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.

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.

Le baklava mille feuille m'as laissé sans mots. Le meilleur dessert que j'ai mangé depuis longtemps!
