Mati offers an exceptional Greek dining experience with flavorful, well executed dishes from grilled octopus and lamb chops to sea bass and a wide range of mezze, with standout salads like watermelon and beet and a warm Mediterranean vibe in Old Montreal. The drinks program and wines pair nicely with the meals, and the service is consistently attentive, friendly and professional, though several visits mention busy hours, occasional overbooking and music that can be a bit loud. Across the board, guests praise fresh ingredients, generous sharing portions, and chef driven preparation, making Mati a top pick for Greek food lovers, while a few experiences note price or pacing as tradeoffs.
Felix was an amazing host He was very attentive, friendly & knowledgable about the food & wine selections which led to a delicious meal & unforgerable experience. Their Greek wines are outstanding which Felix was intimately familiar wih since he orders them. i'm Greek & this is the best Greek restaurant I have ever eaten at inclusing thosebin Greece. A must visit.
Excellent service -- warm, friendly waiting staff & great ambiance. Highly recommend the beet salad (seasonal) & greek sausages. Good selection of Greek wines, too.

I am Greek, so my standards are pretty high; Mati is one of the best Greek restaurants in town. Authentic food, great cocktails & wine list in a beautiful ambiance. The space is really well set up & the staff was very kind & knowledgeable. Highly recommended 🙌🧿
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).
The salad, dips & desserts were tasty. Although it's no fault of the restaurant, our shareable main (Pastitsio) wasn't to our liking (it was almost like a Greek recipe meets Shepherd's pie fusion of sorts). Our server was efficient but rather terse in demeanor. We'll try something else on the menu next time.
Outstanding food & service! This is easily some of the best Greek food in Montreal. Our waiter was incredibly kind & helpful. The taramasalata, deep-fried calamari, stuffed peppers, sea bass, & Greek sausages were all delicious, paired with great drinks. Slightly loud music, but we'll definitely be back.

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
Taverne Grecque Máti is a perfect spot for those who love Mediterranean cuisine. They serve traditional Greek flavors with an exceptional focus on freshness & quality. From appetizers to main courses, everything is in perfect harmony. I highly recommend the calamari & stuffed grape leaves. It's also a very satisfying place in terms of price-performance.

Really enjoyed this lovely place. We came in the snowstorm & were greeted so kindly. We ate a fresh greek salad with a nice block of feta, perfectly cooked octopus, delicious grilled fennel, & a hearty greek sausage. Everything was outstanding. Highly recommended.
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🤍
Loved our meal here!! When we checked into the Uville Hotel they recommended it & we decided to go & dang that was an amazing meal. We were so glad we took her up on this recommendation. We got two dips (eggplant & tzatziki), two people in my group shared a large meat dish + green beans & I got the fried eggplant dish (incredible & I'm a vegetarian so it was nice they had good options). I also got a Greek salad that we all shared. It's a great menu for sharing. Highly recommend!!

A truly upscale Greek gastronomy experience. The food menu is designed with careful consideration for taste & variety. There were a lot of options for me as a vegetarian.
I chose the lentil soup, the insalata dip & the crispy eggplants. All were truly delicious & well portioned.
At the bar, the bartender Felix is exceptional in service & hospitality with great suggestions & perfectly mixed drinks.
I would highly recommend everyone to try this place out
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.
I had the lamb chops, Greek salad, & the potatoes. Everything was delicious!! & if you're a small party, I suggest you skip the table & go hang out with Oliver at the bar. He made excellent suggestions of beverages throughout the dinner. Everything paired well with the meal that was on the way. You will not be disappointed
Taverne Grecque Mati in the Old Port of Montreal is a great spot for Greek food. The menu offers an excellent selection of classic Greek dishes, all well prepared & full of flavor. The cocktails are also very good & pair nicely with the food. The restaurant has a cozy, warm atmosphere that makes it perfect for a relaxed evening in the Old Port. Definitely worth a visit.
