We spotted this restaurant while walking around & decided to give it a try for dinner, & we were truly blown away by the entire experience! To start, the atmosphere is stunning. Calming, cool & fun all at once. When we arrived we were greeted by the most welcoming & fun hostess, who not only let us take our pick of the tables but also took group photos for us & checked on us multiple times throughout the meal to make sure we were enjoying. Josh, our server was outstanding too! He made expert recommendations, & made our evening one for the books. The food itself was phenomenal - would highly recommend sharing lots of plates around your table so you get to taste it all!! We're already planning a trip back to Montreal solely so we can eat here again! Thanks to the whole team at Mama C's for making our girls night so special!!
All the touted restaurants were reserved for the evening so we walked to the western end of Rue de St Paul & we saw Mama C (which was not marked on our map of restaurants). It too was booked but we were offered seats at the bar which is usually our favorite being'ring side' to all the action & the personalized service which Antonni the bar tender with his wizardry mixing drink orders & Alima our server richly provided. Her recommendations suited our palates to the T including the delicious wine from Macedonia! to pair with my Mousaka while my wife ordered the grilled octopus. Both were delicious flavorful. Alima suggested the pita with a delicious dip of creamy dip flavored with a drizzle of juice from fish eggs as an appetizer - an unexpected treat. Servers like Alima with her easy efficient friendly manner & ready humor set the tone for a fine evening. Then the artfully designed ambience with the soft music all made our evening at Mama C a special time. Highly recommended.

i went for the first time to Mama C & the restaurant is beautiful. we had amazing service from Ian & Amelie, with great food selection. definitely a place i would recommend :)
Recently, my friends & I had the pleasure of dining at a new Greek restaurant nestled in the heart of Old Montreal, right under a famous hotel. From the moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped by the restaurant's stunning decor & vibrant atmosphere. The combination of traditional Greek elements & modern design created an inviting space that truly set the stage for an enjoyable evening. The service was top-notch throughout our visit. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, & eager to share recommendations, which added a personal touch to our dining experience. It's always nice when the staff genuinely care about making your meal memorable. As for the menu, while there were several enticing options to choose from, we did find ourselves wishing for a broader selection typical of a Greek restaurant. Unfortunately, some of the dishes we had our hearts set on were unavailable that night, which was a slight disappointment. Nonetheless, the food we did order was well-prepared & flavorful, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Greece. While we can't wait to return & explore more of the menu, we did find the prices to be on the high side, which might make frequent visits a little challenging. However, the combination of the enchanting atmosphere, attentive service, & delicious food makes it a worthwhile experience for special occasions or a delightful night out in Old Montreal. Overall, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a visit. With its charming ambiance & great service, it has all the makings of a promising new spot in the city!
After a very busy & stressful night, the staff at the hotel Nelligan & Mama C took such good care of us. Their attention to detail & care for clients are unmatched. The food is excellent & the staff is so kind. The chocolate croissant & lattes are my personal favorite, but you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Could not recommend them enough! ❤️
This restaurant is a gem! The decor is stunning, & it creates such a welcoming & cozy atmosphere. The food was incredible. The highlight of the evening, though, was the service. Joseph was fantastic, going above & beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. Definitely recommend! :)
I definitely recommend the new Mama C restaurant! Beautiful setting, elegant & refined. Lounge section is great for pre or post dinner cocktails. Food was delicious & nice change from the usual Greek restaurant menu. Vasili was great with our group & catered to all our requests. Music was not too loud & we could therefore have conversations without having to raise our voices.

Vraiment EXCELLENT. Un gros faible pour le carpaccio de dorade, c'est wow! Suggestion, prendre plusieurs entrées & plats que vous allez partager. Je recommande fortement ce resto.
