Beautiful restaurant. We loved some plates (shrimp, moussaka, salads). But some need to be improved (too much heavy cream on the truffle pasta, the chicken is average with no veggies to the side, chocolate tart was too dry). I believe for the pricing they could definitely ask their chef to work better & fix these issues. Great ambiance.
The restaurant decor is stunning. Very elegant & classy.
The food was delicious. We were a bug party, therefore had to take the group menu. It's a little pricy but were had 4 services & the amount of food were more than enough. My favorite dishes were the Seabass fish & the shrimp orzo. The salads & the cervice were great. However, some of the dishes were a little salty.
The service was amazing. The waiters even withdrawn the fishbones!
For a special occasion, it is a nice restaurant to try it out.

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
Loved everything about Mama C! The vibe, the decor, the music-just perfect. The food was 🔥! We had the Spanish salad, moussaka, & the freshest pita straight from the oven,& that mille-feuille with Greek coffee is a must 😋😋Definitely coming back 💙🤍
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.
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.

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!
Based off of recommendations online, we were excited to give Mama C a try. First off, the general vibe & decor was stunning. We were so excited to be seated, but the hostess seemed annoyed & generally unpleasant. Our server was nice but seemed like he was in a rush & didn't take the time to explain anything on the menu or any specials. When we asked about the difference between two types of fish (catch of the day, which were not on the menu) all he could say was "one is bigger". We noticed that the pricing for the food was really high, but decided to give it a chance. Cheapest pasta is $42 & salads are $30+. That's fine but it took a while for us to simply order & receive our drinks & food. Our conversation kept getting interrupted by hostesses that were yelling, running around & joking with the servers (who seemed visibly annoyed). Then we noticed the hostesses sat down at the bar to eat while periodically getting up to greet guests. While they were eating, we kept waiting. The food was good but it was not worth the price, especially for abysmal service. The side of lemon potatoes was so sour it ended up being inedible. The main dishes are very plain & don't come with any sides. We ordered a shareable steak for $138 & it was good but very plain - nothing special. This place is a hard pass, especially when there are dozens of incredible restaurants in Montréal.
Amazing! The decor, the service, the food. All amazing. We started with cocktails & wine, followed by more wine. Each drink was delicious. We had the seafood tower. Oysters, shrimp, crab, lobster... plus the bass tartare, another fish I'm forgetting the name of... each item was explained to us in detail along with where they come from (shrimp from Argentina for example). Then onto the second serving, we had pasta, kebab, more fish, tomato salad... everything was so incredibly full of flavor. Major shout out to our server, Kim. She was an absolute delight & so full of knowledge over the cuisine being presented. She even de boned the fish table side with precision. I will most certainly be back. I wish I took food pics, I was too distracted by how delicious everything was
Super restaurant ! L'accueil & l'ambiance déjà en partant est 10/10 . Nous avons été super bien servis ! La nourriture : excellent , La salade de spanakopita was insane !! The mix of crispy phyllo was perfect . Les plats étaient délicieux & parfaitement bien exécutés . Chaque bouchée était un vrai plaisir pour les papilles & le service était impeccable . Je recommence ce restaurant à tous les amateurs de bonne cuisine , Will definitely come back for part 2 !

The atmosphere is amazing & the restaurant is beautiful!! We got multiple things for the middle & I can honestly say that the only 2 that are worth ordering is the spinach salad & the fries, other than that the rest was not wow... The octopus didn't really have taste, the meatballs were not good at all, the kebab was ok The drinks are very good tho! The hostess at the entrance was amazing! She gives you a very good feeling as soon as you walk in! We could have had a better waitress because she seemed like she was annoyed & we were wasting her time
This brand new restaurant has a beautiful design, gorgeous work from the designer BUT the service is horrible. For example we had to wait for over 45 minutes to start ordering. When I was asking for our waiter the answer was: we are very busy currently. Then the prices are super high for a Greek restaurant. It costed us 170$ for two people sharing 2 entrees (Greek salad & grilled calamari) & one chicken dish. Beautiful design but not an experience I was expecting from a Greek restaurant at all.
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!
We were visiting Montreal for the day & night & decided that we wanted Greek food. 5 stars on line, the restaurant held up to the *****. It had only been open for five days. The beef kebab, linguine clams, side salad (yum) were all delicious!.atmosphere & music were awesome.
