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.
Ferreira Café is described as an elegant, lively institution for Portuguese dining, with refined decor, warm hospitality, and an open kitchen that adds energy to the meal. The seafood and Portuguese dishes are frequently highlighted as fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with standout items like octopus and black cod praised by many guests. Service is repeatedly praised for attentiveness and knowledge, and the wine list and desserts are noted as excellent. Some visits note premium pricing and occasional inconsistencies such as food not arriving hot or slower service during peak times, leading some to question value. Overall, these reviews converge on Ferreira Café as a memorable Montreal dining destination for special occasions, business meals, or a lively night out, while a handful of experiences suggest room for refinement.
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.

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.
First time for me. Ferreira's reputation proceeded itself. In some ways the hype really left more room for disappointment. I was anything but disappointed. From door greeter to being walked to the back room where my party had already sat the first impression was top notch.
The table staff was top tier. The food was delicious across all courses. At a seafood place, I had rib-eye because I had yet to have a quality steak on my trip & this was one of the better ribeyes I have had in recent memory. Montréal knows how to cook beef.
Super belle place. Service A1, lets mets étaient délicieux. La propriétaire est meme venu nous accueillir à notre table. Vraiment une belle place, un must côté culinaire. Nous y sommes allé avec nos enfants.
Yesterday we were at this establishment, the food was delicious but we took rice with seafood & lobster with us, when we got home we tasted the dishes but the rice was not cooked, the lobster was poorly cooked, it was impossible to eat because it was rubbery, in addition, the mussels were not fully cooked.
Service & food is excellent. But the choice of music is horrible. It's 1950 & 1960 rock which has nothing to do with such a beautiful restaurant. I did ask why the music & they said the owner choose it.
Ferreira Café hardly needs an introduction-its reputation speaks for itself. I didn't take pictures because the food was so good, we were too busy enjoying it. From the simplest tomato salad & perfectly cooked calamari to the olives & every bite of the main dishes, everything was fresh, flavorful, & expertly done. It's the kind of place you know you'll return to, no question.
Superb experience. Staff are incredible & all the dishes we tried were superb. Would highly recommend. Wine list is also great. Special mention to Jeanne who does an incredible job!
