If Ferreira Café has quickly established itself as one of the best restaurants in town, there is no mystery: a visionary owner, an inspired chef, high quality products and a talented and dedicated team. In Montreal, Ferreira Café gives the Portuguese cuisine all its nobility.
Reviewers describe Ferreira Café as an elegant, intimate setting with chic Portuguese influences and a strong focus on fresh seafood. The menu is praised for beautifully balanced dishes, high quality ingredients, and care in both flavors and presentation. The service is repeatedly described as attentive, knowledgeable, and professional, though a few guests note occasional lapses when the restaurant is busy. Many guests praise standout items such as octopus, black cod, bouillabaisse, and other seafood specialties, with compliments on generous portions and thoughtful pairings. The wine list and cocktails receive frequent praise, and the open kitchen adds to the lively, upscale vibe. Prices are described as high and some feel value does not always match the cost, along with occasional notes about additional charges for bread or olives. A few reviews note noise level or occasional off nights where dishes arrive not as hot as expected, but the overall sentiment remains highly favorable. Overall, Ferreira Café stands out in Montreal for authentic Portuguese dining and top-tier seafood, delivering a refined yet welcoming experience that many would happily return for.
This was a wonderful experience, food was delicious, wine as well & service was prompt & deserving of applause. The atmosphere is cheerful & yet sophisticated. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Ce restaurant n'est pas à la hauteur. Le poisson était bon mais aucun accompagnement qui faisait d'allure. Du humus ne combine pas avec le poison & c'est loin d'être typique portugués.
Le service poli mais c'est tout. Il n'a pas demandé une seule fois si on était correct, si le plat était à notre goût. Est ce qu'ils se sent par dessus de la mêlée?
Restaurant bien ordinaire pour le prix
Très brouillant & peu d'espace pour chaque convive.
I had 4 oysters ( we split a dozen between the 3 of us), then the delicious salmon tartare (very small portion, max 2 table spoons on a plate) thank God there was a piece of bread! Then I had a very small portion of tuna steak (1 1/2 inch by 1 1/2) & 1/2 a cup of rice (I'm being generous here, maybe a little less)… & a small portion of veggies… I came out of there still hungry… with a tab that was well into the 3 digits… with an alcohol free drink & a simple coffee … I left 15% tips ( the server didn't look too happy)… the crowd was much older, maybe that explain the small portions? If you workout & try to hit your daily protein targets think twice!
Très beau restaurant. Le service était excellent.
L'ambiance est superbe.
Concernant la nourriture, ma salade en entrée était trop salée, tandis que mon plat principal, la pieuvre, manquait de goût. Elle baignait également dans l'huile.
4/5
Had an amazing cocktail experience with Jane. Very creative on the cocktails & always with a smile on her face. Super patient with our questions about the menu. Top 1 bartender.

Expérience hors du commun au Ferreira Café! Les calamars en entrée, la morue noire grillée & le gâteau au citron étaient exceptionnels! Le service au petit soin & l'atmosphère chaleureuse ont rendu ce moment unique. Je reviendrai pour un prochain date avec la femme de ma vie!
Top notch experience. Had the oysters, blackened sea bass, & signature cod. Both fishes were melt in your mouth fresh. Oysters were perfection. They made us a free dessert in celebration of our anniversary. Ferreira is the finest in Montreal.
