Restaurant has a modern decor & feel. Going in, you feel fancy with all the well dressed old-port patrons.
The musical was suttle & a good mix of alternative modern Greek tracks.
Service was great except for a few hiccups. Our wine selection was not available & suggested bottled were +20 or +25. Felt a bit intentional, but we went with it anyway since it was a special occasion. Suggested wine was good.
We had the salad Spanakopita (amazing!). I personally loved it since it dont like cooked spinach. Tyropita had an incredible cheese sauce which was unfortunately overpowered by the truffle oil. Had it been without the oil, itd be perfect. Brought it to the attention of the waitress who explained it's a'something you like or don't like...'. Anyway, the lamp skewer was incredible.
I'm a big hater of pastitsio but GOD that plate was good. Will definitely try to recreate it.
The dessert baklava was amazing. Was refreshing not to have to fight with layers of Phyllis & nuts for once.
Overall it's an incredible experience for Greek food lovers & non. I would recommend for anyone. Just be careful with the tyropita as the truffle oil did overpower any other flavo
I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant! The service was exceptional, with our waitress truly attentive & in tune with our preferences. Marie-Claire ( our waitress) explained the menu in detail, making it easy to choose our dishes. The atmosphere was inviting, & the decor was exquisite, adding to the overall charm of the place. I highly recommend this spot date night,friends night out or for anyone looking for a delightful meal & outstanding service!

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.
Had a fantastic brunch at Mana C in Old Montreal! The service was outstanding, the manager went above & beyond,everything was exceptional. We had so much fun.They made our special occasion even more memorable. Highly recommend.

I dined at the restaurant on Saturday the 18th & had Maria as a server-she was so sweet & helpful with guiding us through the menu! The food was amazing & I had a 10/10 experience, could not recommend enough!!
What a wonderful find! I've never had such an upscale, modern Greek cuisine. I was impressed with the quality of service, the sommelier helped us select a wine, the cocktails, wine & food courses exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend!
First time in this beautiful restaurant & I loved it! I already reserved for my anniversary at the end of this month. Food is really delicious, I strongly recommend the salads. Great drinks & very nice music. Kudos.
We had an incredible experience at Mama C for a birthday dinner! The food was absolutely amazing-each dish was flavourful & beautifully presented. The attention to detail in the flavors & presentation truly elevated the dining experience. The staff were attentive, friendly, & made us feel so welcome throughout the evening. They even went the extra mile to make the birthday celebration special with a thoughtful dessert & warm wishes. The ambiance was perfect, creating a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. We'll definitely be coming back for more memorable meals. Highly recommend!

Would fly the 2.5 hours to Montreal just to ear here. Everything was perfect. The Pastitsio was a special dish but recommend sharing. Seabass tartare, shrimp saganaki, & the spanakopita salad were also honorable mentions. Alex made all the recommendations & didn't steer us wrong. We love him!
The food was phenomenal & so was the service. Highly recommend that you make a reservation for this fabulous restaurant. The decor & the ambiance are absolutely outstanding!

Our dinning experience here was overall disappointing, we were out with my wife for our wedding anniversary & the waitresses asked me if I was out with my mother. They seated us next to dishwasher area & we would hear was the noise of the silverware banging(major atmosphere turn off). The food was ok, if you enjoy half cold food even though the dish was from the grill. Maybe we weren't lucky, but would really hesitate to recommend
I had an amazing time at this restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the staff were warm & attentive, & the atmosphere was both friendly & elegant. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented - special mention for the dessert, which was a real explosion of flavours! I highly recommend this place for a memorable dining experience.
This is a beautiful Greek restaurant, located in the old port of Montreal. I went there for lunch & had the lunch menu which gave you an appetizer & main course of your choice. I had the greek salad which was amazing with the chicken. The waiters were attentive & made sure we had a great time. I enjoyed my experience & I would definitely recommend!
