Our dinning experience here was overall disappointing, we were out with my wife for our wedding anniversary & the waitresses asked me if I was out with my mother. They seated us next to dishwasher area & we would hear was the noise of the silverware banging(major atmosphere turn off). The food was ok, if you enjoy half cold food even though the dish was from the grill. Maybe we weren't lucky, but would really hesitate to recommend
Shout-out à toute l'équipe, un service impeccable surtout de la part d'Hugo & Virgilio. Ambiance plus que parfaite & que dire de la nourriture! Un pur délice! Un vrai de vrai succès, à très bientôt.

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 food was excellent. Our only complaint is that the price for the portions left something to be desired. That being said, the food was delicious & we left very happy with the service.
Servit au bar par Félix, qui nous a conseillé & réalise des cocktails excellents & une conversation qui nous as régaler notre soirée ! Un grand merci à lui, si vous passez par cette endroit (décoration très jolie) demandez Félix pour une soirée réussi !
I had an amazing time at this restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the staff were warm & attentive, & the atmosphere was both friendly & elegant. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented - special mention for the dessert, which was a real explosion of flavours! I highly recommend this place for a memorable dining experience.
Nous avons passé une soirée incroyable dans une ambiance élégante & chaleureuse. Que dire du repas qui nous a été servi, c'était un régal à tout point de vue. Merci à Georges, Billy & ainsi qu'à toutes leurs équipes. Didie
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.

In a city that has Milos, no one should ever go to mama c. The food is average but they charge top price for it. Given the decor & price it was disappointing
My friend & I decided to try out Mama C tonight, we heard good things. It went above & beyond what we heard, the food was great, the service was better. Hospitality & service from Anthony & Hugo was amazing, made us feel right at home.
Mama C was an absolute pleasure. From food to service, this place has it all. Big thanks to Anthony for the wonderful service & to Hugo for the great hospitality. Looking forward to my next visit.
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!

Mama C is a hidden gem that perfectly marries style & substance. The décor is chic, with elegant touches that create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. Every detail, from the lighting to the furnishings, is beautifully curated, making it a feast for the eyes before you even take a bite. As for the food, it's nothing short of exquisite. Each dish is prepared with finesse, offering flavors that are both rich & refined. From the starters to the desserts, every plate was a delightful experience, clearly crafted with care & creativity. Mama C is the kind of place where both the setting & the cuisine elevate your dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable & delicious meal in a beautifully designed space.
DISCLAIMER - My 2 hobbies are eating & travelling. I have worked for incredibly talented Chefs both in the United States & Canada & consider myself a good judge of food. I love Michelin dining (especially in Europe), but i am just as happy eating Pho in the Chợ Bến Thành in Hồ Chí Minh. I have stayed at 5 star hotels & slept in 18 person dorms. I write this, so you know who this review is coming from :) Mama C blew us away. We came late for cocktails & desserts & In a city known for its culinary prowess, it stood out as a true champion. If you're looking for an unforgettable cocktail (the simple gin & tonic one) & dessert (the mille feuille baklava ) make a beeline for Mama C. Even though both items are simple, they just delivered on a new level, I would have to say it was among the best desserts i've ever had. Our waitress Nadine was also awesome, attentive, & nice. Only drawback. Everything took awhile to come, but it was all worth the wait.
Je suis sortie hier soir avec des amies au Mama C & je suis impressionnée par la qualité du service qu'on a reçu tout au long de notre soirée. On a eu l'opportunité d'être servi par Olivier ainsi que par Vatche & le service était impeccable. Non seulement l'accueil des Hôtesses est très chaleureuse, les serveurs & MD à l'écoute de nos besoins, mais la nourriture est délicieuse également. L'ambiance du restaurant est parfait pour une sortie chic entre amie. Merci encore une fois à Olivier pour son magnifique service !
5 stars all around! I went here for dinner & drinks with a group of friends & everything was amazing. The hostess was so fun & friendly & seated us right away. We ordered some drinks off of the wine & cocktail menu & all were very happy with them - I personally ordered the Rodi Mule & loved it. It was a good pomegranate twist on the classic Moscow mule. Our server Josh was very friendly too & gave us some great recommendations. We ended up ordering several dishes to share & everything was delicious but our favorites were the moussaka & the shrimp saganaki. To finish we tried the bougatsa dessert & it was so good, & plenty big to split between the five of us. On top of the great food & service the interior of the restaurant itself was beautiful. We arrived shortly after they opened for dinner but by the time we left it was crowded so it seems like a popular spot. Overall we were super impressed by the service, food, & drinks & would absolutely come back!
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!!
