I would love to be able to recommend Mati - the food is fantastic & service is very good. But one aspect was so unpleasant that I need to mention: the loud music.
We went for an early dinner (6 pm, not party time), & music playing at that time was just on the verge of being too loud. It was was interesting music & no too intrusive at that point. Mid way through our dinner, they started playing loud, pulsing lounge music, inappropriate to the enjoyment of a good meal in good company. I eventually mentioned it to the staff & they turned it down 10 mins later.
My preference is for music that contributes to a good, warm, comfy atmosphere, so unfortunately, I don't plan to be back.

Very excellent experience here! Food was seriously amazing, highly recommended the pork chops! They exceeded expectations! Atmosphere was very pleasant, although personally we felt like the music was a little too loud. But Sofia was an amazing server, very friendly, & accommodating! Would definitely come back here again! 🙏❤?

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

We have traveled all over the world to many Michelin star restaurants & I must say as a Greek, this is the best Greek food I have ever had. It is a crime this restaurant does not have a Michelin Star. The food was incredible the octopus & the lamb melted away & the dips were even incredible. The service & owner were incredibly friendly, helpful & attentive. Even their music selection was amazing. The atmosphere, service, & food were on another level. 5 stars doesn't do it justice. Highly recommend if you want an unforgettable meal.

Everything was lovely. The only improvement would be to seriously reduce the volume of the music. It was very hard to have a conversation.

One of the best dining experience in Old Montreal. Sofia, Felix & Tio are such an amazing team & they deliver incredible service the moment you walk in & leave the restaurant. The music & interior design is very welcoming & sets the tone of a very homey & warmth establishment. The food is on the higher price range but the quality does not disappoint. Braised lamb, trempettes & their house dessert is absolutely phenomenal. A must try! Highly recommend to anyone who loves an authentic greek restaurant with quality plates & service.

The restaurant was very disappointing. If you know Greek cuisine & Greek hospitality, you will unfortunately not find any of that in this restaurant. Firstly, you are greeted by extremely loud music, so that after 15 minutes you feel stressed & overstimulated, you cannot have a normal conversation, you basically have to shout loudly. There is also a strange guy (waiter/menager) who hops from table to table & tries to entertain people "artificially". Almost like a grasshopper. Apart from that, you wait a long time (1 hour) for the food & you don't get anything that can help you pass the time. The main menu was very disappointing, for the high price you get a small portion of meat. You have to order potatoes with it, & salad too. The potatoes were swimming in fat, were not salted & a little burnt. The tea there is called chai, but is served with two tea bags. The waitress forgot to offer the sugar. We were really angry that we chose this restaurant.

We went for dinner at 8pm on a Saturday night. Food was excellent, we ate the loup de mer & lamb. We were four people sharing several plates. Prices were reasonable for what we ate & drank. Service was good, although the restaurant was not full & I felt the waiter took long to come back to our table. The negative part of our experience was the atmosphere. Yes the place is lovely & looks nice inside. However the music was absolutely horribly inappropriate for the vibe of the restaurant. Until about 9pm when people began leaving the restaurant the music was this nice kind of Greek lounge type. But then after 9pm it became this intense Greek euro trance type of vibe & the music was SUPER LOUD we couldn't hear ourselves speak!! Unfortunately this is what we remember when we think of our dinner that night.

This restaurant is a true gem! The modern yet cozy ambiance, paired with a fun vibe & great music, sets the perfect tone for a memorable dining experience. The Greek cuisine is delicious, & the service is exceptional. We celebrated my wife's birthday here, & Theo, the manager, & his staff went above & beyond to make our evening unforgettable. Their attention to detail & warm hospitality made us feel truly special. Highly recommended! If you're looking for a fantastic meal & outstanding service, look no further.

We had 2 shared plates, a hot plate, a dip & a dessert for 2 people & we were definitely full! Everything was delicious, well cooked & presented. I recommend the lamb neck, Gemista. The dip we had with feta & pita was also really good! The vibe is Mediterranean chill with soft ivory walls & chill music. I would go again to try other plates.
