Amazing experience at Mama C Restaurant!
The space is beautiful & very welcoming, & the food & coffee were really good. We had a great time there with my parents who were visiting from Mexico.
Basil, our server, was very friendly & attentive. He took the time to explain the dishes in spanish to my family-especially my parents, who don't speak any English-& his recommendations were excellent. That made the whole experience feel relaxed & enjoyable.
My brother & I own a Mexican café in downtown Toronto, so we truly appreciate good food & genuine hospitality. I'd definitely recommend this place if you're visiting the area.
While the atmosphere was high class & the servers well trained, the combination of inappropriately chosen music alongside greatly subpar meals, the likes of which you could find superior renditions of at any other 4-star restaurant, surely left something to be desired.

Fantastic brunch saved by a great waiter, despite a rocky start.
We came here for brunch & the food did not disappoint. Everything was delicious & the Bloody Caesar was top-notch.
I have to mention that the arrival experience was rough; the host was not welcoming & we felt like an inconvenience. We almost left, but our waiter, Xavier, redeemed the experience entirely. He was incredibly friendly & proactive, checking on availability & offering alternatives when needed.
The main dining room is chic & sophisticated, but we opted for the cafe side for more of a warm lounge ambiance. Huge thanks to our server for being so flexible & moving our table last minute. The aesthetic is 10/10. We ordered the salmon bowl & shared some fries-both were fantastic. Highly recommend for a chilly day lunch!'
Absolutely beautiful restaurant, attentive service. Found the portions to be quite small for the price point but can't say I'm surprised as its old port classy.
Absolutely decadent! The dippings for the pita bread is to die for! The filet mignon is so incredibly tender & juicy, it's better than some of the steaks I had in steakhouses. The salads are very fresh. It's just such an aesthetic environment & the servers are so nice.
Dined here for a family night out & the food, service & ambience was impeccable. Basil was our waiter & he was kind & attentive. The rest of the staff was also great. But most importantly the food was absolutely delicious!!!! Beautiful place & location 100% recommend
Belle place pour étudier le matin, avec un service agréable & une bonne nourriture. Par contre, après 15 h, on est venus nous demander d'arrêter d'étudier & de ranger nos ordinateurs, en nous expliquant que c'était la politique de l'établissement. Aucun problème, nous avons respecté la demande. Ce qui est fascinant, toutefois, c'est que plusieurs personnes autour de nous continuaient d'étudier sur leurs ordinateurs sans être dérangées. Pourtant, la même personne qui nous a avertis voyait très clairement les autres ordis. On a donc pu découvrir que la politique de l'établissement fonctionne comme un filtre sélectif. En tout cas, l'expérience laisse un arrière-goût d'incohérence & décevante pour ne pas dire d'injustice & irrespectueuse.

Melisa est très professionnelle & sympathique , accueil extraordinaire . Direction aussi sympathique que notre hôtesse . Avons renouvel'e notre visite dans cet établissement . Je recommande fortement
N'allez pas la pour la gastronomie grec mais seulement pour la beauté du restaurant.
Nous avions commencé avec des entrées.
Calamars grillés pas grillés du tout donc manquais le goût du charbon. Brochettes d'agneau, cetais deux mini brochettes secs
Moussaka fade avec peu de goût le filet mignon était difficile à mastiquer j'ai pas pu avaler certains morceaux. Les assiettes de mes amis étais tiède
En fait cetais beaucoup trop cher pour ce que cela valait. Grosse déception pour un groupe de 6 personnes pour un anniversaire.
J'y retournerai juste pour un verre mais sans plus.
Nous sommes allé 4 filles & avons toutes été déçues de la nourriture. Le décor est magnifique & les prix sont quand même élevés donc cela donne un style & la nourriture ne va pas dans le même sens!
Been a few times already with absolute great moments. Josh was awesome with our party of 6 last night, complete with amazing suggestions & service.
Jonathan, the sommelier, brought a superb & comprehensive wine experience as well.
An all-out 10!

Le Café Mama C est un très joli endroit on y est bien reçu avec un personnel souriant & sympathique & que de dire des menu qui sont à tout heure de la journée très diversifiée & alléchant!!
Une vrai déception. Dès l'accueil …
Nous sommes arrivé vers 14h30 … le serveur n'est passé à notre table qu'à 15h05 … 35 minutes d'attente.
& surprise … le menu change à 15h00. Pour nous faire payer plus; la même chose & en plus petite quantité. Le serveur n'a même pas voulu être arrangeant & a juste exécuté des règles strictes même si c'est de sa faute parce que nous l'avions attendu 35 mins.
Restaurant qui prend ses clients pour des pigeons.
