"The food was good and the ambience was good as well,but check your bill before you pay it... we were 2 and were charged 4 times for our coffee. Even though it wasn't a big amount comparing with the food charged, it IS a sign of dishonest,NO? Plus, the way we were served ....Good luck everyone! hope you will have a good experience than we had."

"We've been coming to Ferreira Cafe for a few years whenever we're in town for the F1. This year it seemed to be much less Portuguese than we remember. Perhaps it was our choices, but we came away saying that it could have been any generic high quality Mediterranean restaurant. The black bass was perfect, but had nothing in the preparation that made us think of Portugal."

"A lot if menu items that are made to stand out with flare but the delivery just isn't there. Menu items felt overhyped compared to what was being sampled. Overall the food wasn't bad, but it was nothing to brag about either - even less so with a $250 tab for 2 people which is without a bottle of wine."

"We got a great recommendation from a friend about this place for my girlfriends birthday. Service was ok till we tried to get our check, but food was meh... Not horrible, but really bland for a portugeuse restaurant. After a $220 dinner for two we left really dissapointed.. Well after waiting 30 mins to get check anyway"

"One of my favorite downtown Montreal restaurants. Our waiter was superb, and was able to recommend a wine that suited our taste perfectly. We only had one night in Montreal, and this was my first choice for a special dinner, and my wife and I were not disappointed. A great range of seafood, expertly prepared. The high quality of service, and the comfortably vibrant atmosphere make the dining experience superb."

"Excellent food, best fish in Montreal. Impressive, private importations of Portuguese wine. Great ambiance, although the music was loud during our stay.
Service is good. Our waitress was pleasant and friendly. However, the bus staff were not. They were always too quick to remove plates as if in a race. At one point, my wife had her plate taken away while I was still eating - and she had not finished yet! Waitstaff enjoyed talking among themselves during slow periods not far from us - rather unpleasant."

"Group of 5 spent a pleasant evening at Ferreira Cafe. Reservations had been made on line very simply, and the cafe easily handled a necessary last minute change in the date. Service was attentive; food, especially the fish, was very good. The only real negative was the noise level; even as a group of only 5 it was basically impossible to carry on a conversation across the table."

"Sardines were fantastic, as usual. The salted cod was just so-so this time. Only other disappointment was that we were charged for water without being asked. I didn't mention anything over 5$ but it but a little damper on the service element. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with the late night menu at Ferreira."

"La nourriture était très bonne. Les poissons que nous avons commandé (mérou et morue) étaient parfaitement cuits. Par contre, le bruit dans la salle à manger était insupportable. Nous étions deux personnes et nous pouvions à peine discuter ensemble et nous étendions très peu ce que le serveur disait(nous étions assis dans un couloir près de la cuisine).
Merci au chef et au personnel de service. Nous avons très bien manger et nous avons été bien reçus. Toutefois, le prix nous a semblé élevé et le bruit à gâcher notre soirée. Au fait, pourquoi un restaurant de cette catégorie fait-il payer l'eau ?"

"It used to be a romantic setting but now the music is so loud that people have to shout in order to be heard over this music.
The choice of music is frantic and not conducive to enjoying a relaxed meal.
Overall the noise level was so loud that we are discouraged from returning.
But the food was so good .... its a shame!"

"Though we had to wait 1/2 hr at the front of the restaurant for our table (despite having made a reservation), and though the young girls playing hostess ignored us completely after the initial greeting - we were eventually addressed by the more professional maître d' who offered us a glass of delicious white port to thank us for our patience. Once we were seated, we waited yet another 10 min. before our waitress offered us some water and drinks. After that, the dinner was flawless and the owner himself was extremely gracious. We love going to Ferreira because the food and wine is so excellent. The service is a bit hit and miss unless you get one of the more experienced waiters - in which case it's excellent - still always worth going"

"If you enjoy "happening places," you will love this restaurant. The food was excellent, and the service was good. It is not the establishment's fault that this just is not our type of restaurant. It clearly is a successful place; lots of customers - lots of raucous customers - on a Wednesday evening. It is probably the loudest expensive restaurant in which we have ever eaten. We prefer a much quieter setting for dinner, and unfortunately the noise level here colored our entire experience. However,if you like an "energetic" feel, and many people obviously do, you will enjoy Ferreira Cafe."

"food was good but not outstanding, but one would expect a lot more for the price. 3 shrimps and humus for 30$,a " special " plate had Kobe beef and 2 shrimps for...80$. You can get the same steak for one-third of the price elsewhere- I bet noone would make any difference."

"Although I have always loved Fereira I was disapointed this time.
They gave me the last table at the very back of the restaurant when quite a few tables were free towards the middle section. I was meeting a client who was already seated or else I would have complained and asked for a better table. Food not up to it's usual standards. Being Portuguese I was a little disapointed with the cod fish plate I selected (a little bland)."

"L'endroit est convivial et très animé. Le service, rapide et courtois manque de chaleur. Une salade verte en entrée peu savoureuse, comme plat, un pavé de morue avec arrêtes accompagné de deux grelots de pommes de terre, d'une asperge et de trois olives difficiles à digérer, le tout accompagné d'eau plate et d'un vin blanc correct.
Franchement, tout ça pour plus de cent dollars ? C'est bien meilleur à la maison !"
