Mama C is a tribute to the land of olive groves, where flavors bask in the Mediterranean sun and dance under the starlit sky. Inspired by the freshness of the islands & the warmth of the mainland, our dishes are a testament to quality, from seafood & meat to local and fresh ingredients, they evoke a modern and contemporary twist on Greek tradition. Blending citrus and herbal notes with fresh produce from land & sea, Mama C presents both classic and modern dishes, each designed to share & warm your heart.
Across many visits, Mama C earns praise for a warm, elegant atmosphere, creative Greek-inspired dishes that feel refined yet comforting, and consistently attentive service. Dishes such as octopus, sea bass, pastitsio, vibrant salads, and well balanced desserts showcase thoughtful presentation and bold flavors, while the wine and cocktails add further finesse. The vibe works beautifully for date nights, celebrations, or a casual dinner with friends, with a stylish interior and welcoming staff contributing to a memorable experience. Some comments note smaller portions or higher prices, and a few evenings can be busier or quieter, but the overall impression is one of quality, hospitality, and a place many guests are eager to return to.
Had such an amazing experience at this Greek restaurant. The sea bass was incredible, so fresh & full of flavor. Every dish we tried was delicious & beautifully presented. Highly recommend!
Hands down a great experience!! From the fresh fish to the delightful service. A gem in old Montreal. Beautiful decor & very airy! Cozy indeed whether you go as a group or a couple. Thank you

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!
One of the better places in Old Montreal. Nice atmosphere in both the cafe & restaurant side. The green salad was fresh, delicious & enough to share. The moussaka was tasty but needed a bit more flavor. Shrimp & orzo dish was really good. Service was excellent even with large lunch crowd. Highly recommend

