A beautiful restaurant with incredible food in the middle of old Montreal . A very warm dining room with incredible service. The poo chops (not even their house specialty ) was off the charts
Nice place with a modern vibe. The food was good, but quite expensive for the size of the portions. We were 3, 2 ladies who don't eat big meals & one gentleman that was very hungry. We started with the greek salad. It was nice, with a good size chunck of feta cheese & enough to share for 3 people. The calamari was tender & crispy, we loved the yogourt sauce that came with it, but the portion was more of an appetizer size for one than a meal. The same goes with the greek sausage, just one, cut into 9 pieces. The pork chop (only 1 in the'to share' ) menu was average size, good but I could have eaten the whole thing myself. Basically, they chopped it in 6 that's why it's'shareable' The green beans were delicious, but again small.We left hungry with a $150 bill (including only 1 beer).
We loved everything about our dinner at Máti. We are still talking about the grilled octopus, the lamb chops & the crudo a day later. Great atmosphere & drinks as well, & the staff was very friendly. We'll be back for sure!

What a fantastic place!!! Our 1st time & by far the best Greek food I ever had. The staff is helpful, super friendly, & very professional. We were a family of 5, we choose the seabass, pork chops, vine leaves, calamari, roasted potatoes, grilled octopus, green beans. Everything was excellent, well seasoned, & cooked to perfection, so so delicious. We also had the ice cream & the custard. It was amazing! I highly recommend it.
Best food on the planet, it's as if you're eating on a summer evening in Greece. I recommend the grilled octopus & Greek salad as well as the pork chops!! Truly, it melts in your mouth & each bite is flavourful. This is one of the best Greek restaurants in Montreal, I don't think any other place can compare. The service was awesome, staff were very kind & always engaging with us making sure our service was good. This place deserves a 5 star rating, even higher if possible
An amazing experience we had there !! From the atmosphere, food & service , everything was exceptional! The music wasn't too loud so you can talk, the decor is very cozy & tasteful & makes you feel your somewhere in Greece, the food was full of flavours, from the appetizers to the main dishes to the dessert & drinks ! We had some dips with fresh pita for starters, then had the grilled octopus , grilled shrimps to share, then had the grilled pork chops & kefta , all of it was just wow ! For cocktail you need to take Minos ! The service with charlotte & Adrian was on point even it added warmth to our first time there! I definitely recommend that restaurant & will come back there & try others items from the menu !! Montreal needs more restaurants like this one nowadays !!!
Food had so much flavor. All the meat was cooked to perfection grilled octopus! AMAZING WOULD COME BACK we had the Greek salad to start, which was very good & then we also had the fried calamari which is also crispy & flavorful with a side of tzatziki dip, which is incredible. Glad the first restaurant was full! The lamb chops were cooked perfection! Finishing her off with a nice espresso very very pleased. I'
Amazing, authentic Greek restaurant! The service, food & drinks were incredible. We had the lamb chops, octopus, & Mediterranean sea bass everything was unreal. Honestly, the food was to die for🤍
This was one of my favourite Greek restaurants in the Montreal - the old manager Billy was great !! However, we left really disappointed our last time. The portion & quality of their dishes have really decreased. The lamb chops were very small, the saganaki was not properly cooked (tasted purely of ouzo) & the octopus was really disappointing in size. It didn't feel like the same restaurant it was a couple of months ago… I will say - service was great & Charlotte was amazing.
