Excellent brunch, autant pour la nourriture que pour l'ambiance ! La décoration est magnifique, soignée & chaleureuse, & les assiettes sont aussi belles que bonnes, un vrai plaisir pour les yeux.

Un immense coup de coeur pour Xavier, notre serveur, qui a vraiment élevé l'expérience. Le mimosa préparé directement à la table ajoute une touche chic & raffinée que j'ai adorée. J'étais en brunch avec ma fille & tout était simple, doux & agréable.?Mention spéciale pour sa recommandation du bagel au saumon fumé : délicieux, je n'ai pas été déçu. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter.

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!

Que dire, que dire! L'endroit est, ma fois, avec son propre cachet distingué mais accueillant & chaleureux. Tout es propre & agréable avec, je crois, un petit coin pour tous les goûts.

Le personnel, surtout la charmante Chloé qui nous a servi, est sympathique, à l'écoute &, disons-le, aussi distingué & chaleureux que le lieu en soi!

& la nourriture? De bonnes portions, des saveurs recherchées & intéressantes, une présentation impeccable, le tout emmené assez rapidement tout de même.

Je recommande fortement. C'est le genre d'endroit où, s'il était plus près de chez moi, je pourrais passer de longues heures à juste profiter de la vibe, right?

Nous avons eu de très bonnes suggestions pour la nourriture que nous avons partagé & pour le vin. Le sommelier a écouté nos préférences & nous a recommandé un vin dans nos cordes. Vous pouvez même lui demander l'histoire du vin!

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!

Nous avons eu le plaisir d'être servi par Basile pour l'anniversaire de ma maman & l'expérience était fantastique. Il a pris le temps de nous faire des recommandations & a répondu avec plaisir à nos questions. Il connaît très bien le menu & la carte des vins. Le restaurant est très beau & la nourriture bonne & fraîche. Nous allons revenir c'est certain. Merci Basile!

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.

Le service était impeccable! Un grand merci à Camel & sa formidable équipe. Le bagel saumon fumé est délicieux, tout comme le granola & le smoothie Berry Booster. Le décor est splendide, on se croirait dans un café nordique de Copenhague. On recommande chaleureusement!

Amazing experience at Mama C Restaurant!
The space is beautiful & very welcoming, & the food & coffee were really good. We had a great time there with my parents who were visiting from Mexico.

Basil, our server, was very friendly & attentive. He took the time to explain the dishes in spanish to my family-especially my parents, who don't speak any English-& his recommendations were excellent. That made the whole experience feel relaxed & enjoyable.

My brother & I own a Mexican café in downtown Toronto, so we truly appreciate good food & genuine hospitality. I'd definitely recommend this place if you're visiting the area.

Found the perfect cozy escape at Mama C!

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!'
