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!
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

Huge thanks to Raja for the amazing service at Mama C. Warm welcome, great attention to detail, & such a positive energy from start to finish.he truly made our experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend, both for the service & the vibe. Thanks again Raja 🙌
10/10 service from Xavier. He was attentive, professional, & made sure we were well taken care of throughout the entire evening. Even as the restaurant was closing & we were the last table, he still gave us his full attention & made us feel welcomed. Excellent service & a great host. Highly recommend!
My friends & I loved the food so much! They had a sommelier that recommended us the best wine to pair with our food. Our server Josh was extremely attentive & knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
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.
The main dining room is chic & sophisticated, but we opted for the cafe side for more of a warm lounge ambiance. Huge thanks to our server for being so flexible & moving our table last minute. The aesthetic is 10/10. We ordered the salmon bowl & shared some fries-both were fantastic. Highly recommend for a chilly day lunch!'
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. 🍽✨

Absolutely fantastic in terms of both the food & the service! I was walking around the neighbourhood & randomly decided to go for a quick brunch. I had the pancake, paprika fries & turkey sausages, all were amazing, especially the pancake & the fries. As someone who rarely likes pancakes, I genuinely enjoyed this one, it's the softest, most fluffy pancake I've ever had in a long time, with the custard in between & phyllo on top, it's extraordinary, I'd literally come back just for that. The fries are properly seasoned with nice flavours. & the entire time, the girl who served me was incredibly nice & attentive, which really elevated the whole experience. I didn't expect much before I came in, but suffice to say I'll definitely come back & try dinner next time. Overall highly recommend!
Loved the classy, high-end decor & lighting, sets the tone for an elevated dining experience. The ambiance is warm & inviting, with amazing vibes that make it perfect for a night out.
The service is top-notch-attentive, friendly, & professional!
What really sets Mama C apart, is its unique twist on traditional Greek cuisine. The dishes retain the comforting flavors of classic Greek food but with a refined, gourmet touch that makes it special.
Mama C is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Exceptional Dining Experience! We loved our recent visit to Mam C! The service was top-notch - friendly, attentive, & welcoming. Our server Radislav was knowledgeable & ensured we felt well taken care of. The food was definitely on the expensive side but also expertly prepared & delicious. We can't wait to return! Highly recommended!
Amazing place with authentic Mediterranean food & excellent service. Food: all the meals were really delicious, with the star being the spanakopita salad, extraordinary. The main dish, lamb, was tender, seared to perfection, & served with a jus & thyme oil. The dessert, fantastic. All meals divided by 4 people, lots of food, great value. Left pretty full! Service: our server, Josh, fantastic & knowledgeable, attentive, & quick. Sommelier: great recommendations all through the night, definitely go with Geek wines. Atmosphere: really brings us back to Santorini. The ambiance, the music, the seating. Extremely well thought out layout. The bars are snazzy too. Overall: highly recommended, delicious fresh food & authentic options, excellent service & ambience. Will go back certainly to try the moussaka.
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.
