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.

I've been here twice now & both times I've had amazing times. The first time I came with friends & was surprised by how good value the food was for how nice the food is, how beautifully it's decorated, & the amazing service. The second time I came with family for my birthday & had an incredible time- Melissa was so kind & made it very special. The food & coffee were also great. Would definitely recommend!

Tick Tok brought me to Mama C on a slushy grey Friday afternoon in the old port. (March 20th) The decor is absolutely beautiful! I appreciated the very warm & cozy atmosphere to catch up on some emails. I especially loved seeing all the real tropical plants that made me feel like I was on vacation. The menu is simple but reasonably priced & the coffee was delicious. Major props to my waiter Théo who was absolutely delightful, kind & highly efficient! It was his service that brought me back later in the day with my partner for a second meal. Definitely recommend.

Very cute café that's lives to the hype that may be seen through social media. Served by Mélissa who made our experience all the more enjoyable by being friendly & very accommodating!

Went for lunch, service was fast & very delicious. Despite arriving near closing hour, I did not feel rushed at all. Would recommend, s'il go again. Thank you Mélissa ❤?

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.

The service is honestly questionable, people who got in were greeted before reaching the desk. Me & my friend walked to their desk & I had to repeat myself twice saying Bonjour to get a greeting back when our presence is visibly noticeable. I could feel a weird energy from the waiters trying so hard to smile around our table which you can tell is fake. I like the food, it was good. The place is lovely. But not sure I'd recommend specially if you're visibly a different religion.

Food was delicious, so was the cappuccino. Service is a bit slow & forgetful, didn't end up receiving some of the items we ordered. Great atmosphere/vibe. Recommend the ham sandwich & salmon bagel.

We had an amazing experience at Mama C for breakfast. Everything was delicious & the service was attentive & friendly. Our server Melissa was great. Would highly recommend this place for breakfast/brunch. The options on the menu for later in the day looked amazing too!

Was skeptical because of the mixed reviews, but definitely happy to have come!! Will be coming back in the future! Came at around 12:10pm & by 12:25pm we had our food already. Though, if you come after noon it does tend to get quite busy, so plan accordingly!

Service: 5/5 our waiter was amazing, & came to check up on us a few times!

Food: 4/5 got the bacon & egg sandwich, it was delicious. Sadly the coffee was alright, I recommend getting the hot latte as it tasted good! (I personally got an iced drink, & my friend got the latte)

Atmosphere: 5/5 absolutely stunning interior!!!
