Ferreira Café

Ferreira Café is an upscale Portuguese restaurant at 1446 Rue Peel in downtown Montréal (Centre-Ville), Québec, Canada, known for grilled fish and a large Portuguese wine list, and listed in the Michelin Guide Québec. The menu centres on Portuguese seafood, with whole fish cooked over a grill and shellfish preparations that reflect the country's coastal traditions, along with dishes built around salt cod, a staple of Portuguese cooking. Specific current dishes are not documented in the guide data, so visitors should ask the staff about the day's fish. The dining room is polished and comfortable, with white-tablecloth service, a moderate noise level and a smart-casual to dressy dress code; it is a common choice for business dinners and celebrations downtown. The wine list is a major feature, with a deep selection from Portuguese regions such as the Douro and Alentejo, and the staff can guide visitors through bottles that suit grilled fish. Prices are in the upper range, about CAD 80-140 per person depending on the fish and wine selected. Reservations are made through the restaurant's own website, which links to its current online booking platform, and booking ahead is advisable for weekend evenings and Grand Prix or festival periods when downtown fills. Rue Peel runs through the heart of downtown, close to Sherbrooke Street, McGill University and the Peel and McGill metro stations, so the restaurant is convenient for visitors staying in central hotels. It is a few blocks from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the shopping streets, making it a practical dinner stop after a day downtown.
