Absolutely outstanding! Authentic Greek flavors, generous portions, & warm, welcoming service that makes you feel like family. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional Greek dining experience.
Mama C is a beautifully appointed restaurant with excellent service. However, that is the end of the good news. The food is less than average & terribly overpriced for what you get. In addition, the very annoying music makes the dining experience unpleasant. There are many, many excellent restaurants in Montreal but Mama C should not be included on that list.
I whole-heartedly recommend Mama C in Montreal's Vieux Port. The quality of everything that is presented here (the attention to detail in the decor, the atmosphere, the service, the creativity of the platings & recipes, the deliciousness of every dish, the many options available, the quantity of each portion & so much more) is incredibly high. We loved every dish, individual portions & shared ones, & we felt at home in a cozy atmosphere with a very attentive staff. Top notch! It is not inexpensive but it is absolutely worth it. Not just food but a beautiful experience that will stay with you for years to come. Thank you, Mama C! We will certainly return!
Absolutely loved my experience at Mama C! The atmosphere is warm & elegant, with stunning decor that feels like a perfect mix of Mediterranean charm & Old Montreal sophistication.
The food was phenomenal - fresh, vibrant, & beautifully plated. The dorade sashimi & the lamb shoulder (carved right at the table!) were absolute standouts.
A special shoutout to Leslie, the sommelière, who made our night extra special. Her wine recommendations were thoughtful & spot-on, & you could really feel her passion & deep knowledge. She brought a whole new layer of enjoyment to the meal - the wine pairings truly elevated each dish.
Service overall was excellent: attentive, friendly, & unrushed. Mama C is ideal for date night, a celebration, or just a memorable evening out. Can't wait to return!
Absolutely loved the this place the good so really delicious. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing & beautiful. The staff are super friendly. They have menus in English. Over all they created a memorable night for us. Definitely recommend.
We were a group of 4: ordered 2 sashimi, shimp & lamb chops, 2 glasses whites wines. $300. At that price i expected à little more. One of the fish was extremely salty, & the staff was notified but not ackno?wedged. I trust this was a one off incident, & would welcome à chance for remediation. If this post stands , it means issue hasnt beem resolved as of yet .The venue is beautiful .

We came here for breakfast & everything was wonderful. The service was excellent, & the staff made us feel very welcome. I really love this place-the interior is beautiful & the overall atmosphere is very warm & pleasant. One of my favorite spots!
The octopus was amazing, but the shrimp & orzo dish was our favorite. The sea bass tartare was fresh & delicious. We had the chocolate tart with pistachios, ice cream & beautiful lattes to end what was a truly phenomenal meal. Other people were talking about how amazing the lamb is, so we will have to go back to try that. Even the asparagus we ordered was charred to perfection with a citrus sauce, sprinkled with feta... Truly delicious!
The decor is beautiful & made up of marble & leather. We sat at an amazing table that looked out on a beautiful street in the heart of the old Port. All around us were little intimate places which are perfect for working or romance.
But it is the staff that take the experience to another level. Working together as a seamless team, everyone from the valet to the waiter & waitresses to the chef were attentive & kind.
We had a fabulous time from beginning to end. Truly a wonderful experience.
Beautiful restaurant. We loved some plates (shrimp, moussaka, salads). But some need to be improved (too much heavy cream on the truffle pasta, the chicken is average with no veggies to the side, chocolate tart was too dry). I believe for the pricing they could definitely ask their chef to work better & fix these issues. Great ambiance.
Mama C's is a beautifully designed restaurant, & if you want an elegant night out, this is a lovely spot to visit. The food is great, & you should get a few things to share because there are many delicious plates to try. The meat plates were all good, & the spanakopita salad was a delight, but I'd personally nix the Tzatziki entrée, it wasn't bad, just plain & not worth the money. I would also highly recommend the Bougatsa dessert, it is delicious & honestly huge. We all shared, & we barely finished it. Keep in mind, though, that this restaurant is in a nice hotel downtown, so it is on the pricier side, but honestly, it was worth it, & no one was left wanting more.

First time in this beautiful restaurant & I loved it! I already reserved for my anniversary at the end of this month. Food is really delicious, I strongly recommend the salads. Great drinks & very nice music. Kudos.
We had an incredible experience at Mama C for a birthday dinner! The food was absolutely amazing-each dish was flavourful & beautifully presented. The attention to detail in the flavors & presentation truly elevated the dining experience. The staff were attentive, friendly, & made us feel so welcome throughout the evening. They even went the extra mile to make the birthday celebration special with a thoughtful dessert & warm wishes. The ambiance was perfect, creating a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. We'll definitely be coming back for more memorable meals. Highly recommend!
Amazing restaurant, the food is to die for with an incredible service. Thanks to our waitress Candice we spent a wonderful evening ! We tried a selection of the starters & mezze & were beautifully impressed. New favourite spot in Montreal ✨

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.
The atmosphere is amazing & the restaurant is beautiful!! We got multiple things for the middle & I can honestly say that the only 2 that are worth ordering is the spinach salad & the fries, other than that the rest was not wow... The octopus didn't really have taste, the meatballs were not good at all, the kebab was ok The drinks are very good tho! The hostess at the entrance was amazing! She gives you a very good feeling as soon as you walk in! We could have had a better waitress because she seemed like she was annoyed & we were wasting her time
This brand new restaurant has a beautiful design, gorgeous work from the designer BUT the service is horrible. For example we had to wait for over 45 minutes to start ordering. When I was asking for our waiter the answer was: we are very busy currently. Then the prices are super high for a Greek restaurant. It costed us 170$ for two people sharing 2 entrees (Greek salad & grilled calamari) & one chicken dish. Beautiful design but not an experience I was expecting from a Greek restaurant at all.
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!
Mama C is a hidden gem that perfectly marries style & substance. The décor is chic, with elegant touches that create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. Every detail, from the lighting to the furnishings, is beautifully curated, making it a feast for the eyes before you even take a bite. As for the food, it's nothing short of exquisite. Each dish is prepared with finesse, offering flavors that are both rich & refined. From the starters to the desserts, every plate was a delightful experience, clearly crafted with care & creativity. Mama C is the kind of place where both the setting & the cuisine elevate your dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable & delicious meal in a beautifully designed space.
