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.

Délicieux, mais charger 6$ pour du pain pi deux olives, vous êtes cheap en esti. Au prix de vos assiettes & bouteilles, absorbez la'perte'.

Wow. I thought my Montreal friend was taking me to a Portuguese chicken spot. Just phenomenal. I changed my opinion of octopus here.

Our first time at Ferreira cafe.
From the beginning we were greeted with a friendly & kind smile by the hostesses. We were early so sat at the bar for some drinks, beautiful bar & comfortable high chairs. Our waiter was very attentive & gave us a good rundown of the food on the menu. I ended up having the fish & seafood bouillabaisse & my wife had the seafood rice casserole. Both dishes were cooked to perfection & the flavour were delicious. My bouillabaisse sauce was so good I had to have it like soup with bread, I also order the carabineiro which added extra flavour!
We will definitely come back to Ferreira next time we visit Montreal.
Obrigado!
