Si le restaurant Ferreira Café s’est rapidement établi comme l’une des meilleures tables en ville, il n’y a pas de mystère : un propriétaire visionnaire, un chef inspiré, des produits de grande qualité et une équipe compétente et dévouée. À Montréal, le Ferreira Café donne à la cuisine portugaise toutes ses lettres de noblesse.
Ferreira Café est décrit comme une adresse élégante et animée, une véritable institution de la cuisine portugaise, avec un décor raffiné, une hospitalité chaleureuse et une cuisine ouverte qui apporte de l énergie au repas. Les fruits de mer et les plats portugais y sont fréquemment salués pour leur fraîcheur, leurs saveurs et leur belle présentation, avec des plats comme le poulpe et la morue noire prisés par de nombreux convives. Le service est régulièrement loué pour son attention et son savoir-faire, et la carte des vins et les desserts sont remarquables. Certaines visites signalent des tarifs élevés et des incohérences occasionnelles telles que des plats servis tièdes ou un service plus lent en période d'affluence, amenant certains à remettre en question la valeur du repas. Dans l'ensemble, les avis convergent pour faire de Ferreira Café une destination mémorable à Montréal pour des occasions spéciales, des repas d'affaires ou une soirée animée, bien que quelques expériences suggèrent des marges d'amélioration.
Great restaurant to enjoy delicious Portuguese meal! Great seafood selection, from fresh oysters to grilled octopus! The after 9pm table d'hôte promotion is really worth, & allows you to try the delicious food selection on the menu! The service was also amazing & you have to try the pasteis de nata!
Really great seafood. The cod cake & fish of the day were delicious & the pasteis for dessert were spot on. Service was attentive & our server was very knowledgable. All in all, would highly recommend!

This was my favorite place for a long time for fresh seafood & fine dining.
However my latest visit is anything but pleasant.
I visit on a Monday evening, the place is still relatively busy as they recently received a Michelin recommendation. The host sit me at the bar, when I ask if I can take the seat at the end she said she would save it for other reservations. I have no problem with that but the seats remain empty til I left.
It took a while before anyone greeted me & take my orders. I'm a simple person & since I visited here so many times before I already know what I wanted & placed my order quickly: include a pan seared dore sole as my main dish.
Now here is the problem, I got a fish with a ruptured gallbladder, which happens once a while & can make the flesh very biter, it's a common problem when cleaning the fish. I made a mistake of not sending it back right away, as on the top side it was not so notable. But when I got to the bottom part it's so biter as the flesh has soaked up the gallbladder juices, I have to stop.
The stuff noticed that & ask me if everything is ok. I said I don't think the fish is cleaned( as in by the fish man) properly. That's when they got really defensive & keep saying that why they want to clean (meaning deboning) the fish for the customer, for the customer. But I doubt that would change anything about a gallbladder juice soaked fish. & the two of them keep saying that I should let them to'clean the fish' for me just killed all appetite for me.
I don't know what have change but clearly not what I expecting from a Michelin recommendation Restaurant.

I usually have have the black cod, it's my go to dish but my friend had the Bouillabaisse & that blew me away!!!
Wow!!!! Full of seafood & the broth was little spicy & so flavorful.
We were visiting from Toronto to celebrate my mother's 82nd birthday & enjoyed her birthday dinner at Ferrerira. All the staff were most welcoming & made my mother's evening so special. We were fortunate to have a table by the kitchen & watched the chefs work their magic & appreciated their efforts in the fine details in preparing the dishes. We all had seafood & found the portions a good size but more importantly were fresh & delicious! The sardine & scallop ceviche apps should not be missed. The fresh grilled fish of the day was simple but so tasty & the bouillabaisse was cooked to perfection. Nicole, our server, was absolutely lovely! She was so kind to our family & provided dessert for our table. My mother was so touched by this gesture. We would like to thank the Ferreria team for going above & beyond to make my mother's Montreal birthday such a memorable one. Merci!
