ferreira café

woo my highest rating given so far

this place is pretty amazing food wise first off

seafood platter, so fresh and the meat was so sweet and juciy. oysters great, lobster juicy and fresh, prawns delicious one of the best platters ive had

black cod. the smoothest softest and juiciestcodive ever had period. definately a must to try here. no matter what order the cod

the fish and seafood bouillabaisse was decent, the other two dishes really over shadowed it and hard to truly enjoy after the platter and cod. flavourful and the seafood inside was nice but recommend you try the other two

staff was also very polite and attentive, although looks like theyre stretch thin amongst tables. almost made full marks if not for the lack of staff and the bouillabaisse

ferreira is not the classic portuguese restaurant but it adapts its cuisine with a modern approach. the ambiance is upscale and stylish with all the details very curated. the tuna and salmon tartare were exceptional and really fresh. while the restaurant is famous for its seafood dishes, i was the only one ordering thecodfillet. my family and wife ordered the 18oz steak and the filet mignon. flavors were simple but not simplistic!!! the use of few spices elevated the taste of both the fish and the meats (which were perfectly cooked medium-rare as requested). given the price, i would say it is perfect for a special occasion or celebration.

very tasty fresh food. i love thecoddish and their other seafood is always amazing. quite costly, but definitely a nice place to visit once in a while.

great experience!. i was in montreal this past weekend with another couple and was told to try ferreira! right when we walked in we got a great feel of a restaurant we knew we would love. the atmosphere even at 10:30 pm was amazing. music was pumped, decor was amazing and the lighting was just perfect. the manager greeted us with some porto which started our night off perfectly. octopus was to die for as well as the sardines! the blackcodwas amazing and the duck risotto was served in a crock pot which we loved as well! service was quick and amazing even though the restaurant was packed. this was one of the best montreal experiences we've had and we will be back for sure! thank you to the staff and manager for an amazing time!

treasures of the sea on painted ceramic plates. ferreira offers a lunch surrounded with hand painted pottery and ceramic plates from portugal. it is not just about colourful plates, but also tasteful cuisine. the caldo verde is a traditional and soothing portuguese soup which should kick start every meal, but the grilled calamari will not disappoint you. for the main course, thecodis a must if you are curious to find out how it feels to savour fish that melts in your mouth; a real treasure! however, the service was disappointing; the waiters were disorganized and lacking table courtesy. in fact, the art of "waitering" clearly did not equal the art on the walls. the pastel de nata, a scrumptious and well-liked portuguese pastry (also known as a piece of art), should complete every meal. if you rather select a lighter desert, the trilogy of sorbet (mango, raspberry and citrus) is to die for. desert at ferreira is a main course itself; make sure you leave room!

go elsewhere. expensive. the food was uneven - the sardines and saltedcodbraz style (brandade) were good; the blackcod(their "most popular" and expensive dish) was bland. however, the service was awful. we were first ignored for almost 1 hour and then rushed through our meal in 20 minutes - to the accompaniment of sarcasm from the waiter about our impatience. also, expect a lot of noise.

great food good service! had the bouillabaise and blackcodrisotto. highly recommend both. fish was done to perfection. steep yes, but worth it.
