L'endroit est très beau. Cependant, le service était très long : car je cite « nous pensions ne plus avoir de burger, mais finalement nous en avons retrouver » : à croire qu'ils étaient cachés au fond du congèlo… Avant cela, nous avons attendu 45minutes pour commander. Aucun geste n'a été effectué. Nous ne reviendrons pas.
Heard amazing things about this place from friends, but our experience was rough. Service was super slow - took over 20 minutes just to have the waitress come see us for cocktails & then another 15 to receive them. I really don't mind waiting - however the waitress did not apologize once. We were told we'd get a portion & a half since we were a group of eight, but that never happened, so we left still hungry. It also took about 20 minutes just for our waitress to split the bill at the end. Overall, really disappointed but the restaurant atmosphere is nice at least!
I'll start off by saying I think the food was great, very fresh & the meat was cooked perfectly. However besides the taste of the food, I would say everything else was subpar. The service was extremely slow. It took us almost an hour from the time we were seated to get our drinks. We also had to ask to have our water glasses refilled multiple times. Then it was more than an hour between the two services. We were told that we would only be able to order once since they don't let you order multiple times when it's busy, so when I ordered for the table (group of 8) the waitress ensured it was enough for all of us. However when the food came, we literally each got 1 bite of each dish. They also did not have the size of fish we ordered in stock so they brought us a smaller one which was way too small for our group. Then when it came time to pay the bill we asked her to split it evenly between 6 of us (it was 2 friends birthday so we paid their part of the bill). However when the 6 bills came, they were all different prices. To make it easier I just said put it on one bill & we will split it ourselves. Then when she brings the bill back it is the longest bill I've ever seen. She said she could only fix the bill (to have each item listed only once) by cancelling the order & re-entering it so I said ok please do that so it's easier for us to split after. She then says she doesn't want to & won't do that because it'messes up her stats'… very strange answer… honestly for the price I would not recommend
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!

We had a wonderful experience! The servers were exceptionally friendly & attentive, & the food quality was outstanding. I loved the lively & welcoming ambiance. I went there with my parents & my sister to celebrate my birthday, & I truly enjoyed every moment of it. The only dish that wasn't quite to my taste was the moussaka, which was a bit too salty for me, but everything else was absolutely excellent. I will definitely be coming back!
Group of 7 people. Thursday evening. No problem, reserved tables a day before the meeting. Work colleagues came... No show-off. Just relax, talk. Timely, unobtrusive service. We didn't take 200 photos of the dishes in all poses, waiting for the food to cool down. Just enjoy. Beautiful interior, a little noisy - & this is a great sign of the popularity of the establishment. The dishes are not complicated, but most of them are very tasty & on time. We ordered cocktails that are not on the menu - they made them & brought them without any problems!! Great evening! Will we come back - of course we will!
We had a lovely lunch at Mama C that turned into a truly memorable experience. Every dish was a pure delight, beautifully presented, full of flavor, & clearly crafted with care. The culinary creativity & attention to detail made the meal feel special from start to finish.
However, the service was slower than expected, especially given that the restaurant wasn't busy at the time. Prices were on the higher side, which made the pace of service feel a bit mismatched with the overall experience.
Still, Mama C delivers on taste & ambiance, & we'd happily return for another indulgent meal.
