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.
Mama C offers a highly regarded dining experience in Old Montreal, frequently praised for its beautiful, sophisticated decor and inviting atmosphere that transitions seamlessly from a cozy cafe vibe to an elegant dinner setting. Guests consistently highlight the fresh, flavorful Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, with particular acclaim for the octopus, whole fish, lamb dishes, and creative pasta options. While the vast majority of visitors enjoy impeccable and warm service from the attentive staff, the establishment remains a popular destination that many recommend for special occasions, business gatherings, or casual visits, noting that the combination of high-quality ingredients and a polished environment creates a memorable visit.
We enjoyed our lamb dishes, roasted beets & more but despite a minor setback. I guess we were expecting Greek authenticity when ordering Paprika Fries with'Mizithra' cheese. Our friend having just come back from Greece called it. When we asked them they brought some jarred Parmesan??
Mamac is truly one of the best restaurants in Montreal. Everything is thoughtfully planned, & the staff is incredibly friendly & attentive. They offer a wide range of options & great suggestions to help you choose. The steak was perfectly cooked, & you can even watch the team prepare the fish for you - no need to do it yourself! Make sure to try the octopus - it's tender & full of flavor - & their fresh, delicious salads. & whatever you do, don't skip the desserts - they're absolutely not to be missed! A top-tier dining experience from start to finish.

First off, I want to say 5 stars aren't enough for the incredible hospitality & service Nikita provided for us tonight. From the very beginning, we were met with warmth, personality & professionalism. The wine was exquisite, the food was even better, & the ambience was undefeated. We are not from Montreal, but we will be visiting again specifically to dine at Mama C under Nikita's exquisite care. Merci beaucout from Vancouver.
Je ne recomand pas le octopus, trop cher ,trop petit, & froid aussi sur un pad de humus
Le calamar grille ce bon mais il manque de saveur
La Marguerite cocktail je ne le recomand pas
Le rest ce Bon
Très beau restaurant, ambiance feurrée & élégante, excellent service! Parfait pour souligner une occasion spéciale. Mais surtout, c'est tellement bon! Nous avons essayé le plateau de fruits de mer: frais & délicieux. La serveuse, Clara, nous a également suggéré plusieurs succulents mezze & un excellent vin. C'était ma deuxième fois & j'étais contente de pouvoir faire découvrir cet endroit à mon fils. Cette 2e fois fût aussi extraordinaire que la première. Certainement un de nos restos préférés. Merci à tous pour la belle soirée.
We weren't staying at the hotel but walked past & were so happy we stopped for breakfast, amazing decor, amazing food, really good value for money & the service (thanks Melissa!) was fantastic, they took our coats at the door!
I honestly don't understand why this place is only rated 4.4 as it deserves so much higher! I'll admit, I was hesitant to come after reading some of the reviews, but I'm so glad I did. I brought a client here, & we ended up ordering almost everything on the menu - every single dish was outstanding.
The octopus was perfectly seasoned & juicy, the moussaka was beautifully done, the Greek salad was fresh, & even the beef mignon was incredibly tender. The service, staff, decor, & ambiance were all impeccable.
I'll definitely be coming back with friends & clients alike. If you're reading this, don't let the online rating fool you, go try it for yourself. You won't be disappointed!
