Best Portuguese Restaurants in Mile End

This is an excellent restaurant with what appears be a strong local following. The menus is in French only so if you go and are not French I would try to study it in advance and do not bring kids, for reasons that my story will now illustrate. what happened to us is that the waitstaff kind of corralled us somewhat firmly into a $125 per plate samplers for me and my young son, who ate none of his. I don’t really blame them because my son insisted on spaghetti so after 20 seconds of that they were done with that and it was prix fixe for the Americans. So it was I ended up paying about $400 after taxes wine and tip for some appetizers and a small piece of steak and two glasses of wine. I think if we had just pushed back and asked for a few minutes to decipher the menu, we could have ordered alla carte and had a better experience. Anyway, I would view this as more of a cautionary tale for wayward Americans than a knock on this establishment.

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

In town for business; we made a late last minute reservation for two., on a Wednesday and during off season. The restaurant was quiet, which allowed for an intimate quiet dinner in a comfortable beautiful setting. Amber, our server was warm. welcoming and knowledgeable of the menu and wine list. We went with the daily fish specials, which were accurately described and recommended. Dishes were hot and excellent to taste. Exceptional service, food and wine for value. Will visit this restaurant again in the future.

Great food and service. Would highly recommend to anyone.
