About us

Designed as a natural extension of the restaurant, the café offers the same culinary signature in a more relaxed atmosphere, a fluid space where every moment of the day finds its own flavor.

Morning and Midday
From the first espresso to the midday spritz, the café comes alive with the energy of cafés from around the world, enhanced by contemporary elegance and Mediterranean charm. On the menu: specialty coffees, pastries, refined toasts, fresh bowls, salads, smoothies, and sandwiches, accompanied by a beer or a light cocktail. A gourmet and varied offering, crafted to please every palate.

Aperitivo and Evening
As night falls, the space transforms into a cozy and lively gathering place. Oysters, tartares and crudos, premium caviar, mezze, and small bites are meant to be shared alongside vibrant cocktails and Greek wines. Mini sandwiches and light snacks designed for aperitivo or dinner complete the experience, in a warm and refined ambiance that invites you to linger under the stars.

Mama C Café, accessible, refined, and full of life, becomes the ultimate Old Montreal destination to savor, from morning to night, the energy and charm of the Mediterranean.

Our server was great. The food was also good. I had salmon bowl, delish. The topped crunchy Kale was perfect. My girls had turkey bagels & chocolate cressants. They felt the cressant needed more chocolate. For Drinks, we had a wellness shot, iced Chai late & berry smoothie.
Overall great service & a lovely end to our morning at the Spa.

Mama C is definitely worth visiting. The atmosphere is lovely & the service was attentive. That said, the portion sizes felt somewhat small relative to the pricing, particularly for dishes that are typically shared. Extending the café menu hours would also be a great addition, as most people finish around 17h & would appreciate being able to order items like matcha or chai after the workday. Overall, I'd still happily come back & recommend it.
