Ferreira Café

Ferreira est devenu notre resto de prédilection pour un date night! La nourriture, le service, l'ambiance, tout est toujours parfait, on adore. Maintenant fiancés, on songe à la salle privée pour notre réception de mariage, à voir!

I plan many group dinners in Montreal and this is my go to - in either a private dining room or in the main restaurant. Everyone always raves about the food and service! Ferreira Cafe makes my life much easier as I don't ever worry about complaints!

Foods were an amazing, and service was top notch.

Side note- for desert, the tasting desert set will fit a family of 4 with no issues and you dont need to order any other dessert.

Great selection of fish plates and then some daily specials.specials. I am sorry but when the main dishes came I started on my salmon and after I finished I started to take pictures of the other dishes. It was all great.

Funny story. I was with a visitor, and it was time to eat but so late that many places were closed. I did a quick Google search as we wandered in the rain for a nearby spot that was decent but affordable. I chose this establishment, as I recognized the name and assumed that as it was Ferreira CAFÉ, that it was the simplified bistro/café within the Ferreira restaurant group. I was expecting a small selection of soups, salads, paninis, viennoisseries, coffee.

While I might have gotten clued in when we were asked if we had had reservations, I only fully realized my enormous mistake once we were smoothly seated, our wet coats taken to the cloak room, and I opened the menu and started examining it.

Omg.
I was mortified.

I am currently at a point in my life where I am conserving the last few dollars on my Starbucks account as a special treat for myself for around the Winter Holidays. I am not at a point in my life where I can casually wander into one of Montreal's most famous fine dining experiences.

Fortunately, it was simply funny, and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at a pleasantrestaurantwith excellent service.

I ordered the bread basket.in part because I actually wasn't very hungry, and also because I wasso mortified and it was $5. It was a small sliced fresh crusty sourdough roll with a wonderful fluffy, soft crumb, served to perfection with little cups of herbaceous olive oil and seasoned olives.

We shared the tasting dessert plate of their Portugese specialties, which was simply everything I could have possibly wanted, tasty and beautifully presented. Rich, creamy chocolate mousse, delicate rice pudding, warm churros. Perfection.

Not only do I have a new amusing vignette to share in conversation, but I have finally been to the one and only Ferreira Café.

Which is not a café.
Don't make my mistake!

Food was absolutely phenomenal. The best Portuguese restaurant I’ve ever eaten at by far. Everything from the appetizer to dessert was delicious. The best service I’ve ever had. Our glasses never went empty. A huge thank you to our server Michael for going above and beyond. Can’t wait to go back.

Nous sommes allés au Café Ferreira pour notre anniversaire. Excellente cuisine et service hors pair. Notre serveuse Anne Marie s’est avérée conviviale, professionnelle, avec des initiatives qui ont rendu notre soirée mémorable. Merci à Carole qui s’est montré attentive et compréhensive à notre arrivée restaurant. Nous recommandons fortement le Café Ferreira.

Nous avons passé une super belle soirée chez Ferreira. La nourriture était excellente et de qualité. Tristan le sommelier nous a fait une belle dégustation de vin avec de belles suggestions. Mika notre serveur était magnifique. Très attentionné, à l’écoute et efficace. Merci à toute l’équipe, nous reviendrons c’est sûr.

Wow, this place has got to be one of the better season restaurants we’ve been too. We came to have dinner for our eight year anniversary. The service was amazing, everyone was very helpful.the place is beautiful, and the food is phenomenal. The menu had so many options that looked delicious to try so we definitely will be back.
We started off with the seafood tower, and got the lobster Caesar salad, and the cod fish. Our favourite is the code fish dish! With the perfect mash purée, and the cod fish flaked to perfection. It was definitely the star of the night!

