We stumbled across Mama C by accident & oh my goodness it was some of the best food I've ever had. My boyfriend & I go to Greece a lot & he being Greek is very particular about authentic Greek food. The food blew our mind. We got the Greek salad, full sea bass with air of beets. My boyfriend never eats vegetables & he raved about the roasted beets. They were amazing, & the fish was spectacular. He even went back to the chef to personally compliment him on the beets!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Also the staff is wonderful & very kind. Can't wait to go back once I'm in Montreal again.

Mama C is an absolute gem. The food is consistently delicious, comforting, & thoughtfully prepared, with flavours that feel both elevated & soulful. Every dish is made with care, & you can truly taste the quality of the ingredients. I keep going back for the grilled octopus & grilled fish. They are able to accommodate all my dietary needs without even raising an eyebrow.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, & unpretentious-the kind of place you want to return to again & again. The service is friendly, attentive, & genuine, making the entire experience feel effortless & welcoming.

Mama C strikes that rare balance between neighbourhood favourite & destination-worthy restaurant. A must-visit in Montréal, whether for a casual meal or a special moment shared around great food.

Exceptional from start to finish. Shoutout to the sous chef & our waitress Melissa. Try the fish of the day, the beat salad, & the Greek salad. The 12-month Assyrtiko was a 10/10.

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

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.

High end Greek food. VERY well presented, & very good tastes. My wife thought her fish filet was done perfectly. Easy going, but special. Definitely worth a return visit.

The restaurant is very pretty but had a mediocre experience. For starters when we walked in the restaurant & it had a very fishy smell. Having gotten over that since it's a fish restaurant we sat down & ordered. After we placed our order the waiter came back & told us the fish one of us ordered they didn't have anymore so we ordered something different. Then a few minutes later came back to tell us the other fish we ordered they didn't have. As a matter of fact they had no more fish. It was 730 in the evening Not sure why they didn't tell us when we came in since we came for fish. Grudgingly we ordered other things. The main courses were not delivered at the same time. Some had to start to eat before the others. One main went back as it was cold as were the sides. Asked for bread & showed up after the mains showed up. The waiter was MIA for a good part of the meal no water refill etc. I had to get up at one point & let him we were not feeling the love. The food was ok but the Experience tainted the taste.
Took the sides off the bill but needed to do better.

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.

Great place , delicious foods, but one of the servers was a little obnoxious trying to tell that the fish that I ordered was a hundred dollars fish . I didn't ask for the price, I replied.
Put away that little mishap, I would definitely go back next time Im in Montreal.

Fabulous dinner, sashimi was delicious, but the octopus wasn't our favourite (over cooked & interesting flavour combo). But the whole fish special & the lemon potato's are a must. Would come again to try more items on the menu. Expensive but tasty.

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.

We were a group of 4: ordered 2 sashimi, shimp & lamb chops, 2 glasses whites wines. $300. At that price i expected à little more. One of the fish was extremely salty, & the staff was notified but not ackno?wedged. I trust this was a one off incident, & would welcome à chance for remediation. If this post stands , it means issue hasnt beem resolved as of yet .The venue is beautiful .

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.

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

All the touted restaurants were reserved for the evening so we walked to the western end of Rue de St Paul & we saw Mama C (which was not marked on our map of restaurants). It too was booked but we were offered seats at the bar which is usually our favorite being'ring side' to all the action & the personalized service which Antonni the bar tender with his wizardry mixing drink orders & Alima our server richly provided. Her recommendations suited our palates to the T including the delicious wine from Macedonia! to pair with my Mousaka while my wife ordered the grilled octopus. Both were delicious flavorful. Alima suggested the pita with a delicious dip of creamy dip flavored with a drizzle of juice from fish eggs as an appetizer - an unexpected treat. Servers like Alima with her easy efficient friendly manner & ready humor set the tone for a fine evening. Then the artfully designed ambience with the soft music all made our evening at Mama C a special time. Highly recommended.

Pretty much like the what everyone is saying, beautiful place love the decor. *The food was tasty but very pricey & when u order the fish 🐟 doesn't come with No rice or vegetables on the dish. *You need to add a side dish . ($) The portions are a decent size. I'm happy I got to try the restaurant once , but it's nothing to die for. I wouldn't say OMG I want to come eat here every week. The hostesses was very professional, excellent service. 🤩 I saw a waiter pickup dirty glasses by hands & not on a tray. Not professional. * unfortunately in front of the restaurant there's Big construction 🚧, & not easy to find parking. I suggest arrive with taxi or Uber or park in the hotel. Or valet parking.
