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. Many reviewers rate Mati as among the best Greek restaurants in Montreal and say they will return to try more dishes and cocktails, including notable drinks like a Prometheus or other Greek inspired options. Overall the consensus points to memorable Greek flavors, refined ambiance, and dependable hospitality, even when some visits vary on value.
Excellente expérience aujourd'hui (feuilles de vigne, agneau, légumes farcis, yogourt grec, flan pâtissier, crème glacée baklava, à partager entre deux adultes & deux jeunes enfants. Un sans faute. Le cadre du restaurant est très beau & très bien placé dans le Vieux Montréal. Nous recommandons!
C'était absolument délicieux! J'ai pris le spanakopita, les piments shishitos & les cotes de porc.
C'était vraiment très bon & raffiné! Je recommande fortement!
& merci à Sofia pour le service extraordinaire!

I cannot recommend this place enough. Everything from the good vibes when you walk through the door to the outstanding service provided by Sophia, & of course the insanely delicious food, blew our minds. The wine Sophia recommended was the perfect compliment to all the food. & if the entire experience was fantastic enough, we made reservations to go back so we can try the cocktails (made with liquors from Greece). This should be on everyone's list for go to dinner's. & live in the moment, don't rush your meal, sit & enjoy the sharing!
Gf lovers, only 3 items on the menu aren't friendly. The rest is completely gf naturally!
We were staying at W Montreal & I found this restaurant just around the corner in Old Montreal, after reading the online reviews we decided to head to the restaurant. Every course was so fresh & flavorful - & Felix took wonderful care of us. I highly recommend!
Truly couldn't have asked for a better experience! The food was incredible & the staff were exceptional. Our server Sofia was friendly, attentive & very professional. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we had an excellent birthday celebration. Highly recommend!
Went with my 4 girl friends. Amazing food & great atmosphere. Sophia was our waitress & she was super friendly & gave us great recommendations. Would recommend & looking forward to goinf back.

Un superbe moment chez Mati ! Le service était incroyablement accueillant, la nourriture délicieuse & les portions vraiment généreuses. L'agneau était absolument divin, & les liqueurs grecques typiques… un vrai plaisir ! Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter. 🇬🇷✨
Une expérience absolument extraordinaire. Le service avec Olivier était épatant & la présentation de la nourriture était hors paire l'agneau était de loin, le meilleur agneau qu'on a jamais mangé de notre vie. nous recommandons très fortement ce restaurant.
The food was decent but some of the dishes were over priced. The Greek salad for example was really over priced. Very small portion & nothing special about it. The octopus on the other hand was perfectly cooked & tasted amazing. We also had the Cornish Hen, highly recommended. Very juicy & perfectly seasoned.
Lovely little restaurant with a delightful staff. Accommodated our party though we had no reservation. Interesting menu, different than your typical American Greek taverna. Great ouzo, feta, olives & pork chops. Highly recommended.

Spectacular food & amazing service. We ate at the bar because we didnt make a reservation, & it was the first phenomenal bar-dining experience we had. Thank you Felix for making it such a wonderful dining experience for us! Highly recommend the Sea bass, shishito peppers, & watermelon salad!
Belle découverte au Vieux-Port! L'endroit est vraiment bien placé & les plats sont délicieux! Un gros merci à Billy pour son accueil chaleureux & son service personnalisé! Je recommande fortement!
La salade de melon d'eau & la dorade étaient fabuleuses : c'était frais, plein de saveurs, bien présentés. La sauce tzaziki accompagné de pain pita chaud : délicieux! Les vins recommandés étaient parfaits. J'ai tout aimé…à l'exception de la vue sur le chantier de la rue St-Paul. Je reviendrai assurément! Merci pour tout!
Wonderful last meal in Montreal- service was great, food was amazing! Would definitely return & highly recommend! We shared the Greek salad & the pork chop- w/veg of the day which was asparagus- all was delicious! Emylina was great! Everyone was great! Thank you!

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 ambience was very relaxing, the pillars & the ceiling were really cool!
The waiters were kind & available, especially the girl that attended us that made some exquisite cocktails!
We cannot recommend it enough!