The food and the atmosphere was amazing. The waiter Mike was friendly and always made sure we were taken care of. This is the best service and experience by far and they went above and beyond my expectations. We never waited for anything and the whole team at Ferreira’s worked together to ensure their guests were happy, and were never waiting for service. Our waters were always filled without asking. Our wine glasses were always being filled and it was not overwhelming at all and just right. The food is to die for and I will definitely be a return customer. Thank you to the staff at Ferreira Cafe for the best experience.

Je fréquente ce restaurant depuis 2006. Je n'ai jamais été déçu.
Je précise que je ne suis pas du genre à me satisfaire de peu.
Je suis prêt à payer mais j'en veux pour mon argent. Ce soir, je me suis délecté de l'entrée de burrata et ses tomates ancestrales, du pata negra, de la sole de Douvres ainsi que des pasteis de nata. Champagne tout le long du repas ainsi qu'un très bon capuccino. Service courtois et attentionné de la part de Jackie, la barmaid, car je m'asseois toujours au bar. Magnifique décor du restaurant et ambiance contribuent également à nous faire voyager au Portugal.

One of our best Portuguese dinner ever. Rice with fruit du mer and grilled halibut were excellent. Expertly chosen Portuguese wines. Very good staff. However, its atmosphere on a Thursday evening (7pm) was horrible - sound proofing did not work well and the weird/loud/annoying music spoiled what could have been a fondly memorable dinner.

J'ai essayé le poisson St-Pierre accompagnés de légumes et cetait extraordinaire. Le vin maison est excellent. Le service est pas comparable. Excellente atmosphère, un must!

Il semblerait que nous soyons les seuls a ne pas avoir aimé mais bon je me lance… soirée en amoureux, nous étions sur la terrasse par une belle soirée de septembre. J’ai adoré être sur la terrasse extérieur qui est couverte. On commence par des drinks. Ne buvant pas de vin le choix des cocktails est plus que limités. Pas le choix, nous y allons avec le classique vodka soda. Le service est excellent. A chaque fois qu’on vient nous voir on se surprend a dire combien ici au Ferreira on est traité aux petits oignons. Par contre pour nous la nourriture a été une grande déception. Ayant été au Portugal j’avoue que cette cuisine n’est pas ma préféré mais je m’attendais a plus du Ferreira ayant lu d’excellent commentaires. Le pire plat pour moi était la morue noir. Une morue dans un bain de pomme de terre pilé agrémenté d’une sauce brune digne d’une sauce en conserve acheté en épicerie. Rien de ce plat de m’a plus ainsi qu’a mon conjoint qui aime tout. Il a apprécié son saumon mais rien d’extraordinaire. Je n’ai pas aimé la pieuvre qui était tellement sec qu’elle me roulait dans la bouche. Je n’ai pas aimé le thon non plus mais cette fois ce n’est pas de leur faute je n’aime pas cette partie du thon extrêmement grasse (le ventre). Bref pour le prix nous n’y retourneront pas. Même de force. Tout de même un beau resto, avec une bonne ambiance et un excellent service.

Tout simplement wow! Bonne nourriture, service impeccable, l'ambiance, la musique. Merci!
Thank you guys! Food was delicious, great service, atmosphere and music.
Everything was great. Everything is delicious, very tasty! Great atmosphere, music, high level of service!

This place was great! The food was fresh and delicious and the service was more than excellent! Everyone was nice and they explained to us the menu with patience! The wine bottles are cheaper compared to other restaurants around the neighborhood Also, I loved how fresh the seafood was and how they can cook certain plates to your liking too! The dessert platter just added to all the amazing dishes we tried.

Not your typical Portuguese restaurant in Montreal, Quebec. Food, drinks, and service were top notch. We had fish all around, and it was divine. Bring your credit card. Lol. You will want to taste everything on the menu.

Thank you Evan and Jean Francois - great service:)
The ambiance here is amazing/ romantic/ fun!
The food is fresh and delicious thank you! Also the best espresso martini!
Huge thanks to Fernando and Brenda for making our experience all that much better:)

The food was out of this world good! Great atmosphere and service. Must visit if you're visiting Montreal.
