My new favorite seafood restaurant in Montreal…read more.. we met up at 6pm on friday night, during happy hour. The happy hour specials are one dollar oysters and ten dollars for cocktails. It is very satisfying. One caveat though, the oysters tend to have shell bits in them so be careful. I ordered the risotto as my appetizer even though it was listed as a main. My main dish was octopus. The risotto was perfect, the rice was just right, mussels, tiger shrimps, calamari and lobster tail. it was well proportioned, you could have seafood in every bite until the last bit of rice, just perfect. The octopus, came with onions, capers and olives, not my favorite combo but I did enjoy the tanginess at the end, it did grow on me. Dessert was lava cake with ice cream. We asked to have it with ice cream and it was amazing. Already planning my return...

Always get excited when a new restaurant opens its doors but was very disappointed by this place…read more There's was nothing exciting about this place decor wise or even food wise. First when I had to reserve at this place they wanted credit card information which is fine because some restaurants do that nowadays but what I didn't like was that the cancelation should be done minimum 2 days in advance if not they charge you 25$ for each person, I find that ridiculous because last minute emergency do tend to happen sometimes. Second when we got there the hostess asked us if she could seat us at the bar saying that the bar is beautiful and all. The brings us to the bar section upstairs and seats us at a tiny little bar which seats 4 ppl(nothing amazing)... The 2 other ppl that were already seated at the bar had taken 1/3 of the space leaving us a very tight area to sit and we were not comfortable sitting there. We asked to be seated elsewhere, the place looked packed but there was a table available on the floor but they told us that the only other table they had for us was a table downstairs, we agreed because we didn't really mind where to seat as long as we had more space to breath. Also something that we didn't like was that the bartender asked us if we only speak English, so we weren't quite sure why he did that remark because he was able to converse with us. When we went downstairs we realized that our table was next to the open kitchen and also we were the only ppl from the restaurant that were seated there. Which we found really odd and felt like the outcast of the restaurant. We didn't want to complain to much because we always try to give the benefit of a doubt especially when it comes to new restos. I have this place a 3 star because of the drinks, they were very well made. I definitely recommend to get the east and ivy if you like lychee and also the guilt and ginger if you like ginger. For food we got the oysters, these were really good and opened by a girl just next to entrance by order. The oysters were fresh and I love the dill mignonette, which was different then other places. For mains we got the mussel and fries. Which was okay eatable, nothing amazing. We got the new York strip and asked for medium rare but the steak came medium. The pepper sauce was too thick to my liking. We also got a side of onion rings and mushrooms, the mushrooms were good, the batter of the onion rings were have any flavor and it was bland. The waitress was nice but not really attentive, like I said before we got seated alone downstairs and we were isolated from everyone so I'm guessing she wasn't really reminding herself to come check up on us more frequently I guess. The food was average nothing spectacular about the food here. Also we didn't really like the atmosphere. I don't know if we just went on a wrong day or this place is always like this. Overall it seems like this place is good for big groups and I also heard that this place is considered a superclub. The music we were hearing was mostly techno. I give them the benefit of doubt of they moving us to a bigger space and also the men that moved us I think it was the owner checked on us twice to see if we were okay which we appreciated. Personally I would not recommend this place nor I will go back. For the price the food is not worth it.

Joe Beef was on my bucket list for my Montreal visit. I made a 9:30 PM reservation for 1 at the bar…read moreon a Wednesday evening that I arrived in Montreal from Toronto, which worked out in my favor as street parking restrictions near the restaurant were no enforced. I arrived there around 8:30 PM and waited in my car until 9:00 PM before I walked over and the hostess informed me that they were ready for me. I was greeted by JJ and the rest of the crew at the seafood bar, shown the wine/cocktail/ciders & beer menu and the main. menu. They also explained clearly the 2 daily special. I decided since I'm in Quebec, that I would order the Scallop Royale Custard, Nantua Sauce (Royale de Pétoncle Sauce Nantua) for appetizer Roasted Duck "Aux Navets" (Canard Rôti Aux Petits Navets) and I was informed I can add seared foie gras to it. I also paired it with the Notre Nacre cocktail which is mezcal based from the cocktail menu. The Scallop Royale was like a chawanmushi so clean and light with a seafood stock but loaded with scallop and pieces of lobster and the Roasted Duck was executed fantastically (medium rare) and their au poivre sauce paired so well with the duck and seared foie gras . I finished with a marjolaine which is a cake made with almond flour, chocolate, coffee and repeated 24 times! It was a nice sweet way to end the dinner and a contrast to the savory of the duck and au poivre sauce. All around amazing experience service & food.

Great meal! My…read moreexperience was very similar to the thoughts of many, Joe Beef is one of the iconic restaurants in Montreal. The beef rib was perfect! Definitely devoured the slices quickly and gnawed on the rib bone before the server took the remains of this dish away. LOL. The Spaghetti with Lobster was delicious although the lobster was slightly undercooked. The tail was especially hard to pull away from the shell. I never thought I'd say white asparagus was decadent but it surely was when topped with the sauce. The 15 layer cake can honestly be skipped as it was the thinnest slice of cake I've ever seen. LOL. It was impressive that they could even slice cake that thinly!!! The waitstaff service was great with suggestions to round out the meal perfectly. The host was personable, even helped me with understanding the street parking rules in the area taking me on a stroll outside to check my spot on a really frigid evening.

