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.
Les avis convergent sur Mama C comme une adresse grecque moderne où la cuisine est inventive et savoureuse, l'ambiance chic et chaleureuse et le service attentif. La carte met en valeur des fruits de mer frais et des plats revisités comme la pieuvre, la dorade sashimi, le pastitsio à la truffe et la moussaka, avec des desserts mémorables tels que la bougatsa et le baklava mille-feuille. Le choix de vins et de cocktails, guidé par un sommelier compétent, est apprécié pour ses accords soignés. Le cadre du Vieux-Port et la décoration raffinée ajoutent au plaisir, et le personnel sait mettre les convives à l'aise dès l'accueil. Certaines remarques évoquent des portions parfois modestes ou des prix élevés et des services qui varient selon les soirées, mais l'ensemble est largement salué comme une expérience gastronomique mémorable et idéale pour des occasions ou des repas entre amis ou en amoureux. Le service est souvent décrit comme professionnel et chaleureux, avec des détails comme la présentation des plats et une attention constante. Mama C est une destination prisée dans le quartier, où chaque visite peut devenir un souvenir durable.
Great experience with a delicious lunch menu. We reserved a table for 15 people to celebrate a colleague's retirement. The experience from completing the reservation up until the end of meal was great. Melissa was very nice & took time to explain the menu.
The fish of the day was one of the best fish dishes we've ever had!
Decent greek food. Some items amazing while others left much to be desired.
Plating & service was as to be expected when good, clumsy when bad (ie. assistant server injecting himself into a wine selection presentation & tasting, dropping off a dish missing plates & ultimately breaking the flow of said presentation).
Certain dishes seemed to be a bit lukewarm for what they warranted, while others extremely hot, some arriving nearly instantly, while others arriving after significant waiting, & some exciting & flavourful (pita & dip, sashimi were great, octopus although cold was also quite nice) while others shockingly bland (the moussaka here is a dish served in a shallow au gratin-style pan & tastes only of béchamel sauce, salted meat, & eggplant, rather than being the vibrant, well-plated, & warmly spiced dish it is meant to be, & in complete honesty the greek salad legitimately could have been from a grocery store carton if you had me blindfolded - a slog to finish). Overall an inconsistent menu, from my selections at least.
Had Theo C as a server who was great throughout the meal with wine pairings, conversations, & a shooter for the occasion, however at the end of the meal, payment & tip as well as an exchange of names & handshakes were immediately followed up with the presentation of a business card & branded postcard with a request for a'good google rating' in his name'so he can get a free meal' - something so comically cheap that one wonders where the hell they have even just eaten, a ludicrously tasteless conclusion to what would otherwise be simply a passably mediocre experience. Perhaps the staff were trained by Uber drivers.
Interior design as others have stated is of course beautiful as one would expect at this price point, but given that a restaurant is in need of an interior in order to begin operation, it does not influence my review of the actual operating dining experience.
Overall sentiment is that the restaurant needs to decide what it wants to be: a great greek space that creates genuine, meaningful experiences & promotes an authentic desire to spread good word & return, or a cheap old port tourist trap. I think the area is in more need of something aligning with the former.

This Greek restaurant boasts a fantastic design-warm & welcoming throughout, with dim lighting that instantly puts you at ease. The music is subtle & atmospheric, setting the perfect mood without ever overpowering the conversation. The food is delicious, featuring creative twists on classic Greek dishes where every bite feels thoughtful & flavorful. The sommelier was a real highlight too- knowledgeable, attentive, & genuinely helpful without being pushy. It elevated an already great experience! The staff are genuinely friendly & respectful, always smiling, & the service feels personal & unhurried. Overall, it's a solid choice-I'd happily return!
Modern Greek restaurant with a refined take on classic dishes. The food was consistently good, with a contemporary twist rather than strictly traditional preparations. Service was fast & friendly. The wine list is thoughtfully curated & pairs well with the menu. While it's somewhat on the expensive side, it's mostly justified. Standout dishes for me were the pastitsio & the roasted aubergine. Overall, a solid choice for Greek food.
Cute brunch spot. Service is great. Dining room is stunning. Good selection of dishes on the brunch menu, but all we had was coffee, a croissant & the Greek yogurt dish. Will probably come back for dinner.
Amazing experience at Mama C Restaurant!
The space is beautiful & very welcoming, & the food & coffee were really good. We had a great time there with my parents who were visiting from Mexico.
Basil, our server, was very friendly & attentive. He took the time to explain the dishes in spanish to my family-especially my parents, who don't speak any English-& his recommendations were excellent. That made the whole experience feel relaxed & enjoyable.
My brother & I own a Mexican café in downtown Toronto, so we truly appreciate good food & genuine hospitality. I'd definitely recommend this place if you're visiting the area.
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.

