    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

    The tomato soup with arugula pistou was fabulous. The 9e burger with carmelized onions was very good, and perfectly cooked -- although the charred outside of the burger did not appeal. The service (Destiny) was outstanding! What a treat!
