About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines
Good for business meals

Suppose Ferreira Café has quickly established itself as one of the best restaurants in town. In that case, there is no mystery: a visionary owner, an inspired chef, high-quality products, and a talented and dedicated team. In Montreal, Ferreira Café gives Portuguese cuisine all its nobility.

Ferreira is an unforgettable experience that promotes discovery, sharing, and conviviality in a warm atmosphere. This is today's Portugal, in downtown Montreal. And we come back to it again and again.

- Established in 1996 -

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Since opening its doors in 1996, Ferreira has set the bar for refined Portuguese dining in Montreal. Ultra-fresh seafood stars in dishes like Lagareiro octopus or daily catches flown in from Portugal. The predominantly Portuguese wine list, recognized by Wine Spectator, pairs seamlessly with the sleek decor, which transitions easily between business lunches and elegant evenings.

Je suis un client régulier du CF et je me permets donc de critiquer le Tomahawk d’hier et surtout que le chef a insisté pour dire qu’il etait ok (je me serais attendu a une autre réaction surtout qu’on a donné la critique APRÈS avoir payé.) Notre intention etait bonne mais bon…

Staff were very professional/friendly. Food was excellent, we enjoyed an entrée of oysters and crispy octopus (delicious). Ordered the seafood rice and blackened cod as mains, both were seasoned to perfection. You must finish off your meal with the taste tester dessert platter, perfect bite-sized variety to please all palates. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Excellent experience as a solo diner at Ferreira Café. Great wine list featuring Portuguese and other wines. The fresh fish and seafood were expertly prepared, very flavourful and perfectly cooked (or uncooked, as the case may be). The cod cake entrée in particular packs a lot of flavour. I wish I could have had one of each dessert, the selection was good and the item I picked - Bolo de Limao - was fantastic. Great overall service, as well. Would definitely recommend it.

The level of service is not what it used to be. It took forever for someone to come see us and we were not even offered bread with olive oil. Tuna steak which used to be among their signature dishes was just ok.
