A very elegant & beautiful restaurant. The ambience is very romantic & no pictures do it justice. The food itself is unforgettable, I felt like Remy from Ratatouille when he was tasting the cheese & strawberry. Every bite was a bliss to my taste buds. Our waiter was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the menu & gave us the perfect recommendations. Our personal favourite was the octopus appetizer. The waiters' service was very professional & attentive & engaging. Our glasses were never empty & our finished plates never lingered on our table.
My only regret is the coat service. Unfortunately, my partner's coat was dragged on the floor twice, & it was pretty upsetting to see. I don't believe it was done on purpose, but it was unexpected for such a high end restaurant. Otherwise, the young ladies at the reception were more than delightful & welcoming. They also answer the phone very quickly & are very helpful with any questions or requests.
The bathrooms are clean & gender neutral, so don't feel lost when you can't find the gendered bathroom signs. The entrance to the restaurant is through the Mama C café, there's a nice waiting area decorated by cozy couches & warm dimmed lights.
Overall, the experience was unforgettable & we have already recommended the restaurant to everyone we know. I can't wait to return. The presentation & flavors were exceptional - culinary artistry at its finest. My sincere compliments to the chef.

Popped in for a drink one night & really enjoyed the atmosphere. We came back for brunch & it was delicious. Would rec this breakfast to anyone. Great cappuccino.

Hier je suis allée prendre un matcha au Mama C & c'était vraiment délicieux! L'ambiance était cosy…
le serveur luca est super accueillant & a une très belle énergie.
Service was amazing. Claire made sure we were taken care of throughout the night. The octopus was the best we've ever had. Never knew it could be that tender. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellente cuisine grecque moderne. Nous avons été servis par Nikita. Il a été de bon conseil. Il connaissait vraiment bien son menu & la carte des vins. Merci!
We had a most enjoyable family lunch, with eleven of us, including four children. The menu was most original, with classic dishes, most with a Greek take on them (steak tartare is divine!). Our waitress, Melissa, was amazing, possibly one of the best servers I have had the pleasure to experience. It started when we entered & she took the initiative to seat our family in a quiet corner. Melissa was incredibly patient in taking our order, creative with her recommendations, especially when it came to the kids' order. Throughout the meal, Melissa was attentive & proactive & made our luncheon a wonderful reunion.
The spanakopita salad was excellent, as were the oysters. The lobster pasta for 2 had enough for 2 bites each. The lobster was a generous portion but the actual noodle weren't proportional for 2 people, we expressed that & they brought us more noodles especially since we had leftover sauce & lobster meat. Overall the staff was great & the foot was great.
I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious - every dish was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The ambience was warm & inviting, making it a perfect place to relax & enjoy a great meal.
A special shoutout to our server, Chloe, who made the experience even better. She was friendly, attentive, & very professional throughout our visit. Her service truly elevated our dining experience.
Highly recommend this place! Will definitely be coming back. 🍽✨
Tried THE MAMA C EXPERIENCE (125$ per person)'a four-course culinary journey with 6 to 8 shared plates showcasing some of their finest offerings.'
Honestly, it was way too much food. Some dishes were good, others were delicious. Unfortunately, the thin steak at the end didn't do it for me, but overall, the food was solid. We also had a couple of vodka martinis & Old Fashioneds, which were very good.
This is a high-end restaurant, so expect pricey dishes & dress nicely. The ambiance is pretty nice & the clientele is classy.
An amazing restaurant located in a renovated hotel, hotel Nellygan in old downtown Montreal. Amazing decoration, amazing ambience & the first drink at the bar.
We had some delicious dishes to share all of them with a great presentation & super nyami & then sea bass as a second, which was tasty, fresh & exquisite. We share 2 super tasty desserts that leave us without words. Definitely a place to go back again.
