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.
I just had the best time at Cafe Ferreira for a work event! We came in at 9 PM with a group of 10, & we were treated to a fabulous table d'hote menu featuring steak, prawns, veggies, & mushroom risotto. Everything was served buffet style, which was so convenient & fun, & it even came with dessert! I have to say, the prawns & the risotto were definitely my favorites - they were absolutely delicious! The service was amazing, too; the staff was super attentive & always there for refills. Overall, it was such a great spot for our group event, & I can't recommend it enough!
It's an institution definitively worth trying when in montreal,especially there octopus(main dish). Nice variety of Portuguese wines,Tristan (sommelier) was very helpful. Cheers
Quelle chance de pouvoir « prolonger » notre superbe voyage au Portugal à travers le Ferreira Café de Montréal ! Cuisine raffinée, décors élégant, personnel très accueillant, c'est une recette garantie pour une soirée haute en saveurs ! Merci Sandra pour votre accueil! Très heureux que notre garçon ait célébré ses dix huit ans dans votre établissement ☺️. Merci pour toutes les belles attentions pour ce grand événement! Fabrice
Si je pouvais donner 20 étoiles à ce resto portugais je le ferais! Nous avons réservé pour les 18 ans de notre garçon & Sandra nous a accueillie comme si nous étions de la famille! Les petites attentions, cocktails surprises en arrivant, assiettes de desserts portugais, service impeccable jusqu'à M Ferreira qui est venu nous saluer! Cette soirée importante restera gravée grâce à vous! MERCI à la grande famille Ferreira pour ce merveilleux repas! Tout était parfait 👌🏻!
Petit conseil, vérifiez votre facture! Nous étions 6, 3 additions & 2 étaient erronées de $100 chacune. Le prix du vin n'est pas le même sur la facture & sur le menu!!! Bizarre car j'imagine que c'est déjà programmé! De plus le sourire absent de la fille du proprio!
Wonderful experience. We made reservations at 3pm while they were actually closing for the afternoon (their system error) & they still sat us. They were extremely warm & inviting despite the mixup. The ambiance was very nice. Think jazz bar meets fine dining. Our server suggested an amazing white wine. The food was unforgettable starting from the bread. The fried squid appetizer was exceptional. We shared the fresh red snapper & it was very good. However, the duck risotto was life changing. I'll definitely be back!!
Had a fantastic dinner & would recommend the crispy octopus. We were a large group & the wait staff were efficient & very friendly. The only downside was being put in the back room where the lighting was flickering ... & since we were all in the lighting industry it was annoying & slightly amusing. 🙃
