I wish this restaurant was in another location. The parking is hugely challenging. That being said we were greeted warmly. The vibe slightly warehouse chic but warm. We had excellent service by Stephane who was friendly, helpful and made the experience that much more enjoyable. She had a small salad. I had the octopus to start. Tender and wonderful flavor. She had the cod which was light and so well done. Thoroughly enjoyed. I had the osso bucco with risotto. Clearly a huge winner. Every bite was sensational. The veal was tender and flavourful. The bone narrow delicious and the risotto just right. Only the place prevented me from licking the plate...lol. a huge wow! Dessert was selected by my companion which I forgot. Food is spectacular

One word is enough to always describe our Ferreira Café experience: IMPECCABLE we always start the evening with a glass of white port and then the crispy octopus and the Morue Noire as our main dish- tastefully prepared and presented- the server was very friendly and we made it all the way to dessert delicious pasteis de nata and citrus sorbet - a great evening - we’ll be back no doubt

Loved this place! Delicious appetizers. seared scallops and grilled steak. Great recommendations for wine and for the main, shared a seafood and meat paella with black rice. Loved the atmosphere, beautiful bar wall, dishes, friendly service. Only negative was the churros were undercooked. Will definitely go back.

Went to a date with my girlfriend there and we had a very nice and private place as I requested when doing the reservation, and the staff was very nice and making sure regularly that we had everything we needed. This might actually be the best place where I had a date night and plan to go back as soon as I can
