Mama C

The food was very good, portions a bit small for my liking but overall it was a good experience. The atmosphere is good & the decor amazing. Where I had an issue is the service. We were a group of 7 people, the bill was over 1000$ & yet somehow got openly pressed by the staff that our « time » is almost up. I understand that they reserve the table for up to 2h & you have to leave afterwards but it was the first time that I order an additional portion of lamb chops & the answer from the server was « let me check with the kitchen if they can make it quick, because your time is almost up ». Found it profoundly disrespectful & sort of ruined the whole experience. After all, the restaurant business is also about hospitality not only filling up plates.View more

Je recommande fortement ce restaurant. La nourriture était fraîche & savoureuse. Les plats que j'avais choisis ont pour la plupart satisfait ma palette.

J'ai adoré le côté élégant, chaleureux mais à la fois intime du décor. Le personnel était attentif à mes demandes.

Habituellement, les expériences dans les restaurants ne m'impressionnent pas. Or celle-ci m'a beaucoup plu. J'y retournerai certainement.View more

I whole-heartedly recommend Mama C in Montreal's Vieux Port. The quality of everything that is presented here (the attention to detail in the decor, the atmosphere, the service, the creativity of the platings & recipes, the deliciousness of every dish, the many options available, the quantity of each portion & so much more) is incredibly high. We loved every dish, individual portions & shared ones, & we felt at home in a cozy atmosphere with a very attentive staff. Top notch! It is not inexpensive but it is absolutely worth it. Not just food but a beautiful experience that will stay with you for years to come. Thank you, Mama C! We will certainly return!View more

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!View more

Merveilleuse découverte. Nous avons d'abord été charmés par le décor moderne & chaleureux. Le service est impeccable. Beaucoup de personnel, attentionné & présent sans être envahissant. Une mention pour l'excellente prestation de Basil qui était aux petits soins & nous a bien conseillé de même qu'à la sommelière. Les mets sont raffinés & copieux. Tout est savoureux particulièrement la tyropita croustillante, la pieuvre & les trempettes. Bref une soirée parfaite. Si le prix est substantiel, c'est mérité pour cette escapade grecque d'une soirée.View more

Forgettable
Nous avons été attirés par le décor & la note sur Maps. L'accueil était très bien mais aussitôt assis on a compris que ce n'était que de l'apparence. La table nous arrivait à la poitrine & nous étions fort distants.

J'ai pris le toast à l'avocat avec oeufs pochés (2) c'était un beau plat en apparence à son arrivée mais ce n'était qu'un avocat tranché sur une tranche de pain sans aucune saveur & beaucoup trop d'avocat. Pas d'épices ou d'arômes. Il y avait de petits poivrons en dessous heureusement. J'ai pris le jus vert qui était très bien sans plus.

Mon conjoint a pris une omelette & un chocolat chaud tous deux très ordinaires.

Le tout pour 100$.

On y retournera pas.View more

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!View more

The octopus was amazing, but the shrimp & orzo dish was our favorite. The sea bass tartare was fresh & delicious. We had the chocolate tart with pistachios, ice cream & beautiful lattes to end what was a truly phenomenal meal. Other people were talking about how amazing the lamb is, so we will have to go back to try that. Even the asparagus we ordered was charred to perfection with a citrus sauce, sprinkled with feta... Truly delicious!

The decor is beautiful & made up of marble & leather. We sat at an amazing table that looked out on a beautiful street in the heart of the old Port. All around us were little intimate places which are perfect for working or romance.

But it is the staff that take the experience to another level. Working together as a seamless team, everyone from the valet to the waiter & waitresses to the chef were attentive & kind.

We had a fabulous time from beginning to end. Truly a wonderful experience.View more

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.View more

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 flavoView more

Had their lunch menu & it was great. I enjoyed the charred octopus & shrimp youvetsi. Orange cake was nice perhaps better in the summer, as it is very refreshing. Yiayia was a nice drink. Service from hostess & servers was friendly & efficient. I wish they had their own bathroom instead of relying on the hotel though. Nice decor.View more

Came here for breakfast, so only judging that. Many reviews are complaining about the price, it is definitely expensive for what you get, but remember the location & decor, they put a lot of money in both, you're also paying for that. If you want to have a meal be a closer price to what the owner paid for the ingredients, you must leave the city. The food was good, however the potatoes & eggs were cold, we were only two people & there was one table sitting next to us, the rest of the restaurant was empty, so no excuse for that. Given the high price, you should be getting warm quality food(quality was there). The host & waitress were very friendly. The waitress brought different juice choices to the table as soon as we sat down, great marketing tactic as it look to good to resist. Coffee & hot chocolate was good too. Message to the owner or manager: You should compensate clients when they have really bad experiences. Simply telling them you hope they'll give you another chance & that you'll share the feedback with the team isn't enough. As a loyal Montreal foodie, I completely lose respect for businesses that give insincere responses. The cost of living is high, & if someone chooses to invest their money in your business, you should show appreciation.View more

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.View more

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 wasView more

I was impressed by the decor ; stylish with a warm ambiance that set a great tone for the evening. Unfortunately, we waited quite a while for someone to take our order, which was a bit frustrating. When the food finally arrived, it was flavorful but overly salty. Every dish, including the broccolini, had an excessive amount of salt, which made it hard to fully enjoy the flavors.View more

Probably the best Montreal restaurant I've tried in the past year. The decor is warm & welcoming, the food was well prepared with great portions (something rare in 2024 lol) & the whole staff is very attentive/well trained. Just to tell you how good it was: I went back the next dayView more

Mama C is a hidden gem that perfectly marries style & substance. The décor is chic, with elegant touches that create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. Every detail, from the lighting to the furnishings, is beautifully curated, making it a feast for the eyes before you even take a bite. As for the food, it's nothing short of exquisite. Each dish is prepared with finesse, offering flavors that are both rich & refined. From the starters to the desserts, every plate was a delightful experience, clearly crafted with care & creativity. Mama C is the kind of place where both the setting & the cuisine elevate your dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable & delicious meal in a beautifully designed space.View more

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.View more

Recently, my friends & I had the pleasure of dining at a new Greek restaurant nestled in the heart of Old Montreal, right under a famous hotel. From the moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped by the restaurant's stunning decor & vibrant atmosphere. The combination of traditional Greek elements & modern design created an inviting space that truly set the stage for an enjoyable evening. The service was top-notch throughout our visit. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, & eager to share recommendations, which added a personal touch to our dining experience. It's always nice when the staff genuinely care about making your meal memorable. As for the menu, while there were several enticing options to choose from, we did find ourselves wishing for a broader selection typical of a Greek restaurant. Unfortunately, some of the dishes we had our hearts set on were unavailable that night, which was a slight disappointment. Nonetheless, the food we did order was well-prepared & flavorful, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Greece. While we can't wait to return & explore more of the menu, we did find the prices to be on the high side, which might make frequent visits a little challenging. However, the combination of the enchanting atmosphere, attentive service, & delicious food makes it a worthwhile experience for special occasions or a delightful night out in Old Montreal. Overall, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a visit. With its charming ambiance & great service, it has all the makings of a promising new spot in the city!View more
