Mama C is a tribute to the land of olive groves, where flavors bask in the Mediterranean sun and dance under the starlit sky. Inspired by the freshness of the islands & the warmth of the mainland, our dishes are a testament to quality, from seafood & meat to local and fresh ingredients, they evoke a modern and contemporary twist on Greek tradition. Blending citrus and herbal notes with fresh produce from land & sea, Mama C presents both classic and modern dishes, each designed to share & warm your heart.
Across many visits, Mama C earns praise for a warm, elegant atmosphere, creative Greek-inspired dishes that feel refined yet comforting, and consistently attentive service. Dishes such as octopus, sea bass, pastitsio, vibrant salads, and well balanced desserts showcase thoughtful presentation and bold flavors, while the wine and cocktails add further finesse. The vibe works beautifully for date nights, celebrations, or a casual dinner with friends, with a stylish interior and welcoming staff contributing to a memorable experience. Some comments note smaller portions or higher prices, and a few evenings can be busier or quieter, but the overall impression is one of quality, hospitality, and a place many guests are eager to return to.
While visiting Montreal we noticed this restaurant while walking & looking for a dinner spot. We were greeted warmly & seated without a reservation.
We had cocktails with Lot 40 Canadian Whiskey, a lamb kabob appetizer, halibut, & pasta main dishes.
All the staff were knowledgeable, helpful, & efficient. The service was well timed & the atmosphere was quiet, sophisticated, yet fun. We finished the night with a bougatsa dessert (pictured below), not to be missed.
New! More ways to react to reviews.
Outrageously good food & service at this upscale Greek establishment. Our server Ilian was so good - knowledgeable & friendly with a good sense of humor too. Really from the first moment stepping in, we had excellent service from the hostess, bartender & the wait staff. Definitely not cheap but well worth it!
We enjoyed the most amazing breakfast of smoked salmon on bagels & French toast. Our server, Melissa, was warm, attentive & helpful. It was the best dining experience we've had in Old Montreal. Well done!!!
Had a customer lunch here, service & atmosphere is super, enjoyed the food as well , pistachio ice cream was fantastic.
awesome place for professional dining
Grosse déception.
Malgré la beauté du lieu & son excellent emplacement, l'expérience n'était pas à la hauteur.
Aucun pancake disponible à 13h, ni croissant aux amandes… Le plat d'oeufs brouillés était malheureusement très décevant (acide & fait de concerté de tomate).
& pour couronner le tout, l'accueil de l'hôtesse s'est avéré peu agréable, voire impoli.
Heureusement, le service à l'intérieur a relevé le niveau : les serveurs étaient, quant à eux, très aimables & attentionnés.
This was one of the best restaurants we have been to. All of our group has great meals & service ! Dessert , courses all great!!
Minor, minor issue. Coffee not great
Came back again next evening.
I am not a fan of restaurants but I did like my experience at Mama C especially because of the service. I had a very polite valet named mastan parking my porsche. The food was good but the service was unbelievable. Our good experience started from my valet experience.
Will come back soon!!

La nourriture était délicieuse, nous avons tout aimé. Le plateau de fruits de mer était frais, la pieuvre & le loup de mer absolument divins. Nous avons opté pour le menu découverte, les portions sont très copieuses, voire trop copieuses, nous nous sentions mal d'en'gaspiller' parce qu'il y en avait juste trop. Nous avons même pris le dessert pour emporter. Les bons mangeurs seront comblés. Il pourrait être pertinent de réduire les portions & prix du menu découverte, ce qui est rare. Ailleurs, les portions sont souvent très petites.
Côté service, notre serveur était sympathique & avenant au début, mais le service a ralenti & moins présent à mi-repas, ce qui a un peu teinté notre expérience. 3h30 pour un repas 4 services, il y avait des longueurs entre les plats. Au final, un autre serveur nous a fait payé après avoir attendu 15 minutes pour payer après avoir reçu l'addition.
Nous y retournerons & recommandons sans hésiter, mais nous choisirons nos plats pour avoir moins de nourriture, & espérons que le service sera plus attentionné & régulier. Très bonne adresse!
We had breakfast at Mama C restaurant while staying at The Nelligan Hotel. Our server, Melissa, was very efficient, friendly & took very good care of us.
Love this restaurant. Been a few times now & truly enjoy it. Food is amazing. All the plates were very savoury. Service is great & ambiance is perfect. Not too noisy either. Best greek restaurant in the city. Prices are not exaggerated for location.
