Première visite au Ferreira Café.
Premièrement, le service est exceptionnel!
Calmars frits, pieuvre croustillante, risotto aux champignons avec cuisse de canard confit, bouillabaisse & tartelettes portugaises en dessert.
La bouillabaisse était bien malgré que le bouillon ne goûtait pas grand chose. La pieuvre était correcte mais le goût aurait pu être meilleur.
Critiques: les tables sont un peu trop tassées l'une contre l'autre, assez cher mais la visite en vaut la peine.
Je recommande fortement ce restaurant portugais.

We had such a wonderful meal at Ferreira Café in Montreal! 🦐🦑 The grilled squid was fresh, tender, & absolutely delicious, & the seafood paella was packed with fresh, flavorful seafood. You can really taste the freshness in every bite!

The only small downside was that the seafood rice had a slightly grainy texture, likely from some of the clams & mussels. Aside from that, everything was delicious & beautifully prepared. Overall, a lovely dining experience & definitely a place we would come back to! ❤?

Upper class café in very Montreal downtown serving mainly fish & seafood Portuguese meals. Very good ambiance, very attentive service & food. Price are affordable for downtown center area.

Sincèrement, nous avons été déçues. La morue noire était bonne, mais sans plus. Elle était accompagnée d'asperges (délicieuses celles-ci) & de champignons qui aurait eu avantage à être un peu plus sautés, ils étaient quasiment crus & plutôt coriaces ( c'était le plat de résistance !). La personne qui m'accompagnait a bien aimé la bouillabaisse, mais a trouvé son entrée de saumon fumé plutôt moyenne. Pour ce qui est du service, nous avons également été désenchantées, nos plats ont pris une éternité à arriver, par la suite il y a eu une autre éternité entre la carte des desserts & le moment où le serveur est venu nous revoir, si bien que nous avons décliné l'offre de dessert & de café. Par ailleurs, nous avons dû pousser un peu notre table de côté, car le serveur qui opérait à la table voisine avait quasiment les fesses dans mon plat. Donc, nous ne renouvellerons pas l'expérience.

It was my first time dining at Ferreira Café, & I truly loved the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the elegance of the space. The Portuguese azulejo bar, refined wood details, & soft lighting create an atmosphere that feels both chic & inviting.

The food was absolutely delicious. Each dish was beautifully balanced & made with incredibly fresh ingredients, many inspired by Portuguese terroir. The attention to detail was evident in both the flavors & the presentation.

The service was excellent: attentive, professional, & warm, without ever feeling overwhelming. I felt well taken care of throughout the evening, yet completely at ease.

Ferreira Café left a wonderful first impression. Everything, from the cuisine to the setting & the service, came together effortlessly. I would gladly return & highly recommend it, whether for a business dinner, a night out with friends, or a special occasion.

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.

Café intimiste, excellent, incontournable.
Le service est génial, les plats sont extrêmement bien préparés & l'ambiance est super.
La fraîcheur des poissons, la délicatesse de la cuisson rendent ce lieu incontournable.
À découvrir !
Les cocktails avec ou sans alcools sont divins.
Le vins parfaitement choisi.
L'endroit est situé en plein centre-ville.

Ferreira Café - A Truly Exceptional Portuguese Dining Experience

My visit to Ferreira Café was nothing short of extraordinary. Their cuisine is truly amazing, showcasing a perfect blend of creativity, quality, & authentic Portuguese flavors. From start to finish, every dish felt like a carefully crafted work of art.

We began with their signature appetizer, the Crispy Octopus & the Seafood Platter & both were spectacular. The presentation was beautiful, & each bite was well-balanced & full of flavor. It set the tone for what became an unforgettable dining experience.

The main courses were just as impressive. The'Fresh Catch from the Market & Portugal' lived up to its name: fresh, soft, & rich in flavor. The Fish & Seafood Bouillabaisse & the Lagareiro Octopus were incredibly savory & deeply satisfying. & the Tomahawk? An absolute masterpiece, perfectly cooked & bursting with flavor. It was truly one of the highlights of the night.

The cocktails were equally impressive. The Negroni, Filthy Martini, & Gaia were crafted with precision & tasted like works of art in a glass. The sommelier's champagne & wine recommendations were spot-on, & we thoroughly enjoyed every selection he made.

With great ambiance, friendly staff, & outstanding service, Ferreira Café delivered a memorable dining experience from beginning to end. As my first time enjoying Portuguese cuisine, I couldn't have asked for a better introduction. This restaurant is truly worth visiting.

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!
