    Music was 11/10, creating a perfect atmosphere. The food was all divine done in particular the mussels a la crème… they were the best mussels I’ve ever had in my life and I do not say that lightly as I try mussels at every restaurant I’ve ever been to. The hugel reisling was delightful when paired with the duck confit and service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly with a great sense of humor. Could not have asked for a better experience, but I do have one question… I must know what is your playlist????

    This was my first experience with this restaurant and the menu has gluten and dairy free options-the food was absolutely delicious and well worth the price. Wine was amazing as well. Love the decor and overall ambiance and appreciated our server was able to communicate so well given we were not fluent in French.

    World-class service and menu. One of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. Perfect for a special or romantic occasion but also great for a small group dinner. We highly recommend Ferreira, a true Canadian gem.
