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.

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.

5 stars all around! I went here for dinner & drinks with a group of friends & everything was amazing. The hostess was so fun & friendly & seated us right away. We ordered some drinks off of the wine & cocktail menu & all were very happy with them - I personally ordered the Rodi Mule & loved it. It was a good pomegranate twist on the classic Moscow mule. Our server Josh was very friendly too & gave us some great recommendations. We ended up ordering several dishes to share & everything was delicious but our favorites were the moussaka & the shrimp saganaki. To finish we tried the bougatsa dessert & it was so good, & plenty big to split between the five of us. On top of the great food & service the interior of the restaurant itself was beautiful. We arrived shortly after they opened for dinner but by the time we left it was crowded so it seems like a popular spot. Overall we were super impressed by the service, food, & drinks & would absolutely come back!

Rolled up to satisfy an octopus craving. Octopus was perfectly cooked (sous vide + grilled), finished with a little crisp on the thin end. I would've preferred the dish to be a little more on the savory side though. There was a layer of onion confit on the Fava bean puree. Delicious, but a little too much sweetness for my taste. The baklava with crême pâtissière, however, was everything! One of the best desserts I've had in a long time 🤤 I started with the Smoked Paloma cocktail, also amazing! A bit of smoke, a bit of heat, a bit of tang, a bit of bitter, a bit of sweet👌🏻The music threw me off. I felt like I was watching one of those long beautiful-landscape YouTube drone videos. Pop songs redone with a Greek musak flair, it's a confusing genre lol I didn't enjoy it. Service was 10/10 thanks to Kim & Alina. Kim helped me select my wine & dessert & was spot on with the dessert. They both took the time to chat, very kind & personable.

Est-ce qu'on peut débuter en mentionnant en premier la beauté des lieux ? L'emplacement est magnifique & surtout donne l'opportunité de terminer sa soirée à la terrasse Neligan qui est sans doute une des plus belles ! J'ai été conquise par la variété des repas. Tous aussi savoureux un que l'autre, ce menu nous fait voyager à chaque bouchée ! J'ai été plus que surprise par le Tyropita! La présentation est exceptionnelle & que dire des saveurs ! Vous devez absolument essayer les crevettes Saganaki. Avec la bisque de homard, j'en j'aurai pris 2 assiettes ! Le poulet était délicieux & surtout tellement juteux ! J'ai rarement autant apprécié une sauce d'accompagnement ! Nous avions comme arrivage pour le poisson le loup de mer ! La présentation est merveilleuse! Un de mes poisson préféré en plus & qui est difficile d'apprêter de façon adéquate ! Je n'ai pas été déçue ! La carte de dessert est aussi alléchante ! Les vins? La sélection est variée & nous avons reçu des bons conseils pour accompagner nos repas. Service 5* Ambiance & musique 5* Nourriture 5* Venez en groupe ! C'est l'occasion de passer une belle soirée ! Je vais y retourner c'est certain !
