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.
Our dinner at Mama C was easily one of our top three dining experiences ever. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere struck that rare balance between professionalism & genuine warmth.
Our waiter, Josh, set the tone for the evening with attentive service. He made us feel completely at ease while still delivering the kind of polished experience you'd expect from a truly exceptional restaurant. The sea bass was a highlight, especially watching Josh debone it tableside with effortless skill.
The sommelier, Jonathan, was also impressive. His wine recommendations were thoughtful, intuitive, & absolutely spot?on. We left happy with each pairing & also with a few new bottles we will want to seek out in the future. His enthusiasm & expertise added so much to the night.
Between the graciousness of both Josh & Jonathan, the evening felt personal in a way that's hard to come by. & while Montreal spoiled us with incredible food throughout our trip, Mamma C was the standout meal & is the one we're still talking about. The desserts alone were unforgettable.
A special mention as well to the bartender, who crafted a cocktail that perfectly matched the flavour profile I described. It was one of those small but meaningful touches that elevated the entire experience.
My friends & I loved the food so much! They had a sommelier that recommended us the best wine to pair with our food. Our server Josh was extremely attentive & knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

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.
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.
Been a few times already with absolute great moments. Josh was awesome with our party of 6 last night, complete with amazing suggestions & service.
Jonathan, the sommelier, brought a superb & comprehensive wine experience as well.
An all-out 10!

First off, I want to say 5 stars aren't enough for the incredible hospitality & service Nikita provided for us tonight. From the very beginning, we were met with warmth, personality & professionalism. The wine was exquisite, the food was even better, & the ambience was undefeated. We are not from Montreal, but we will be visiting again specifically to dine at Mama C under Nikita's exquisite care. Merci beaucout from Vancouver.
Food, wine, atmosphere, & service was incredible. We dropped in on a Wednesday evening & the vibes were immaculate. The actual space is warm & inviting. Everyone working there was lovely, passionate, & knowledgeable. The food. Omg the food. Hands down the best we've had our whole trip to Montreal. Thank you to everyone at Mama C, we had a wonderful experience ✨💕
Absolutely loved my experience at Mama C! The atmosphere is warm & elegant, with stunning decor that feels like a perfect mix of Mediterranean charm & Old Montreal sophistication.
The food was phenomenal - fresh, vibrant, & beautifully plated. The dorade sashimi & the lamb shoulder (carved right at the table!) were absolute standouts.
A special shoutout to Leslie, the sommelière, who made our night extra special. Her wine recommendations were thoughtful & spot-on, & you could really feel her passion & deep knowledge. She brought a whole new layer of enjoyment to the meal - the wine pairings truly elevated each dish.
Service overall was excellent: attentive, friendly, & unrushed. Mama C is ideal for date night, a celebration, or just a memorable evening out. Can't wait to return!
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!

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 .
**🌟 A Culinary Masterpiece in Old Montreal - Mama C is a Must-Visit! 🌟**
If you're looking for a dining experience that dazzles the senses & redefines modern Greek cuisine, **Mama C** in Old Town Montreal is your new obsession. From the moment you step inside, the vibrant, hip atmosphere wraps you in warmth, blending rustic charm with chic, contemporary flair. But the real magic? The food. Oh, the *food*!
Let's start with the star of the show: the **filet mignon**. This isn't just a dish-it's a revelation. Melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly seared, & seasoned with a bold Mediterranean rub that dances on the palate. Paired with velvety garlic-infused mashed potatoes & crisp seasonal veggies, every bite felt like a standing ovation. & the **juicy chicken**? Marinated to perfection, bursting with herbaceous, citrusy notes, & so succulent it practically sings. The aromas alone-smoky grilled meats, zesty lemon, & fresh oregano-transform the dining room into a fragrant paradise you'll never want to leave.
The **extensive bar** is a wonderland for cocktail lovers. Sip on inventive twists on classics like an ouzo-spiked mojito or a fig-infused Old Fashioned, or explore their curated list of Greek wines. Every drink is crafted with the same artistry as the food.
But what truly elevates Mama C to legendary status is the **impeccable service**. The staff radiates genuine warmth, offering expert recommendations without missing a beat. They're attentive, passionate, & make you feel like family-no request is too small.
Whether it's a romantic date night, a celebratory feast, or a solo treat-yourself moment, Mama C delivers perfection on every plate. This isn't just a meal; it's a memory. **Run, don't walk-your taste buds will thank you!**
**Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)**
*Mama C, you've stolen my heart (& my appetite). Until next time!*
Restaurant has a modern decor & feel. Going in, you feel fancy with all the well dressed old-port patrons.
The musical was suttle & a good mix of alternative modern Greek tracks.
Service was great except for a few hiccups. Our wine selection was not available & suggested bottled were +20 or +25. Felt a bit intentional, but we went with it anyway since it was a special occasion. Suggested wine was good.
We had the salad Spanakopita (amazing!). I personally loved it since it dont like cooked spinach. Tyropita had an incredible cheese sauce which was unfortunately overpowered by the truffle oil. Had it been without the oil, itd be perfect. Brought it to the attention of the waitress who explained it's a'something you like or don't like...'. Anyway, the lamp skewer was incredible.
I'm a big hater of pastitsio but GOD that plate was good. Will definitely try to recreate it.
The dessert baklava was amazing. Was refreshing not to have to fight with layers of Phyllis & nuts for once.
Overall it's an incredible experience for Greek food lovers & non. I would recommend for anyone. Just be careful with the tyropita as the truffle oil did overpower any other flavo
Amazing place with authentic Mediterranean food & excellent service. Food: all the meals were really delicious, with the star being the spanakopita salad, extraordinary. The main dish, lamb, was tender, seared to perfection, & served with a jus & thyme oil. The dessert, fantastic. All meals divided by 4 people, lots of food, great value. Left pretty full! Service: our server, Josh, fantastic & knowledgeable, attentive, & quick. Sommelier: great recommendations all through the night, definitely go with Geek wines. Atmosphere: really brings us back to Santorini. The ambiance, the music, the seating. Extremely well thought out layout. The bars are snazzy too. Overall: highly recommended, delicious fresh food & authentic options, excellent service & ambience. Will go back certainly to try the moussaka.

What a wonderful find! I've never had such an upscale, modern Greek cuisine. I was impressed with the quality of service, the sommelier helped us select a wine, the cocktails, wine & food courses exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend!
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
Great ambiance, service & delicious food. Everything is made with fresh ingredients & you taste that. Lots of flavor in every bite. They have a very nice wine selection also. Because they're in the building with a hotel they're open when other places may not be. Definitely worth a visit & we'll be back.
5 stars all around! I went here for dinner & drinks with a group of friends & everything was amazing. The hostess was so fun & friendly & seated us right away. We ordered some drinks off of the wine & cocktail menu & all were very happy with them - I personally ordered the Rodi Mule & loved it. It was a good pomegranate twist on the classic Moscow mule. Our server Josh was very friendly too & gave us some great recommendations. We ended up ordering several dishes to share & everything was delicious but our favorites were the moussaka & the shrimp saganaki. To finish we tried the bougatsa dessert & it was so good, & plenty big to split between the five of us. On top of the great food & service the interior of the restaurant itself was beautiful. We arrived shortly after they opened for dinner but by the time we left it was crowded so it seems like a popular spot. Overall we were super impressed by the service, food, & drinks & would absolutely come back!
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.
