Je recommande fortement ce restaurant. La nourriture était fraîche & savoureuse. Les plats que j'avais choisis ont pour la plupart satisfait ma palette.
J'ai adoré le côté élégant, chaleureux mais à la fois intime du décor. Le personnel était attentif à mes demandes.
Habituellement, les expériences dans les restaurants ne m'impressionnent pas. Or celle-ci m'a beaucoup plu. J'y retournerai certainement.
I whole-heartedly recommend Mama C in Montreal's Vieux Port. The quality of everything that is presented here (the attention to detail in the decor, the atmosphere, the service, the creativity of the platings & recipes, the deliciousness of every dish, the many options available, the quantity of each portion & so much more) is incredibly high. We loved every dish, individual portions & shared ones, & we felt at home in a cozy atmosphere with a very attentive staff. Top notch! It is not inexpensive but it is absolutely worth it. Not just food but a beautiful experience that will stay with you for years to come. Thank you, Mama C! We will certainly return!
Excellent moment hier soir passé avec mes amis dans ce super restaurant! La nourriture était très bonne, & le service très soigné! Je recommande fortement !
Absolutely loved the this place the good so really delicious. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing & beautiful. The staff are super friendly. They have menus in English. Over all they created a memorable night for us. Definitely recommend.
We stayed at Hotel Nelligan for the first time this weekend & had the pleasure of being served by Kim at Mama C's! She recommended dessert & drinks, & we loved it all. She was very down to earth, personable & attentive. I'd say she was the best server I've ever encountered in my years of travel. You are an incredibly lucky establishment to have her. We'd recommend Mama C's any day!
The food is good but I feel the place is overrated & a bit pricey for what it is. I would recommend Milos over this place any day. Portions are quite small, the fresh pitas are nice. The food was good but not great. It's a hotel restaurant after all so perhaps I shouldn't be that strict but for that price point I expected better... Perhaps the hype made me have too high expectations for this place, so I was a bit disappointed 😞.
Première visite a ce resto vendredi passé
Une experience hors du commun
Kim notre serveuse nous a donné un excellent service a su nous offrir un menu dégustation personnalisé
Excellent execution des plats bravo aux cuisiniers
Jy retournerai assurément
Je recommande ce resto a tous n'hésitez pas a y aller vous ne le regretter pas.
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!

The experience was exceptional & credit is due to the wait staff & the chef. They really went above & beyond for a wonderful experience. The food was superb & healthy portions. The dining experience was incredible. All around, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone without hesitating for a moment. I look forward to going back! I am not Greek so I don't remember the names for all the dishes but we ordered 3 mains & 2 appetizers & everyone was superb.
La décoration de Mama C est exceptionnelle & correspond aux standards du Vieux-Port, c'est-à-dire moderne & presque luxueux. La musique est agréable en arrière-fond. La nourriture goûter par mes invités étaient exceptionnelles. Lorsque des clients vous reviennent avec cette mention, c'est excellent pour notre entreprise. Enfin, le professionnalisme des serveuses était à la hauteur & le manager (ou propriétaire) était un passionné avec un effort fait pour nous servir en français. Somme toute, le restaurant est exceptionnel. Je le recommande pour des rencontres professionnelles.
100% recommend, the food is fresh & very flavourful, the service is great , very nice decor too. The Dorad Sashimi was fantastic just like everything else.
We had a fantastic time at Mama C! We sat at the bar, & the service was outstanding. Antony & Francis took excellent care of us, making sure our drinks were always full & that we had everything we needed. The ambience was warm & inviting, & the crowd added to the great energy of the place. Whether you're looking for a relaxed evening or a lively atmosphere, Mama C delivers. Highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar-you won't be disappointed!
