Mama C rend hommage à la terre des oliveraies, où les saveurs baignent sous le soleil méditerranéen et dansent sous le ciel étoilé. Inspiré par la fraîcheur des îles et la chaleur du continent, nos plats témoignent de la qualité. Des fruits de mer et de la viande aux ingrédients locaux et frais, ils évoquent une touche moderne et contemporaine sur la tradition grecque. En mariant des notes d’agrumes et d’herbes aux produits frais de la terre et de la mer, Mama C propose à la fois des plats classiques et modernes, chacun inspirant le partage et le réconfort.
Dans de nombreuses visites, Mama C reçoit des éloges pour une atmosphère chaleureuse et élégante, des plats d'inspiration grecque qui allient raffinement et réconfort, et un service globalement attentif. Des plats tels que le poulpe, la dorade, le pastitsio, des salades vives et des desserts bien pensés témoignent d'une présentation soignée et de saveurs audacieuses, tandis que le vin et les cocktails apportent une touche supplémentaire de finesse. L'ambiance convient parfaitement pour des soirées en amoureux, des occasions spéciales ou un dîner entre amis, avec un intérieur chic et un personnel accueillant qui contribuent à une expérience mémorable. Certains commentaires signalent des portions plus petites ou des prix plus élevés, et certaines soirées peuvent être plus animées ou plus calmes, mais l'impression générale est celle d'une qualité et d'une hospitalité qui donnent envie de revenir.
Loved this restaurant!! It was fabulous! Had a chic 70s modern decor in gold tons. Nice big table for our group by the wine selection. Friendly & attentive staff.
Great wine selection. I loved the white we tried. It was light & refreshing.
We tried the shrimp dip with tomato & feta. So yummy with pita. Also had the spanokopita salad & I loved this!! A salad built on this is a great idea & was delicious. We also had the lamb kebab..so delicious. Served with red pickles onions, tzatziki & a little salad. So delicious . The meat was tender & juicy.
For dessert we had the shareable phyllo pastry with custard & it was delicious. Not too sweet & love the crispy phyllo.
- Nourriture moyenne & assez cher ( plat 3 demi crevette dans mon assiette & agneau très cuit & sec // dessert correct )
- une salle très belle malgré que très bruyante pour un dinner un mardi soir (salle non complète )
- service très agréable malgré 2 mails reçu le lendemain indiquant un no show & sous entendant une facturation supplémentaire

Our dinner at Mama C was easily one of our top three dining experiences ever. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere struck that rare balance between professionalism & genuine warmth.
Our waiter, Josh, set the tone for the evening with attentive service. He made us feel completely at ease while still delivering the kind of polished experience you'd expect from a truly exceptional restaurant. The sea bass was a highlight, especially watching Josh debone it tableside with effortless skill.
The sommelier, Jonathan, was also impressive. His wine recommendations were thoughtful, intuitive, & absolutely spot?on. We left happy with each pairing & also with a few new bottles we will want to seek out in the future. His enthusiasm & expertise added so much to the night.
Between the graciousness of both Josh & Jonathan, the evening felt personal in a way that's hard to come by. & while Montreal spoiled us with incredible food throughout our trip, Mamma C was the standout meal & is the one we're still talking about. The desserts alone were unforgettable.
A special mention as well to the bartender, who crafted a cocktail that perfectly matched the flavour profile I described. It was one of those small but meaningful touches that elevated the entire experience.
Le restaurant était presque vide à notre arrivée. On nous propose une table en plein milieu de la salle pas très confortable & on demande à voir un booth. On nous répond que les booth sont réservés & qu'il faut le faire à l'avance mais ce n'est mentionné nulle part sur le site & cela ne nous a pas été dit au moment où on a « téléphoné » pour la réservation. Comment le savoir si c'est notre première fois? Donc déjà la on part d'un mauvais pied. Cependant ils ont pu nous trouver un compromis.
La nourriture était bonne. Cependant le service était extrêmement lent. 30 minutes entre chaque plat. On a fini par se lasser & nous qui voulions des desserts avons fini par ne plus en commander. De plus le serveur était assez snob. On dirait qu'il nous servait juste parce qu'il n'avait pas le choix. Il nous avait profilé & c'était fait un avis (négatif) sur nous donc c'est limité au minimum syndical. Si il a avait pu refuser de nous servir, franchement je pense qu'il l'aurait fait. Le couple de bobo à la table à côté par contre a eu droit au grand jeu. On a fini le repas & on attendu plus de 20 minutes les factures alors qu'on le voyait d'où on était assis & qu'il ne semblait pas particulièrement occupé. Il s'en foutait juste de nous. C'était assez méprisant. Oui, la nourriture était bonne, mais pas assez pour compenser pour le service dédaigneux & assez discriminatoire que nous avons reçu.
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.
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.
Passing by this restaurant & decided to try the lunch menu. The grilled octopus was very delicious, & the beef tartare was very good too! The portion is very generous. I also love the dessert 💖
It was a surprise for me, I really enjoyed the food & the service was very nice. Will definitely come back again to try other dishes on the menu :)

