous avons plutôt bien mangé dans une discothèque. Nous étions au moins 4 à nous être plaints mais on nous a dit que c'est ainsi que le proprio souhaite l'ambiance les vendredis & samedis. Nous voilà avertis: pas la fin de semaine ...si d'aventure on y retourne...

Excellent ambience, wine & food. Great service. Made our 30th Anniversary very special. Highly recommended!

Excellent repas & excellent service comme d'habitude. Notre restaurant lorsque nous sommes à Montréal.
