I had an amazing time at this restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the staff were warm & attentive, & the atmosphere was both friendly & elegant. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented - special mention for the dessert, which was a real explosion of flavours! I highly recommend this place for a memorable dining experience.

This is a beautiful Greek restaurant, located in the old port of Montreal. I went there for lunch & had the lunch menu which gave you an appetizer & main course of your choice. I had the greek salad which was amazing with the chicken. The waiters were attentive & made sure we had a great time. I enjoyed my experience & I would definitely recommend!

DISCLAIMER - My 2 hobbies are eating & travelling. I have worked for incredibly talented Chefs both in the United States & Canada & consider myself a good judge of food. I love Michelin dining (especially in Europe), but i am just as happy eating Pho in the Chợ Bến Thành in Hồ Chí Minh. I have stayed at 5 star hotels & slept in 18 person dorms. I write this, so you know who this review is coming from :) Mama C blew us away. We came late for cocktails & desserts & In a city known for its culinary prowess, it stood out as a true champion. If you're looking for an unforgettable cocktail (the simple gin & tonic one) & dessert (the mille feuille baklava ) make a beeline for Mama C. Even though both items are simple, they just delivered on a new level, I would have to say it was among the best desserts i've ever had. Our waitress Nadine was also awesome, attentive, & nice. Only drawback. Everything took awhile to come, but it was all worth the wait.

Very attentive & friendly staff, although obviously not happy when they did not get the 15% tip. Sorry guys, we were on a budget, nothing wrong with your service. Food was OK, already on the cold side when it was served . I found the pastitsio too deconstructed & too modern take for my liking, sorry chef. The beef kebab though was delicious.

Recently, my friends & I had the pleasure of dining at a new Greek restaurant nestled in the heart of Old Montreal, right under a famous hotel. From the moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped by the restaurant's stunning decor & vibrant atmosphere. The combination of traditional Greek elements & modern design created an inviting space that truly set the stage for an enjoyable evening. The service was top-notch throughout our visit. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, & eager to share recommendations, which added a personal touch to our dining experience. It's always nice when the staff genuinely care about making your meal memorable. As for the menu, while there were several enticing options to choose from, we did find ourselves wishing for a broader selection typical of a Greek restaurant. Unfortunately, some of the dishes we had our hearts set on were unavailable that night, which was a slight disappointment. Nonetheless, the food we did order was well-prepared & flavorful, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Greece. While we can't wait to return & explore more of the menu, we did find the prices to be on the high side, which might make frequent visits a little challenging. However, the combination of the enchanting atmosphere, attentive service, & delicious food makes it a worthwhile experience for special occasions or a delightful night out in Old Montreal. Overall, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a visit. With its charming ambiance & great service, it has all the makings of a promising new spot in the city!
