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.
Went here with some family, had amazing service, delicious food & overall very good experience. The Greek salad was phenomenal & so were the potatoes & the octopus.
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.

The staff is really nice. The beet salad, the octopus & the loukaniko was really good. Definitely recommend. The calamari was very chewy tho & didn't like it, the sauce was good. Overall a good experience
Extremely delicious food & great service! All the dishes we tried were super flavoursome, & the grilled octopus, fish, & grilled pork chops were very tender & juicy. Cosy yet lively atmosphere - would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting vieux montreal!
Wonderful spot, great food, the octopus was tender & cooked perfectly. The formula has several plates to share. Everything we tried was great. Attentive service. The restaurant itself has a minimal vibe. Would easily return.
Can you imagine how amazing a five-star restaurant would be? A world-class chef, outstanding service… You have to try the octopus - wow, it's so delicious. Definitely five stars!

Wow!!! I really loved everything about Mati! My friend & I recently celebrated our 50th birthday here , & the food, drinks & hospitality were impeccable! The braised lamb neck was so tender & wonderfully flavoured, & the grilled octopus was so delicious that we ate it all before I even thought to take a photo, but it was so good I really wanted to order another. I would have if I wasn't so full! Also, shout out to the green beans, roasted potatoes & tzatziki. They were all delicious as well.
The Prometheus cocktail was an absolute showstopper with the flaming garnish, & the entire cocktail menu was really thoughtful & interesting.
Thank you for a wonderfully memorable evening. We will definitely be returning to Mati & recommending it to all our friends!
This is probably one of the best Greek cuisines I've had in a long time. The service was impeccable, the food tasted out of this world, & the ambiance was very inviting. Highly recommend this place when you visit old Montreal. We ordered the grilled octopus, the beet salad, & the Brezina fish. Oh my God, nothing was dry & everything tasted superb.
We had an amazing at Máti. We had the Greek salad, pastitsio, octopus, calamari & more. Everything was flavourful & authentic-each dish was a real taste of Greece! The portions were perfect for sharing, & the cozy atmosphere is great for groups. The drinks were spot-on, & the service was friendly. Highly recommended!

Greek dining at its finest! The phenomenal, rich flavors of the pork chop & grilled octopus were only matched by the VIP service.Kudos to manager Theo for a job very well done!!
Great addition to the old port restaurant scene! Amazing service & interior. Absolutely loved the food, so fresh & tasty. - The watermelon salad is so fresh & needed on a summer night. Tatziki & oven baked potatoes are really good too. - The branzino was yummy & well seasoned. - The lamb neck melts in your mouth, must have if you like lamb. - Finally we adored the grilled octopus, the best one i tried in a long time. It was cooked perfectly & juicy. 10/10. I highly recommend the place.
The place is newly open. I find it worth trying. We ordered the fish as a main dish, octopus & watermelon with feta cheese as an appetiser. My favourite was the watermelon with feta & pistachio the blend of flavours was perfect.
