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.

Expérience inoubliable. Il y a des années que je n'y était pas allé & c'est toujours aussi bon & accueillant. Cependant, j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise qu'il y a de la canelle sur vos pasteis de natas.

What a lucky find! Food is exquisite & better than we found when we were in Lisbon. The wine list was crazy good too- had a rare Italian bottle we have difficulty finding even in Tuscany! Worth a visit for sure.

Former colleague recommended this place to me if I visited Montreal, & this will be one of the top 10 restaurants on my list 1. Definitely ask for the bread service, the olive oil served tastes so good you want to drink it. 2. We ordered cod ceviche, octopus for starters...soft octopus grilled to perfection. Ceviche marinade was so tasty, very balanced. 3. Mains we took signature seafood casserole with rice & more octopus with potatoes. OMG the octopus was just unbelievable soft & buttery. Great service from the team, they predicted our every wish. Must stop if you are visiting Montreal, I envy the locals 😁
