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.

Il semblerait que nous soyons les seuls a ne pas avoir aimé mais bon je me lance… soirée en amoureux, nous étions sur la terrasse par une belle soirée de septembre. J’ai adoré être sur la terrasse extérieur qui est couverte. On commence par des drinks. Ne buvant pas de vin le choix des cocktails est plus que limités. Pas le choix, nous y allons avec le classique vodka soda. Le service est excellent. A chaque fois qu’on vient nous voir on se surprend a dire combien ici au Ferreira on est traité aux petits oignons. Par contre pour nous la nourriture a été une grande déception. Ayant été au Portugal j’avoue que cette cuisine n’est pas ma préféré mais je m’attendais a plus du Ferreira ayant lu d’excellent commentaires. Le pire plat pour moi était la morue noir. Une morue dans un bain de pomme de terre pilé agrémenté d’une sauce brune digne d’une sauce en conserve acheté en épicerie. Rien de ce plat de m’a plus ainsi qu’a mon conjoint qui aime tout. Il a apprécié son saumon mais rien d’extraordinaire. Je n’ai pas aimé la pieuvre qui était tellement sec qu’elle me roulait dans la bouche. Je n’ai pas aimé le thon non plus mais cette fois ce n’est pas de leur faute je n’aime pas cette partie du thon extrêmement grasse (le ventre). Bref pour le prix nous n’y retourneront pas. Même de force. Tout de même un beau resto, avec une bonne ambiance & un excellent service.

J'ai essayé le poisson St-Pierre accompagnés de légumes & cetait extraordinaire. Le vin maison est excellent. Le service est pas comparable. Excellente atmosphère, un must!

This place was great! The food was fresh & delicious & the service was more than excellent! Everyone was nice & they explained to us the menu with patience! The wine bottles are cheaper compared to other restaurants around the neighborhood Also, I loved how fresh the seafood was & how they can cook certain plates to your liking too! The dessert platter just added to all the amazing dishes we tried.

I went with a few friends & we all love the food being prepared so freshly. We can see lots of employees working seriously in the open kitchen preparing the food. They seem to know what they are doing, especially the person who prepares the fresh fish.
We enjoyed the food & the good service. Thank you Ferreira Cafe for the good experience.
