Food was absolutely phenomenal. The best Portuguese restaurant I’ve ever eaten at by far. Everything from the appetizer to dessert was delicious. The best service I’ve ever had. Our glasses never went empty. A huge thank you to our server Michael for going above & beyond. Can’t wait to go back.

The food & the atmosphere was amazing. The waiter Mike was friendly & always made sure we were taken care of. This is the best service & experience by far & they went above & beyond my expectations. We never waited for anything & the whole team at Ferreira’s worked together to ensure their guests were happy, & were never waiting for service. Our waters were always filled without asking. Our wine glasses were always being filled & it was not overwhelming at all & just right. The food is to die for & I will definitely be a return customer. Thank you to the staff at Ferreira Cafe for the best experience.

One of our best Portuguese dinner ever. Rice with fruit du mer & grilled halibut were excellent. Expertly chosen Portuguese wines. Very good staff. However, its atmosphere on a Thursday evening (7pm) was horrible - sound proofing did not work well & the weird/loud/annoying music spoiled what could have been a fondly memorable dinner.

Je fréquente ce restaurant depuis 2006. Je n'ai jamais été déçu.
Je précise que je ne suis pas du genre à me satisfaire de peu.
Je suis prêt à payer mais j'en veux pour mon argent. Ce soir, je me suis délecté de l'entrée de burrata & ses tomates ancestrales, du pata negra, de la sole de Douvres ainsi que des pasteis de nata. Champagne tout le long du repas ainsi qu'un très bon capuccino. Service courtois & attentionné de la part de Jackie, la barmaid, car je m'asseois toujours au bar. Magnifique décor du restaurant & ambiance contribuent également à nous faire voyager au Portugal.
