Tout simplement génial! Mati vient de se hisser dans mon top des meilleurs restaurants de Montréal. Chaque plat est un délice à partager entre les convives & l'ambiance est au rendez vous. Merci pour l'accueil super chaleureux & à toute l'équipe aussi bien en salle qu'en cuisine. Je recommande à 100%.

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.
Amazing service, great staff, the owner really made us feel at home with a big smile & delicious food would definitely recommend it. It was my birthday & I could say it's one of the best birthday diners I've had, cozy but classy environment
Great food! Must try the watermelon salad & the dips!! I wouldn't recommend getting the Hen dish. The staff were very kind, the place is a bit small & crowded & very very loud. But overall a very great experience
Excellent food & service. We had pita bread with feta cheese, green beans with shallots & pumpkin seeds, & a huge pastitsio - enough to take home for dinner the next day. Highly recommend.
Lovely place with high ceiling & modern authentic set up. Octopus, fish, dips, roasted Potato were all outstanding. Lovely crew, greeter, & service was really warm & excellent. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing evening at Mati. It started out when the hostess answered some of our questions while we perused the menu from the sidewalk. Manager/Maître D', Theo was incredibly welcoming & helpful as well. Our waiter, Zack was excellent, in spite of this only being his second shift. The food & wine was excellent, the service impeccable, & topping it all off, we enjoyed a shot of house made digestif with Theo. Highly recommend the lamb chops, when offered, & don't miss the baklava ice cream for dessert! We will be back!

Ate dinner with my wife & two kids (7 & 11) Fantastic service. Felix was on top of things. & the manager was also very attentive, warm, & welcoming. The fish my family shared was delicious & the watermelon salad was one of the best dishes we'd had in a long time. They gave the kids complimentary baklava ice cream! I highly recommend this place.
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.
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.
Great atmosphere, friendly & welcoming service & excellent food. Definitely recommend it. A must go restaurant in Montreal. Going again with more friends.
