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 The waiters even withdrawn the fishbones!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.
