    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

    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

    Little gem in Le Square Phillips Hotel! The food, drinks, service, ambiance were outstanding. The cauliflower appetizer, a signature dish, was amazing. The whole meal, from smoked salmon appetizer, grilled octopus and tuna tataki mains, to the unique lemon pie dessert were complex and delicious.

    The decor is stunning, I love the style! The food was amazing and we are glad to have found a new spot in Montreal. The restaurant had a large table, so it was fairly busy, and service a bit slow. However, they are a brand new establishment and still working out the kinks. I really enjoyed the menu and every bite. We will be back and would highly recommend Sea-Me to foodies. You will be in for a treat!
