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.

    Our first visit to Ferreira and we had a fantastic experience. The food was incredible and service was outstanding. Our table enjoyed the Salmon tartare, the swordfish ceviche, the sardines, the Emperor fish, black cod, and a dessert assortment as the finale. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious seafood (they do offer a few steaks as well).

    Food was exquisite, octopus carpaccio a must as was the bouillabaisse, absolutely so fresh and delicious! Great wine by the glass. The only problem was they had trouble finding my coat in coatcheck at the end of the meal so I had to wait a while but eventually it was retrieved. Overall a fantastic experience.

    For me, the right amount of liveliness without being too noisy. Have eaten here many times, almost always with great satisfaction. Prefer to go with 4 people or less - larger groups are seated upstairs in less desirable location.

    Excellent overall experience. But 1) The thumping disco-type music is totally inappropriate for the context. Nobody was at Ferreira to dance, nor did anybody want to do so. Everybody wanted to have a memorable meal and chat with their friends. Change the type of music! 2) Music too loud. It should not drown out the conversation. Patrons should not feel that they have to out-shout the music. In summary: More chill, mellow tunes at softer levels, appropriate to the wonderful dining experience!

    We have visited previously and the food and service has always been exceptional however, last night, the food was very good but our specific waiter was poor, inattentive and really took away from the experience. I hope that this was a one-off and that the poor service is not reflective of the restaurant as a whole.

    Food is excellent but the prices are very high for what you get and given portion size . The black cod is excellent as is the Octopus The wine list is extensive but most of the good wines are well over $100. It’s THE place to go in Montreal, but be prepared to be hungry three hours later

    Lovely restaurant with a very vibrant feel. Truly excellent service but the experience wasn't quite up to this institution's previous standards. For example, the signature cod dish was not as good as in the past. The duck risotto was, however, outstanding. Nevertheless, a very pleasant dining experience.

    Food was excellent, waiter was awesome. Hostess was not great. We reserved a table for four. Three of us arrived first (10 minutes early) and the hostess arbitrarily changed the reservation for 3 people and gave us a really small table (2+1)… when the fourth guest arrived (on time with the reservation) we had to insist on getting a table that would fit all four of us and had to wait a while for it. Once we got the table we reserved, the experience was great.

    The restaurant is beautiful and the service is great, but the food was blend, boring. It sounds exciting on the menue, but the execution is boring. I ordered the octopus, the veggies, potatoes were boiled with nothing on them, the octopus also was just blend

    Plat menu régulier (octopus) superbe; Poisson arrivage, grillé, très à point; Ravioli de homard très décevant au goût (pâteux) et en quantité, surtout pour le prix. Mousse chocolat fade. Par contre, entrée salades très bonnes. Bref : inégal. Superservice et attention à mes demandes. Musique trop forte, ambiance inutilement survoltée, sans doute ok pour le personnel, mais pas pour une conversation entre clients. Accueil chaleureux.

    Restaurant was very busy so expected moderate service but was constantly reminded about how some tables received better care than us. For example our empty water bottle was removed from our table while other tables gets 2 bottles to just make sure they do not run out. Other tables were also offered complimentary dessert, while we were mainly ignored and received below average service. Food however remained excellent.

The food is what drawn us here, hands down one of the best quality in town; the service is attentive, friendly and professional. It's traditional and chic, vibrant and classy, lively and intimate.

    As always, Ferreira did not disappoint! The octopus as a starter is fantastic. The rib steak shared for two is a perfect portion for two moderate eaters. I strongly recommend Ferreira as a lunch and dinner destination.
