Opinions on Ferriera Cafe on Peel?

[troutpoint]

We will be eating there the end of the month. Just wondering if there are any "Have to haves" on the menu? Or any "Must misses"? I like to go in with some information, I tend to get overwhelmed by new menus, places, etc....And when I am just with my DH, that's fine, he's used to waiting for me to be ready to order. However, we will be with a group of 8, and some are strangers. Help?

Have never had a bad dish there. I always find the octopus and chickpea starter -- Portuguese comfort food -- hard to resist.

Seafood is the strong suit here, Black Cod and the fish du jour. Can't decide? Then go with the Cataplana.

Not gonna lie, the black cod was on my "list".

Hiya! If you search the board (and be sure to spell it Ferreira) you'll find recommendations for their "poached pear stuffed with lemon rice pudding" and "lemon souffle" - see:

... as well as their Portuguese seafood, port, and more!

Thanks,I had done that...I was just hoping fo rsome more rec's that weren't based on dessert, or that were a little "fresher"....Will let you know what we think.

I love their seafood - you can't go wrong with that. I am very fond of their sea bass... and they always have a very nice fish du jour. Last time it was snapper and it was grilled to perfection.

You'll have a wonderful time!