While visiting Montreal we noticed this restaurant while walking & looking for a dinner spot. We were greeted warmly & seated without a reservation.
We had cocktails with Lot 40 Canadian Whiskey, a lamb kabob appetizer, halibut, & pasta main dishes.
All the staff were knowledgeable, helpful, & efficient. The service was well timed & the atmosphere was quiet, sophisticated, yet fun. We finished the night with a bougatsa dessert (pictured below), not to be missed.
New! More ways to react to reviews.
This was one of the best restaurants we have been to. All of our group has great meals & service ! Dessert , courses all great!!
Minor, minor issue. Coffee not great
Came back again next evening.
La nourriture était délicieuse, nous avons tout aimé. Le plateau de fruits de mer était frais, la pieuvre & le loup de mer absolument divins. Nous avons opté pour le menu découverte, les portions sont très copieuses, voire trop copieuses, nous nous sentions mal d'en'gaspiller' parce qu'il y en avait juste trop. Nous avons même pris le dessert pour emporter. Les bons mangeurs seront comblés. Il pourrait être pertinent de réduire les portions & prix du menu découverte, ce qui est rare. Ailleurs, les portions sont souvent très petites.
Côté service, notre serveur était sympathique & avenant au début, mais le service a ralenti & moins présent à mi-repas, ce qui a un peu teinté notre expérience. 3h30 pour un repas 4 services, il y avait des longueurs entre les plats. Au final, un autre serveur nous a fait payé après avoir attendu 15 minutes pour payer après avoir reçu l'addition.
Nous y retournerons & recommandons sans hésiter, mais nous choisirons nos plats pour avoir moins de nourriture, & espérons que le service sera plus attentionné & régulier. Très bonne adresse!
this greek restaurant has good service & the ambience is nice. me & my family had greek salad moussaka fish & fava beans we also had paprika fries on the side. my greek salad was good for the first 10 or so bites but after that the dressing kind of overpowered the dish. For dessert we had bougatsa & this was amazing it had oozy chocolate & salted caramel sauce to put on top of & it was really good. Overall.

An awesome restaurant. Food is fresh & delicious & service is outstanding. A dish delivered not exactly to order was quickly replaced, along with a dessert! I was very impressed with their concern for customers, ensuring we had a great experience.
There's a kind of magic that drifts through the Old Port on a summer evening-cobblestone charm, golden hour glow, the hum of terrace laughter-& somehow, Mama C captures it all. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we'd stumbled into a hidden gem that doesn't need to shout to be noticed. The service? Warm, unrushed, & genuinely welcoming. The food? Let's just say it's the kind of cooking that makes you pause mid-bite & close your eyes for a second. It's also a reminder that you're in Montreal-one of the world's great culinary capitals! Every dish had heart, like someone's nonna whispered secrets into the sauce. We didn't have room for dessert-though our hearts tried to convince our stomachs otherwise-but it just gives us a reason to return. Mama C isn't just a restaurant. It's a love letter to summer nights, good company, & food that knows how to comfort without trying too hard.
We stayed at Hotel Nelligan for the first time this weekend & had the pleasure of being served by Kim at Mama C's! She recommended dessert & drinks, & we loved it all. She was very down to earth, personable & attentive. I'd say she was the best server I've ever encountered in my years of travel. You are an incredibly lucky establishment to have her. We'd recommend Mama C's any day!
My partner & I had a wonderful time. The food was delicious & the Octopus entrée making it easily in our top 2 plates of the night. The atmosphere was modern with a twist. We had ordered the sashimi aka gravlax entrée & it was disappointing which was pointed out by the waiter as one of his recommendations.
Service was excellent for most of the evening: attentive, & friendly. However, when we politely declined dessert & asked for the bill, service stumbled a little. It took about 10 minutes for the payment machine to be brought over, & we eventually had to flag down a second staff member to settle up. This incident made me lose a star since it felt like as soon as we were not increasing the bill we became un-interesting. The price is definitely at a higher budget. Great for special occasions.
Small hicup I had specificed that this was for a birthday & it was not acknowledged by the server.

My friends brought me here for my birthday dinner & we had a great experience. The atmosphere is very nice & the service was good. As for the food, our favourite dishes were the orzo, the filet mignon kebabs & the red pepper dip. The fries were not that great & kinda tasted like McDonald fries. The spanakopita salad was good but it was small in my opinion for the price. The bougatsa dessert which consisted of a flaky philo pastry & custard was good but not the best I've tasted. Cocktails were also good & unique! Overall food was good but a bit pricey.
Une expérience vraiment au top.
Ambiance feutrée, classe mais pas m'as tu vu, un service au petit soin, le serveur, un amour.
& les plats....c'est rare mais un sans faute du cocktail au dessert.
Une expérience culinaire forte & intense.
Les prix sont un peu élevés, mais le service, la maîtrise des plats & l'authenticité grecque, vaut ces tarifs.
Mama C's is a beautifully designed restaurant, & if you want an elegant night out, this is a lovely spot to visit. The food is great, & you should get a few things to share because there are many delicious plates to try. The meat plates were all good, & the spanakopita salad was a delight, but I'd personally nix the Tzatziki entrée, it wasn't bad, just plain & not worth the money. I would also highly recommend the Bougatsa dessert, it is delicious & honestly huge. We all shared, & we barely finished it. Keep in mind, though, that this restaurant is in a nice hotel downtown, so it is on the pricier side, but honestly, it was worth it, & no one was left wanting more.
