Much recommended greek restaurant in Vieux-Port. Ideal for a Date.
I would just lower the music, & make it a little more suitable for the Greek setting, instead of Turkish songs.

sooo good. everything we tried was actually delicious, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. just keep in mind the portions are on the smaller side, so it's better to order a few things & share if you're a big group

We had such a wonderful experience at Mama C.
Everything was absolutely perfect - from the beautifully designed interior to the warm, inviting ambience. The food was exceptional, with every dish thoughtfully prepared & full of flavor.

It was lunch time, I can imagine experience at brunch or dinner..

A special mention to the Chloe, who was incredibly attentive. We were in hurry so Chloe made me extra complimentary tea to take away. These small details make service feel exceptional .

I repeat: Montréal has many many restaurants but only few you can really call places with excellent service, food & ambiance.

We definitely will come back

Excellent brunch, autant pour la nourriture que pour l'ambiance ! La décoration est magnifique, soignée & chaleureuse, & les assiettes sont aussi belles que bonnes, un vrai plaisir pour les yeux.

Un immense coup de coeur pour Xavier, notre serveur, qui a vraiment élevé l'expérience. Le mimosa préparé directement à la table ajoute une touche chic & raffinée que j'ai adorée. J'étais en brunch avec ma fille & tout était simple, doux & agréable.?Mention spéciale pour sa recommandation du bagel au saumon fumé : délicieux, je n'ai pas été déçu. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter.

Nous avons passé une belle soirée dans votre établissement & le service était généralement très bien. Cependant, un commentaire dites à la fin au moment de payer la facture nous a un peu mises mal à l'aise. Il était indiqué que j'étais « gâtée par mon amie », alors qu'il s'agit en réalité de ma femme.

En 2026, il est préférable d'éviter de faire des suppositions sur la relation des clients. Un message plus neutre aurait été apprécié. Nous partageons ce commentaire simplement pour sensibiliser votre équipe afin que tous les clients se sentent pleinement respectés & inclus.

Merci de votre attention.

Je suis partie deux semaines en vacances à Montréal & j'ai eu un vrai coup de coeur pour le Vieux-Port. Comme la cuisine grecque est ma préférée, j'ai choisi de tester Mama C, & je ne regrette absolument pas !
Nous avons pris plein de plats à partager & tout était délicieux. Mais ce qui a vraiment rendu l'expérience encore plus spéciale, c'est le service.
Un grand merci à la serveuse Clara qui nous a conseillé pour tous nos plats & qui a été aux petits soins avec nous pendant toute la soirée. Grâce à elle, ce dîner a été encore plus mémorable.
Encore merci Clara pour votre gentillesse & votre professionnalisme !

I recently visited Mama C Restaurant with my sister & brother-in-law.The restaurant itself is beautiful & has such a nice atmosphere. The food wasreally great & everything we had was delicious.

Our waitress Clara was amazing - super friendly, attentive, & she really made us feel at home from the moment we sat down. She checked in at the right times, had a great attitude, & made the whole experience even better.

The food & the place were great, but Clara's service really stood out.

We'll definitely be back
