Review Summary

Mama C is a modern Greek restaurant that offers a refined take on classics with consistently delicious flavors and a warm, elegant atmosphere. Guests praise attentive, knowledgeable service and a bar and wine list that pair beautifully with the menu. The menu shines with standout dishes like grilled octopus, sea bass, pastitsio, spanakopita salad, and shareable plates that balance comforting and inventive Mediterranean flair. Desserts such as bougatsa and other sweets are frequently highlighted as memorable finales. While prices are often described as premium, the overall experience, with quality ingredients, thoughtful presentation, and a lively yet relaxed vibe, makes it a destination for celebrations and special dinners. The space, decor, and ambience in the Old Port contribute to a sense of occasion, while still feeling welcoming for frequent visits.

Nous avons eu le plaisir d'être servi par Basile pour l'anniversaire de ma maman & l'expérience était fantastique. Il a pris le temps de nous faire des recommandations & a répondu avec plaisir à nos questions. Il connaît très bien le menu & la carte des vins. Le restaurant est très beau & la nourriture bonne & fraîche. Nous allons revenir c'est certain. Merci Basile!

Modern Greek restaurant with a refined take on classic dishes. The food was consistently good, with a contemporary twist rather than strictly traditional preparations. Service was fast & friendly. The wine list is thoughtfully curated & pairs well with the menu. While it's somewhat on the expensive side, it's mostly justified. Standout dishes for me were the pastitsio & the roasted aubergine. Overall, a solid choice for Greek food.

Le restaurant était presque vide à notre arrivée. On nous propose une table en plein milieu de la salle pas très confortable & on demande à voir un booth. On nous répond que les booth sont réservés & qu'il faut le faire à l'avance mais ce n'est mentionné nulle part sur le site & cela ne nous a pas été dit au moment où on a « téléphoné » pour la réservation. Comment le savoir si c'est notre première fois? Donc déjà la on part d'un mauvais pied. Cependant ils ont pu nous trouver un compromis.

La nourriture était bonne. Cependant le service était extrêmement lent. 30 minutes entre chaque plat. On a fini par se lasser & nous qui voulions des desserts avons fini par ne plus en commander. De plus le serveur était assez snob. On dirait qu'il nous servait juste parce qu'il n'avait pas le choix. Il nous avait profilé & c'était fait un avis (négatif) sur nous donc c'est limité au minimum syndical. Si il a avait pu refuser de nous servir, franchement je pense qu'il l'aurait fait. Le couple de bobo à la table à côté par contre a eu droit au grand jeu. On a fini le repas & on attendu plus de 20 minutes les factures alors qu'on le voyait d'où on était assis & qu'il ne semblait pas particulièrement occupé. Il s'en foutait juste de nous. C'était assez méprisant. Oui, la nourriture était bonne, mais pas assez pour compenser pour le service dédaigneux & assez discriminatoire que nous avons reçu.

Gorgeous spot for a birthday or work dinner. The food was pretty good. I ordered the kebab plate & I'm not sure if it was supposed to be cold but it was. The chicken is way better so def order that instead. Drinks were great can't complain. Service at reception & at the table was great too. Would come again but it is on the pricier side.

We stumbled across Mama C by accident & oh my goodness it was some of the best food I've ever had. My boyfriend & I go to Greece a lot & he being Greek is very particular about authentic Greek food. The food blew our mind. We got the Greek salad, full sea bass with air of beets. My boyfriend never eats vegetables & he raved about the roasted beets. They were amazing, & the fish was spectacular. He even went back to the chef to personally compliment him on the beets!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Also the staff is wonderful & very kind. Can't wait to go back once I'm in Montreal again.

Mama C is an absolute gem. The food is consistently delicious, comforting, & thoughtfully prepared, with flavours that feel both elevated & soulful. Every dish is made with care, & you can truly taste the quality of the ingredients. I keep going back for the grilled octopus & grilled fish. They are able to accommodate all my dietary needs without even raising an eyebrow.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, & unpretentious-the kind of place you want to return to again & again. The service is friendly, attentive, & genuine, making the entire experience feel effortless & welcoming.

Mama C strikes that rare balance between neighbourhood favourite & destination-worthy restaurant. A must-visit in Montréal, whether for a casual meal or a special moment shared around great food.

The restaurant has a really nice interior design, & I loved the ambience. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the matcha latte-it mostly tasted like milk & not much like matcha. I should've ordered a regular latte instead.

Very excited to try this restaurant as we were told that the food was amazing & everyone was raving about it.

Ambiance 9/10
Decor was beautiful, chill with a tint of luxury. Did love the waiter's uniform. Changed from the regular black we see in all other restaurants.

Food 10/10
The food was DELICIOUS. Honestly everything we ordered tasted so good & was so fresh. The grilled octopus HIT the spot, the free range chicken was juicy & so tasty & the lamb… listen, you just gotta go & try it for yoursel!! ⭐?⭐?⭐?

SERVICE 9'5/10
I only took out 0.5 because it seems that it was a busy night & our server was responsible for multiple tables which sometimes caused longer wait times for us to get his attention but that's not something YLIAN could control. He was wonderful from beginning to end, really chill vibe & demeanor & making sure he wasn't hovering over us. We did get a chance to have a nice conversation with him at the end of the night & he is a lovely young man! Wishing him the best in his future plans.

VALET 5/10
We found a parking when we arrived on the next street but used the valet service to make sure the car would be moved to the front of the restaurant whenever possible. It wasn't so we essentially paid to have our car parked where we left it the whole night & brought to us at the end of the night - we could have walked. 😅

All in all, I would go back cause I want to try everything on the menu!

Try it next time you are visiting Montreal!