The oyster that came with it was good but I was nervous bc it was just sitting up at the bar for a bit not on ice. The fried shrimp it came with was like jerky, over cooked is an understatement. The lobster cake was filler and potato and the remoulade was odd. The crab and lobster poutine was such a disappointment. We went out of our way to try this place and it was so upsetting.

A low-key tavern style establishment with a decor full of subtle details that really entertained us. The exterior is especially understated with no clear sign to indicate there's a pub there at all. That's just the look!  The creative, very strong and well priced cocktails were out of this world. Don't be put off by the short(ish) menu, every item is of the utmost quality with meticulously picked ingredients. Our main courses were delectable and well prepared - we wish we had more.

We didn't have a reservation but the sweet man who greeted us found us a table very fast. This is a family owned business and you can tell how much pride and love they put into it. Both of the owners explained all the dishes to us and were so helpful in making our decisions. We started with the lemonade which is house made by their own mother every day. It had a different type of sweetness to it, almost like it was made with honey instead of sugar but I really enjoyed it. We also got the Trio of Salads which were so good! A few of them were a bit spicy but nothing we couldn't handle. They also kept the bread coming which I never hate! We also split the Tuna Brik and it was amazing! For our mains we had the Honey Lamb which was covered in pistachios. The lamb fell right of the bone and was so tender. We also tried the Ojja which is more of an elevated Shakshuka - dipping the bread in the sauce was a highlight at the end. Overall, this was such a unique meal with wonderful flavors.

The Concierge at my hotel recommended Ferreira, a Portuguese seafood restaurant in Montreal, and…read morewell established in Montreal. We were seated immediately that rainy early summer evening, having a reservation from our Concierge. It's a modern and streamlined looking restaurant interior with an interesting embankment that runs the length of the restaurant separating the well stocked bar from the tables with an underlit top that mimicks onyx and serves as an additional surface for service and whatever you have on your person. Porcelain plates are cracked and cemented to the wall as wallpaper, a definitive reference to Portuguese decor as well as the porcelain tiled backstop to the bar featuring a town somewhere in Portugal. All of it tastefully done and matching the authentic taste of the cuisine. We split a green salad and ordered glasses of red sangria. I asked before ordering if the sangria was served with fruit, but the sangria came out with no fruit. So I had to have them bring the fruit separately. I have never had to ask to ensure the fruit is served with sangria...ever. It was made with good red wine, but that was not a good look. The green salad was fresh, as was the fish to follow. I ordered the Rascasse or Red Scorpion fish, with crispy skin, and my friend ordered the Loup de Mer or Mediterranean Sea Bass, both flown in fresh daily as I understand. You're swimming around Portugal or thereabouts one day and filleted and plated the next...They are that fresh and this is why Ferreira is a seafood institution in Montreal. I enjoyed the slightly oily Rascasse, but the Loup de Mer I tasted was where it's at. I recommend highly the Loup de Mer! Notably, it took the kitchen a considerable time to produce our main courses, at least thirty minutes by our counting, and we both had the same observation and conversation as to length of time for the fish to come out of the kitchen. They served the fish with a very underwhelming orzo cooked in a tomato base, but it turned out very dry and unappealing. The cauliflower and broccoli were fresh and not overcooked, but I don't know what happened to the orzo. We were in alignment as to the orzo and both of us left it rather untouched. It would have been better to serve it with some quality yellow or saffron rice. I finished with an espresso with a very rich full cream that was on point. There are some definite high points to Ferreira Cafe when it comes to their fresh and authentic seafood focus and decor, but a little more attention should be paid to the orzo side and sangria, the latter being a layup and missed opportunity never missed at any Portuguese or Spanish restaurant. So evaluating Ferreira, a venerable restaurant with these inconsistencies and the fact this could have been an aberration, makes it a challenge. My split of the check with tip ran nearly $124 CAD, so not overly expensive for this level of freshness, but still with some misses and not the best value I experienced in Montreal. 3.7 stars

When looking for a great location for a work team dinner, Ferreira Cafe came highly recommended…read more Booking a week out, getting a reservation wasn't difficult (though I have heard that during city-wide events, this place can get booked up fast). Walking in, the restaurant is very classy and broken up into two main seating areas (lower level, and then steps to the higher level that is situated right in front of the kitchen). I really enjoyed where we were sat as watching the chefs prepare the food through the clear glass panel in front of the kitchen was great. For the menu, they had a great selection, with many dishes being seafood-based. For our appetizer, we ordered their special, which at the time was their Hamachi ceviche. This was delicious with a great sauce and very fresh-tasting fish. They also had an extensive wine menu, and we settled on a white wine (sorry not a wine connoisseur so no idea what kind was ordered!) I was convinced by our server to order their most known dish (that has been on their menu for decades), which was the black cod on top of mushrooms and a potato puree. This was truly cooked to perfection - it was soft and flaky. This was my first time having black cod and wow was it a delight. It paired perfectly with the starchy potatoes (super creamy!!) and the sauteed mushrooms. The sauce was also not too overpowering and mellowed out the potatoes. I can see why it is their iconic dish. For dessert, the team ordered a wide variety but I settled on their Nage, which I would later realize implies a dessert soup of sorts. I was taken aback as this was not what I was expecting, but that is completely on me for not googling haha. The dessert features a waffle topping with a basil lime sorbet and fruits. The sorbet was absolutely delicious and though the texture was odd at first, it was delicious. Next time, I'm eager to try the more familiar desserts that my coworkers ordered, such as the churros and Portuguese egg tart! A great spot for dinner that I hope to be back in Montreal to try other menu items in the future!
