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.

Excellent service de la part de Salim & de ses collègues. Les portions étaient assez généreuses en quantité & en qualité. La cuisine méditéranéenne étant plus légère, nous n'avons pas ressenti cette lourdeur habituelle quand on sort d'un bon resto aux plats très riches & couverts de sauce ou de fromage. La pieuvre était extraordinaire. Seul bémol: la musique était de plus en plus forte au fil de la soirée, on a fini par ressentir une ambiance plus bistro & moins haut de gamme.

En général la soirée à 4 s'est bien passée mais malheureusement le service a laissé à désirer. Mon conjoint s'est vu retirer son assiette d'entrée alors qu'il n'avait pas fini sa dernière bouchée. Le service était d'ailleurs trop pressant. Mais surtout deux des plats principaux étaient tièdes & pour un troisième plat, l'assiette fournie pour manger le riz aux fruits de mer était glaciale, faisant en sorte que le plat a refroidi très rapidement après le transfert de la casserole à l'assiette. Nous nous sommes plaints de la situation & on nous a offert de refaire les deux plats tièdes mais cela aurait désynchroniser le repas. On nous a offert le dessert en compensation. Bien que cela ait été apprécié, ce n'était pas ce que nous attendions de notre repas. Bref, on s'attend à beaucoup mieux en allant chez Ferreira qui n'a pas été à la hauteur cette fois-ci. Le service est malheureusement inégal d'une fois à l'autre dans ce restaurant.
