Came here for breakfast, so only judging that. Many reviews are complaining about the price, it is definitely expensive for what you get, but remember the location & decor, they put a lot of money in both, you're also paying for that. If you want to have a meal be a closer price to what the owner paid for the ingredients, you must leave the city. The food was good, however the potatoes & eggs were cold, we were only two people & there was one table sitting next to us, the rest of the restaurant was empty, so no excuse for that. Given the high price, you should be getting warm quality food(quality was there). The host & waitress were very friendly. The waitress brought different juice choices to the table as soon as we sat down, great marketing tactic as it look to good to resist. Coffee & hot chocolate was good too. Message to the owner or manager: You should compensate clients when they have really bad experiences. Simply telling them you hope they'll give you another chance & that you'll share the feedback with the team isn't enough. As a loyal Montreal foodie, I completely lose respect for businesses that give insincere responses. The cost of living is high, & if someone chooses to invest their money in your business, you should show appreciation.

Based off of recommendations online, we were excited to give Mama C a try. First off, the general vibe & decor was stunning. We were so excited to be seated, but the hostess seemed annoyed & generally unpleasant. Our server was nice but seemed like he was in a rush & didn't take the time to explain anything on the menu or any specials. When we asked about the difference between two types of fish (catch of the day, which were not on the menu) all he could say was "one is bigger". We noticed that the pricing for the food was really high, but decided to give it a chance. Cheapest pasta is $42 & salads are $30+. That's fine but it took a while for us to simply order & receive our drinks & food. Our conversation kept getting interrupted by hostesses that were yelling, running around & joking with the servers (who seemed visibly annoyed). Then we noticed the hostesses sat down at the bar to eat while periodically getting up to greet guests. While they were eating, we kept waiting. The food was good but it was not worth the price, especially for abysmal service. The side of lemon potatoes was so sour it ended up being inedible. The main dishes are very plain & don't come with any sides. We ordered a shareable steak for $138 & it was good but very plain - nothing special. This place is a hard pass, especially when there are dozens of incredible restaurants in Montréal.

Amazing! The decor, the service, the food. All amazing. We started with cocktails & wine, followed by more wine. Each drink was delicious. We had the seafood tower. Oysters, shrimp, crab, lobster... plus the bass tartare, another fish I'm forgetting the name of... each item was explained to us in detail along with where they come from (shrimp from Argentina for example). Then onto the second serving, we had pasta, kebab, more fish, tomato salad... everything was so incredibly full of flavor. Major shout out to our server, Kim. She was an absolute delight & so full of knowledge over the cuisine being presented. She even de boned the fish table side with precision. I will most certainly be back. I wish I took food pics, I was too distracted by how delicious everything was

I was impressed by the decor ; stylish with a warm ambiance that set a great tone for the evening. Unfortunately, we waited quite a while for someone to take our order, which was a bit frustrating. When the food finally arrived, it was flavorful but overly salty. Every dish, including the broccolini, had an excessive amount of salt, which made it hard to fully enjoy the flavors.

Probably the best Montreal restaurant I've tried in the past year. The decor is warm & welcoming, the food was well prepared with great portions (something rare in 2024 lol) & the whole staff is very attentive/well trained. Just to tell you how good it was: I went back the next day
