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.
Much recommended greek restaurant in Vieux-Port. Ideal for a Date.
I would just lower the music, & make it a little more suitable for the Greek setting, instead of Turkish songs.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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??
I honestly don't understand why this place is only rated 4.4 as it deserves so much higher! I'll admit, I was hesitant to come after reading some of the reviews, but I'm so glad I did. I brought a client here, & we ended up ordering almost everything on the menu - every single dish was outstanding.
The octopus was perfectly seasoned & juicy, the moussaka was beautifully done, the Greek salad was fresh, & even the beef mignon was incredibly tender. The service, staff, decor, & ambiance were all impeccable.
I'll definitely be coming back with friends & clients alike. If you're reading this, don't let the online rating fool you, go try it for yourself. You won't be disappointed!

Outrageously good food & service at this upscale Greek establishment. Our server Ilian was so good - knowledgeable & friendly with a good sense of humor too. Really from the first moment stepping in, we had excellent service from the hostess, bartender & the wait staff. Definitely not cheap but well worth it!
Love this restaurant. Been a few times now & truly enjoy it. Food is amazing. All the plates were very savoury. Service is great & ambiance is perfect. Not too noisy either. Best greek restaurant in the city. Prices are not exaggerated for location.
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.

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.
Absolutely outstanding! Authentic Greek flavors, generous portions, & warm, welcoming service that makes you feel like family. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional Greek dining experience.
The food is really average, octopus mezze didn't taste like anything, the greek salad absolutely boring. The dessert ( halva) nothing to write home about. Very expensive bad experience.
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.
