So glad a local contact recommended Ferreira Cafe to us, an amazing first night in Montreal meal!\n\nAmbience is slightly upscale but not formal or stuffy. Broken plate wall is a great touch. Aperitif from the host for a slight wait in our reservation was a class act.\n\nFor appetizers we had the grilled sardines and the seared Tuna. Both were excellent. The sardines were prepared very classic and simple with olive oil, salt capers and oregano grilled with a slight char, perfection!  The tuna was seared with a Peppercorn crust, raw center and was perfect.\n\nFor my entree it had to be the black cod. The cod was light, tasted like a sweet buttery almost dessert like dish and was placed atop potato pur\u00e9e. While eating it was sometimes difficult to tell where the cod finished and the potato started. A wonderful dish finished in a wine reduction with porcini mushrooms. I would say this is a must order dish.\n\nMy favorite meal in Montreal for sure and based on the crowds I saw there there the next afternoon while strolling by, I say it's a favorite for many locals!
