Cocktails & appetizers were good. Service was diligent & explained the menus well. The music was loud & the orzo bland.View more

La décoration de Mama C est exceptionnelle & correspond aux standards du Vieux-Port, c'est-à-dire moderne & presque luxueux. La musique est agréable en arrière-fond. La nourriture goûter par mes invités étaient exceptionnelles. Lorsque des clients vous reviennent avec cette mention, c'est excellent pour notre entreprise. Enfin, le professionnalisme des serveuses était à la hauteur & le manager (ou propriétaire) était un passionné avec un effort fait pour nous servir en français. Somme toute, le restaurant est exceptionnel. Je le recommande pour des rencontres professionnelles.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 The waiters even withdrawn the fishbones!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

The food was good but the waitress was a little weird & too much. If she asked if something was good, she had to wait to see that you tried it first, like literally ate the food or drank the drink. That's odd. Additionally, I put that I was celebrating my birthday on the reservation & nothing was done to celebrate it. So, I'm extremely bummed about that.View more

Nous avons fêté l'anniversaire d'une amie chez Mama C & ce fut une belle expérience !
Dès notre arrivée, la déco m'a vraiment impressionnée : chaque détail a été pensé avec soin, que ce soient les petites fleurs délicates sur chaque table ou la carte soigneusement présentée avec l'addition. Un véritable travail minutieux de la personne derrière ces petites touches. L'ambiance & la musique, choisies avec goût, complètent l'atmosphère chaleureuse & conviviale du resto.
Pour l'occasion, nous avons eu un prix de groupe à 150 $ par personne. Même si les portions d'entrées étaient modestes, chaque bouchée était un délice. Elles étaient si savoureuses que j'aurais bien aimé en avoir davantage, mais en partageant, nous avons eu l'opportunité de goûter à chacun des plats & de manger à notre faim tout en appréciant une grande variété de mets tout au long des différents services.
Honnêtement, je ne comprends pas les commentaires négatifs : Mama C mérite amplement ces 5 étoiles ! Merci pour cette magnifique découverte qui a rendu la soirée d'anniversaire de notre amie inoubliable, & un petit clin d'oeil à la personne qui a pensé aux petits détails :) . En tant qu'entrepreneure, je crois qu'il est important de souligner les réussites & d'encourager ces entreprises locales qui mettent toute leur énergie, leur passion & leur coeur dans ce qu'elles font. Ce restaurant incarne parfaitement l'amour du travail bien fait!
Merci encore !View more

**🌟 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!*View more

We had a fantastic time at Mama C! We sat at the bar, & the service was outstanding. Antony & Francis took excellent care of us, making sure our drinks were always full & that we had everything we needed. The ambience was warm & inviting, & the crowd added to the great energy of the place. Whether you're looking for a relaxed evening or a lively atmosphere, Mama C delivers. Highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar-you won't be disappointed!View more

I had the pleasure of dining at Mama C, & everything about the experience was fantastic. From the warm & inviting ambiance to the delicious food & excellent service, it was clear that a lot of care went into every detail. The menu offers a great selection, & every dish we tried was well-prepared & full of flavor.
One thing that really stood out was how understanding the staff was. With the heavy snowfall & winter conditions, finding parking nearby was a challenge, which unfortunately made us late for our reservation. When we called to let them know, they were incredibly kind & accommodating-something you don't always experience at other places that might give you a hard time in that situation.
Overall, Mama C is a great addition to the city's dining scene, & I'll definitely be back!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

Was excited to go here for a friend's birthday. Upon arrival, the Host was unkind & made us feel unwelcome. Service was kind but a bit slow on drinks. Tables around us got sparklers to celebrate birthdays but we were not given anything.
Was looking forward to a celebration that everyone raves about but it left a bad taste in our mouth. Probably won't return.View more
