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.

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 👌🏻!

Wonderful experience. Has the turbot fish for two. It was deboned at our table. Fun to watch the skill. It's the fastest fish in the ocean!

Food is amazing! This time we wait long time for our plates! It is not a quiet restaurant but the food surpasses it all!

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!!

Amazing on every level. This is a Montreal staple that you NEED to try right now.

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. 🙃

I wanted to enjoy the time with my mom, so we came here. But the table was super small & I paid $100+ for food, we didn't have enough to eat. & the cutlery was too old & not in good condition. I won't come again.

Perfect place to eat. The food was so well made. I ordered the sea bass for two & wow. The service & atmosphere was also great! Ate here before heading to the airport for a redeye & I have no regrets, so satisfying & quick service for what they are making. I want to try the black cod next time. One improvement: the bread service isn't the best bread & its just served with oil (great olive oil but still) if some balsamic or spices were added it would be top tier.

If you are into great seafood this is the place to be. The staff is fantastic, very attentive & so nice. We tried thier seafood tower & it was freah & delicious. It is a very trendy place so they keep the music quite loud. Since I was going with older mother, was a bit too loud. But that is does not deter from this being a great place to go.

Good food, but expensive. Quite noisy on the inside. One would expect a more professional service & more relaxing experience from such a high-end restaurant.

This is a great place! The staff is pleasant & has great suggestions for dinner, wine, & dessert. The food is cooked perfectly, so delicious! I had the halibut with couscous & vegetables, everything was cooked to perfection, & the portion size was perfect. Dessert was strawberry & mango sorbet with fruit.
