Reviews describe Mati as a warm, elegant Greek dining spot in Old Montreal with a cozy Mediterranean vibe and a generous sharing menu that delivers flavorful, well balanced dishes from octopus and braised lamb neck to pork chops and a variety of dips, salads, and mezze. The food is repeatedly praised for standout items and consistent quality, with portions described as generous and adaptable for groups or dietary needs. The atmosphere and service are commonly highlighted as welcoming and attentive, with strong drink and wine recommendations, though a few comments mention overbooking, longer waits, or music that can be a touch loud.

Overall the consensus points to memorable Greek flavors, refined ambiance, and dependable hospitality, even when some visits vary on value.
Ambiance calme car nous y sommes aller en après-midi vers 14h00 alors peu de monde , il ont mit de la musique vers 16h30 pour le service du souper. Merciii pour le service vraiment agréable & professionnel.
Excellente expérience, la nourriture était vraiment délicieuse & parfaitement assaisonnée, on a tout partagé. Le service était rapide & avec la bonne cadence. Mention spéciale au plat signature du collier d'agneau & le'flan' en dessert. L'ambiance du restaurant est aussi très agréable, tamisée, pas trop bruyant & convivial.

J'aime beaucoup l'ambiance de chez Mati, de l'arrivée jusqu'à la sortie, de l'entrée jusqu'au dessert. Le personnel est attentionné &, surtout, vivement Félix qui tient les reines du bar haut la main avec son grand humanisme. Chapeau Mati 💓☀?
Première fois au restaurant ce soir; le restaurant est très beau, très belle ambiance. La nourriture est tout simplement délicieuse & on entre vraiment dans l'ambiance grecque. Le gérant connaissant très bien son menu & les vins, le personnel est très gentil. C'est une très belle découverte qu'on a eu ce soir & nous allons reveni
Merveilleux restaurant grec, dès la porte nous sommes plongés dans une ambiance méditerranéenne. Nous avons commandé le collier d'agneau braisé 24h ainsi que la pieuvre & les keftas grillés, & tout était exquis. Une cuisson parfaite, maîtrisé ainsi qu'un assaisonnement digne d'un étoilé. Je recommandent les yeux fermés, entre amis ou avec votre moitié !

C'est le meilleur restaurant que nous avons fait à Montréal, parmi plus d'une vingtaine. La nourriture est exquise & unique. Les cocktails sont exceptionnels. Charlotte est de bon conseil, c'est très agréable de marier les plats & boissons comme la vraie tradition. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & nous avons passé un super moment.
Enjoyed a very nice meal here. Food & service were excellent. They were able to accommodate our low salt diet, by recommending my dishes to suit. The grilled octopus was very good & the lamb'fell' off the bone & was extremely tender. Altogether a great experience!
The drinks, the food, the service, the ambiance, everything was truly great! Do not miss the octopus, it was the best I've had in all Montreal! Big thank you to Charlotte & Adrien who made our night this pleasant, we'll be back
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'

Nous avons choisi ce restaurant pour célébrer ma fête avec mon copain, & nous avons adoré notre expérience. Le service offert par Xavier était impeccable : attentionné, chaleureux & de très bons conseils. Il nous a fait d'excellentes suggestions de plats à partager, que nous avons vraiment appréciées.
C'était notre première visite au restaurant, mais certainement pas la dernière. Une belle ambiance, un service exceptionnel & une expérience qui donne envie de revenir sans hésiter. Nous recommandons fortement !
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.
Calamari appetizer was good but the octopus was great! The lamb chops were also excellent but pork chop didn't really work for us. Definitely would come back to try other offerings.
A warm & elegant restaurant, we had lunch here today, the food was authentic & delicious. The beet/pistachio salad was excellent & pretty. We also shared lemon roasted potatoes & one of Máti's special mains, a slow-braise lamb neck that was fork tender & fortifying. We will be back. Highly recommend.
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
My daughter booked this restaurant for her husbands birthday
I found the atmosphere nice & we weee seated at a banquette for 6
The music is clubby which is ok but when they played Zorba the Greek Theme it was great
The food overall was very good especially the taramosalata , lamb chops & shisido peppers
My daughter over ordered (daddy was paying )so we had enough for guests to take home
The only negative was the soup which was definitely missing seasoning