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.
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??
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!

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.
Came for the 3rd time to MamaC & as per usual everything was absolutely perfect.
Hostess greeted us incredibly warm & inviting. Was sat near the front of the restaurant & requested to move to the middle of the room & was accommodated immediately.
Our server Justin who was also behind the bar took care of us & had great suggestions.
The spanakopita salad was delicious as were the other dishes we ordered. Cocktails were well balanced & his wine selection for us were surprising & refreshing.
Can't wait to come back for another fabulous evening.
Bravo to the team & restaurant. Finally a place in Montreal you can count on time & time again!
Disappointing Birthday Dinner & Chef's Menu at Mama C
We chose Mama C for a birthday dinner (5 girls), & while our server was incredibly friendly, the experience was a letdown. We requested light, veggie-focused dishes with no raw food due to a pregnancy. Despite this, we opted for the Chef's Menu, expecting the best.
Instead, the first course was raw, & every subsequent dish was overly creamy, rich, & repetitive. The final course was two disappointing pasta dishes - not what we came to a Greek restaurant for. Portions were doubled, leading to excessive waste. One pasta dish tasted horribly fishy, resulting in diarrhea for all of us & vomiting for one later that night.
When we voiced our disappointment about the lack of fresh seafood, our server admitted she knew the Chef's Menu wasn't adaptable & suggested a custom menu for a return visit. This was frustrating - why wasn't this offered initially, especially after we stated our preferences? The service was also incredibly slow; our 7 PM reservation ended at 11:15 PM.
Overall, despite a great server, the Chef's Menu at Mama C failed to deliver, leaving us unwell & completely underwhelmed.

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.
Loved the classy, high-end decor & lighting, sets the tone for an elevated dining experience. The ambiance is warm & inviting, with amazing vibes that make it perfect for a night out.
The service is top-notch-attentive, friendly, & professional!
What really sets Mama C apart, is its unique twist on traditional Greek cuisine. The dishes retain the comforting flavors of classic Greek food but with a refined, gourmet touch that makes it special.
Mama C is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
The experience was exceptional & credit is due to the wait staff & the chef. They really went above & beyond for a wonderful experience. The food was superb & healthy portions. The dining experience was incredible. All around, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone without hesitating for a moment. I look forward to going back! I am not Greek so I don't remember the names for all the dishes but we ordered 3 mains & 2 appetizers & everyone was superb.
The restaurant decor is stunning. Very elegant & classy.
The food was delicious. We were a bug party, therefore had to take the group menu. It's a little pricy but were had 4 services & the amount of food were more than enough. My favorite dishes were the Seabass fish & the shrimp orzo. The salads & the cervice were great. However, some of the dishes were a little salty.
The service was amazing. The waiters even withdrawn the fishbones!
For a special occasion, it is a nice restaurant to try it out.
I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant! The service was exceptional, with our waitress truly attentive & in tune with our preferences. Marie-Claire ( our waitress) explained the menu in detail, making it easy to choose our dishes. The atmosphere was inviting, & the decor was exquisite, adding to the overall charm of the place. I highly recommend this spot date night,friends night out or for anyone looking for a delightful meal & outstanding service!
