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!

The atmosphere is beautiful, but unfortunately the service completely ruined the experience for me.
From the beginning, the server was unusually pushy & made multiple unnecessary comments throughout the evening that made me genuinely uncomfortable. I had clearly explained that I was on a calorie deficit & asked what lighter options he would recommend. After recommending a few dishes himself, he still continued insisting that what we ordered was'only appetizers' & repeatedly pushed for more food, even after it was obvious we were satisfied with what we had ordered.
What made the experience worse was the attitude behind the comments. There was a very condescending & mocking tone throughout the interaction, especially regarding my food & drink choices. Instead of simply taking the order & letting guests enjoy their evening, there were repeated remarks & expressions that felt judgmental & intrusive.
A server should never make guests feel embarrassed or self-conscious about what they choose to eat or not eat. Whether a table orders a full dinner or just a few dishes & drinks should not affect the quality of the service or the way guests are treated.
The food itself was fine, although the grilled calamari arrived cold. But overall, the lack of tact & professionalism from the service left a really unpleasant impression.
Mention toute spéciale à Max, un barman remarquable. Ses recommandations étaient parfaitement ciblées, démontrant une excellente compréhension des saveurs & des préférences. Son service, à la fois professionnel & chaleureux, a clairement rehaussé l'expérience.
Un grand merci également à Shady dont l'aide précieuse dans la recherche de nouvelles saveurs a fait toute la différence. Sa capacité à orienter & à faire découvrir des combinaisons originales témoigne d'une vraie passion pour son métier.
Une adresse à découvrir pour ceux qui apprécient autant la qualité des cocktails que le service attentionné.
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
The food, decor, & especially the service is excellent. Our waiter, Raj, took great care of us & made the visit very memorable. The expert recommendations & even the pace of the service was exceptional. I highly recommend Mama C & we will definitely be back soon!

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 🙌
Ma conjointe & moi avons passé une excellente soirée. Les assiettes étaient délicieuses & le service de Virgilio a été impeccable du début à la fin. Nous recommandons vivement ce restaurant !
Much recommended greek restaurant in Vieux-Port. Ideal for a Date.
I would just lower the music, & make it a little more suitable for the Greek setting, instead of Turkish songs.
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.

Super soirée passée au Mama C, le cadre est magnifique, l'ambiance est très agréable, le service est aux petits soins, merci à Nicky !
De plus, la nourriture est excellente, je recommande vivement cet endroit !
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?
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!
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!