went here with my friend & it did not disappoint at all. we were so amazed by the amazing flavour of every single meal we had. i would definitely recommend sharing/splitting items! it's a much better experience & can actually help you save a little on your final bill. it was such a nice, romantic atmosphere but was a little chilly, so learn from my mistake & wear long sleeves! valet was super helpful & reliable, had no problems with that & made the experience stress free. we got the classic tzatziki, truffled crispy tyropita, pastitsio with seasonal fresh black truffle, & the spanakopita salad. each meal was mouthwatering. overall, amazing experience & we are already planning our next visit!
Very excited to try this restaurant as we were told that the food was amazing & everyone was raving about it.
Ambiance 9/10
Decor was beautiful, chill with a tint of luxury. Did love the waiter's uniform. Changed from the regular black we see in all other restaurants.
Food 10/10
The food was DELICIOUS. Honestly everything we ordered tasted so good & was so fresh. The grilled octopus HIT the spot, the free range chicken was juicy & so tasty & the lamb… listen, you just gotta go & try it for yoursel!! ⭐?⭐?⭐?
SERVICE 9'5/10
I only took out 0.5 because it seems that it was a busy night & our server was responsible for multiple tables which sometimes caused longer wait times for us to get his attention but that's not something YLIAN could control. He was wonderful from beginning to end, really chill vibe & demeanor & making sure he wasn't hovering over us. We did get a chance to have a nice conversation with him at the end of the night & he is a lovely young man! Wishing him the best in his future plans.
VALET 5/10
We found a parking when we arrived on the next street but used the valet service to make sure the car would be moved to the front of the restaurant whenever possible. It wasn't so we essentially paid to have our car parked where we left it the whole night & brought to us at the end of the night - we could have walked. 😅
All in all, I would go back cause I want to try everything on the menu!
Six of us went for dinner on New Year's Day while on a quick trip from Toronto. We already had high expectations for this restaurant, but it completely exceeded them. Nicki was an exceptional server & struck the perfect balance of attentiveness, personality, & professionalism. He walked us through the menu, helped curate our experience, & offered spot on recommendations. Honestly, Nicki's service alone is reason enough to visit.
The food was flavourful, fresh, & beautifully balanced with comforting, familiar flavours & modern twists. It more than lived up to the menu descriptions & beyond. This will absolutely be a must visit spot anytime we are in Montreal.
Thank you Nicki for ending our trip on such a high & bringing so many laughs to our dinner!!
Absolutely decadent! The dippings for the pita bread is to die for! The filet mignon is so incredibly tender & juicy, it's better than some of the steaks I had in steakhouses. The salads are very fresh. It's just such an aesthetic environment & the servers are so nice.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious - every dish was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The ambience was warm & inviting, making it a perfect place to relax & enjoy a great meal.
A special shoutout to our server, Chloe, who made the experience even better. She was friendly, attentive, & very professional throughout our visit. Her service truly elevated our dining experience.
Highly recommend this place! Will definitely be coming back. 🍽✨
An amazing restaurant located in a renovated hotel, hotel Nellygan in old downtown Montreal. Amazing decoration, amazing ambience & the first drink at the bar.
We had some delicious dishes to share all of them with a great presentation & super nyami & then sea bass as a second, which was tasty, fresh & exquisite. We share 2 super tasty desserts that leave us without words. Definitely a place to go back again.
I'll start off by saying I think the food was great, very fresh & the meat was cooked perfectly. However besides the taste of the food, I would say everything else was subpar. The service was extremely slow. It took us almost an hour from the time we were seated to get our drinks. We also had to ask to have our water glasses refilled multiple times. Then it was more than an hour between the two services. We were told that we would only be able to order once since they don't let you order multiple times when it's busy, so when I ordered for the table (group of 8) the waitress ensured it was enough for all of us. However when the food came, we literally each got 1 bite of each dish. They also did not have the size of fish we ordered in stock so they brought us a smaller one which was way too small for our group. Then when it came time to pay the bill we asked her to split it evenly between 6 of us (it was 2 friends birthday so we paid their part of the bill). However when the 6 bills came, they were all different prices. To make it easier I just said put it on one bill & we will split it ourselves. Then when she brings the bill back it is the longest bill I've ever seen. She said she could only fix the bill (to have each item listed only once) by cancelling the order & re-entering it so I said ok please do that so it's easier for us to split after. She then says she doesn't want to & won't do that because it'messes up her stats'… very strange answer… honestly for the price I would not recommend
Mamac is truly one of the best restaurants in Montreal. Everything is thoughtfully planned, & the staff is incredibly friendly & attentive. They offer a wide range of options & great suggestions to help you choose. The steak was perfectly cooked, & you can even watch the team prepare the fish for you - no need to do it yourself! Make sure to try the octopus - it's tender & full of flavor - & their fresh, delicious salads. & whatever you do, don't skip the desserts - they're absolutely not to be missed! A top-tier dining experience from start to finish.

I honestly don't understand why this place is only rated 4.4 as it deserves so much higher! I'll admit, I was hesitant to come after reading some of the reviews, but I'm so glad I did. I brought a client here, & we ended up ordering almost everything on the menu - every single dish was outstanding.
The octopus was perfectly seasoned & juicy, the moussaka was beautifully done, the Greek salad was fresh, & even the beef mignon was incredibly tender. The service, staff, decor, & ambiance were all impeccable.
I'll definitely be coming back with friends & clients alike. If you're reading this, don't let the online rating fool you, go try it for yourself. You won't be disappointed!
The breakfast we had here was delicious! Scrambled eggs were perfect, fresh fruit, bacon & potatoes were great. Melissa was our waitress & was very accommodating .😊
From the moment we sat down for Breakfast, Melissa made us feel relaxed & welcome. She recommended a fresh green juice which did not disappoint & then we both had Montréal bagels with cream cheese & smoked salmon. The food came quickly but we never felt rushed… the perfect start to a wonderful visit in Montreal! Thank you Melissa & Mama C!!
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.
An awesome restaurant. Food is fresh & delicious & service is outstanding. A dish delivered not exactly to order was quickly replaced, along with a dessert! I was very impressed with their concern for customers, ensuring we had a great experience.
