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.
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!'

Dined here for a family night out & the food, service & ambience was impeccable. Basil was our waiter & he was kind & attentive. The rest of the staff was also great. But most importantly the food was absolutely delicious!!!! Beautiful place & location 100% recommend
Melisa est très professionnelle & sympathique , accueil extraordinaire . Direction aussi sympathique que notre hôtesse . Avons renouvel'e notre visite dans cet établissement . Je recommande fortement
A very elegant & beautiful restaurant. The ambience is very romantic & no pictures do it justice. The food itself is unforgettable, I felt like Remy from Ratatouille when he was tasting the cheese & strawberry. Every bite was a bliss to my taste buds. Our waiter was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the menu & gave us the perfect recommendations. Our personal favourite was the octopus appetizer. The waiters' service was very professional & attentive & engaging. Our glasses were never empty & our finished plates never lingered on our table.
My only regret is the coat service. Unfortunately, my partner's coat was dragged on the floor twice, & it was pretty upsetting to see. I don't believe it was done on purpose, but it was unexpected for such a high end restaurant. Otherwise, the young ladies at the reception were more than delightful & welcoming. They also answer the phone very quickly & are very helpful with any questions or requests.
The bathrooms are clean & gender neutral, so don't feel lost when you can't find the gendered bathroom signs. The entrance to the restaurant is through the Mama C café, there's a nice waiting area decorated by cozy couches & warm dimmed lights.
Overall, the experience was unforgettable & we have already recommended the restaurant to everyone we know. I can't wait to return. The presentation & flavors were exceptional - culinary artistry at its finest. My sincere compliments to the chef.
Hier je suis allée prendre un matcha au Mama C & c'était vraiment délicieux! L'ambiance était cosy…
le serveur luca est super accueillant & a une très belle énergie.
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. 🍽✨
amazing food. everything is full of flavor & the service is impeccable. thank you Halima (or Alima!) for the great service. definitely recommend for any type of occasion. no regrets.
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

Un peu déçu de l'expérience du midi. J'avais adoré la carte & l'ambiance en soirée. Mais rien à voir le midi. Les plats sont +- classiques, les quantités ne sont pas en rendez-vous & les prix sont très élevés. & nous avons patienté plus de 30 minutes pour que nos plats arrivent. Nous sommes ressorti avec la faim & avons du compléter avec un sandwich ailleurs.
Donc je recommande pour le soir mais pas pour le midi.
La nourriture était délicieuse, nous avons tout aimé. Le plateau de fruits de mer était frais, la pieuvre & le loup de mer absolument divins. Nous avons opté pour le menu découverte, les portions sont très copieuses, voire trop copieuses, nous nous sentions mal d'en'gaspiller' parce qu'il y en avait juste trop. Nous avons même pris le dessert pour emporter. Les bons mangeurs seront comblés. Il pourrait être pertinent de réduire les portions & prix du menu découverte, ce qui est rare. Ailleurs, les portions sont souvent très petites.
Côté service, notre serveur était sympathique & avenant au début, mais le service a ralenti & moins présent à mi-repas, ce qui a un peu teinté notre expérience. 3h30 pour un repas 4 services, il y avait des longueurs entre les plats. Au final, un autre serveur nous a fait payé après avoir attendu 15 minutes pour payer après avoir reçu l'addition.
Nous y retournerons & recommandons sans hésiter, mais nous choisirons nos plats pour avoir moins de nourriture, & espérons que le service sera plus attentionné & régulier. Très bonne adresse!

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!!
Mes amies & moi y sommes allées pour célébrer un anniversaire & nous avons passé un moment très agréable. Le serveur était très agréable, la nourriture exquise, & l'ambiance chaleureuse. Je recommande la moussaka!
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.
