We had an amazing dinner. My what an amazing service from Nick & the rest. We went with the all fish option. The octopus was a miss, but over cooked. The dessert was ok. But we loved all the other food & the wine.

Beautiful Decor, Ghost-Town Portions

If your goal for a celebratory dinner is to leave hungrier than when you arrived, this is your spot. We hit this place up for Father's Day & left completely starving. It's an incredibly expensive establishment that treats food like it's coming out of a rationing camp.

The breakdown of a genuinely frustrating meal:

The Sea Bream Fish: So malnourished it was practically a garnish.

The Lamb Chops: Thick with unrendered fat, & the kitchen didn't even bother asking for a temperature preference.

The Chicken Sandwich: A total mystery meat situation. Didn't look, texture, or taste like chicken. It tasted like stringy boiled fish.

The Lone Survivor: The French toast was actually great-but a single slice of bread shouldn't have to carry a three-figure bill.

The Verdict: The interior design is gorgeous & highly Instagrammable, but you can't eat the wallpaper. Factor in a nightmare parking situation & microscopic portions, & the math just doesn't add up. Skip the hype; it's a hard pass.

Amazing lunch at Mama C! The fish was incredibly fresh, imported from Greece twice a week & you can absolutely taste it. Shady our waiter was fantastic, made the whole experience even better. Will 100% be back!

Great experience with a delicious lunch menu. We reserved a table for 15 people to celebrate a colleague's retirement. The experience from completing the reservation up until the end of meal was great. Melissa was very nice & took time to explain the menu.
The fish of the day was one of the best fish dishes we've ever had!

We stumbled across Mama C by accident & oh my goodness it was some of the best food I've ever had. My boyfriend & I go to Greece a lot & he being Greek is very particular about authentic Greek food. The food blew our mind. We got the Greek salad, full sea bass with air of beets. My boyfriend never eats vegetables & he raved about the roasted beets. They were amazing, & the fish was spectacular. He even went back to the chef to personally compliment him on the beets!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Also the staff is wonderful & very kind. Can't wait to go back once I'm in Montreal again.

Mama C is an absolute gem. The food is consistently delicious, comforting, & thoughtfully prepared, with flavours that feel both elevated & soulful. Every dish is made with care, & you can truly taste the quality of the ingredients. I keep going back for the grilled octopus & grilled fish. They are able to accommodate all my dietary needs without even raising an eyebrow.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, & unpretentious-the kind of place you want to return to again & again. The service is friendly, attentive, & genuine, making the entire experience feel effortless & welcoming.

Mama C strikes that rare balance between neighbourhood favourite & destination-worthy restaurant. A must-visit in Montréal, whether for a casual meal or a special moment shared around great food.

Exceptional from start to finish. Shoutout to the sous chef & our waitress Melissa. Try the fish of the day, the beat salad, & the Greek salad. The 12-month Assyrtiko was a 10/10.
