It was our first visit to Ferreira Cafe. The service was excellent. Our sever Marco was very knowledgeable. We ordered the appetizers of Eggplant & the house cures smoke salmon. Both were very tasty & satisfying. For our Entree/Mains we both ordered the House dish of 30 years. Black Cod. The entree was tasty but it failed in one major area. It was Luke warm & not HOT. Whereas our server came over to ask if we were enjoying our appetizer, no one came over & asked how our first bites of our entree were & we were also not offered fresh ground pepper. In 2026 it is very RARE not to be served HOT food when fine dining. If I had that experience previously on a return visit to a restaurant I will ask for the food to be hot. At the end of the meal we still were not asked how our meal was. I finally volunteered that the fish was Luke warm & food taste much better HOT. The response was weak & tepid. No apology. Just,'I'll Let the Kitchen know'. We were sitting behind the glass wall watching the cooking. There were a lot of staff. Whether it was the fault of the waiter or the expediter is moot. No apology & weak response is not a very guest or customer centric friendly answer. We eat out for dinner every Saturday night. The enjoyment of he meal includes the food, how it is prepared & service, the service & the atmosphere. We will probably give Ferreira another try sometime in the future. But when I am paying $299 for two. I expect better from a seasoned restaurant. Why would any restaurant be satisfied with serving lukewarm warm food?As in any retail experience? Your last touch is the most important. It was poor here. I will tell friends my unvarnished experience & hopefully this is a one off.

Best Portuguese restaurant in Montreal!!!!
I had such an amazing experience here. My friend & I visited Montreal during weekends & we chose this restaurant to try first, & we were so impressed by how nice staffs were, how good the foods were, & terrific service!!
The food was flawless with perfect balance. We reserved a bar but asked to change it to a main table if possible. They helped us secure the table & even offered a glass of wine for free while waiting.
I visit Montreal at least once a month & this will be my next go-to restaurant.
I appreciate how generous you guys are. & wonderful chefs !!
The ingredients are so fresh & fine.

My girlfriend & I booked this restaurant for Valentine's Day. She has severe allergies to milk, eggs, & all nuts. We clearly informed the waiter of her allergies so the kitchen could modify the menu accordingly.

Everything seemed fine until the main course. After just one bite of the polenta, she immediately began experiencing an allergic reaction. The staff later confirmed that the dish did contain allergens because the kitchen had mixed up the orders.

We asked to leave right away to go to the hospital, but the situation was made worse when the restaurant could not locate our coats. We had to wait an additional 10 minutes while they searched for them, delaying our departure during a medical emergency.

We then spent five hours in the hospital resuscitation room.

What was meant to be a special Valentine's evening turned into a frightening experience. We expected far better from a high-end restaurant, especially when it comes to handling serious, life-threatening allergies.

Very disappointed by the food.
The appetizer tasted fishy, & the bouillabaisse… is not a bouillabaisse.
On a positive note, the octopus was good.

It offers Portuguese cuisine. Their food is excellent & the servers are extremely respectful & ready to help with your choice of food & drink. It is a bit pricy. You may go as a couple or with friends. I don't recommend it for small children although there is no issue taking them there. But children may appreciate simpler food

Service très accueillant & efficace pour un lunch d'affaires. Plats excellents, la pieuvre est de qualité & le risotto au canard est très bien servi. Mention spéciale également à l'assortiment de desserts.
