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.

Ferreira Café might be a Montreal institution, but it’s hard to see it as a serious contender for Michelin recognition—despite what Time Out or Tastet suggest. The food was surprisingly bland and uninspired, even the so-called signature dishes. It’s not easy to make Mediterranean grilled sea bass dry and flavorless, but somehow they managed. I found myself constantly reaching for lemon and salt. A refresher course from Milos on how to grill fish wouldn’t hurt. The experience felt like a restaurant coasting on its legacy—perhaps with the A-team long gone. The hostess was notably unwelcoming, though the rest of the staff did their best to make up for it.
