Review Summary

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.

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...

We had a wonderful dinner at Ferreira. It was a birthday dinner & it couldn't have been more special. The service was efficient, yet personal. The octopus appetizer & sea bass were fantastic & the wine they suggested was perfect. All in all, a great meal.
