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.
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
Loved the atmosphere & the braised lamb neck was incredible. I enjoyed the food here overall, it wasn't completely authentic Greek food, but still very yummy.
Excellent service du proprio & du gérant (si je ne m'abuse). Ils ont tout fait pour nous faire plaisir! Des pros du service à la clientèle. Très bonne cuisine & plusieurs cadeaux en s'asseyant au bar (shooters, etc!). Vraiment sympa. Salle à manger bruyante mais ils vont isoler pour corriger le tout sous peu. À essayer! Clientèle variée, 40+

Cuisine excellente! Vin très cher pour la qualité. Bon service mais musique très agressante. Nous y étions pour un dîner & si nous avions voulu une ambiance de bar, on serait allés dans un bar 😉
Quelle belle découverte. Tout est délicieux, l'ambiance est géniale, le décors est magnifique. Le loup de mer est incroyable, la pieuvre grillée est délicieuse, les haricots sont savoureux, les olives fraîches de qualité. Bref, un coup de circuit. Bravo pour cette belle institution! À redécouvrir sans modération.
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.
So this place is definitely better for sharing plates. Prices are old port prices, so not great, but I guess that's rent for you. Food quality was great, I haven't seen a lot of Greek places with watermelon salad which was a pleasant surprise. Pork chops were delicious & well seasoned. Baklava Martini isn't very baklava but it still makes a great cocktail. Decor is pretty, it's definitely a nice, high ceiling space. Service was a little brusque considering how much you're paying, I would expect friendlier & more formal service, especially since I was only one of two tables. Like they didn't ask me if I had any questions about the menu, explain that it was more of a place for sharing (I had to eavesdrop in on another conversation to get that), or wish me a good day at the end. You know, the basics. Food came quickly, though once again I went at a slow time.

Had my first Timeleft experience here. Delicious Greek food with wonderful flavours & textures. Portion sizes were smaller compared to the price point though.
