Super belle découverte à la Taverne Grecque Máti !
L'ambiance est chaleureuse, le service attentionné & la cuisine vraiment délicieuse - des saveurs grecques authentiques & généreuses.
& que dire du dessert… 🍨 la crème glacée aux baklavas était tout simplement divine ! 💙🇬🇷
Un immense merci au gérant Alexis pour sa gentillesse & son professionnalisme - ça fait toute la différence ! 🙏

The day we arrived in Montreal , we discovered this restaurant on our walk back to our hotel. We made a reservation for dinner later that evening. The dinning room is very serene.We shared several dishes, amazing stuffed grape leaves, bright salad with thinly shaved fennel & lamb chops. The whiskey sour does not disappoint. I think it was the best whiskey sour we had on our Montreal trip.There is a good selection of Greek wines as well.
We finished dinner with the Baklava Express drink & the tarte costrade. It was delicious dinner for our first night in Montreal.
Amazing food & great service, we had the best dinner. The Lamb chops were incredible.
Restaurant testé pendant l'événement Montréal à table, c'était excellent ! On cherchait depuis très longtemps un bon restaurant à Montréal, nous l'avons enfin trouvé !!! Très bon, très goûtu, bons
produits, déco raffinée, serveurs sympathiques, c'était parfait ! 🤩
Bel établissement, serveurs très attentionnés ! Tout particulièrement Ines, nous avons très bien mangé. Un peu cher, mais il vaut le détour.
Food was very good, nice cozy restaurant. It is a good place to share meals, the Spanakopita was delicious as well as the Greek Sausage! Very heartwarming.
Food was outstanding!!!! Staff explained the plate sharing concept so we adjusted our order - adding more dishes than we would normally order. So, so good!!!
I think service rating could be better if there was more enthusiasm from the servers regarding the dishes & what they are especially when there are no photos to show what these interesting dishes could be.
If opting out of imagery on the menu is the vibe, it is understandable but ensure that the enthusiasm of the servers are there to better describe & sell the dish.
Aside from that, the food we ordered tasted phenomenal. Again, had the server let us know in advance that there would be a bit of a wait time between all the other things we ordered & our pastitsio… we would've reconsidered.
Again with the whole'tipping culture' & the peer-pressuring of wanting to tip the servers. We did not feel well served but we ended up tipping anyways for the minimal'service' we had.. the refill on water twice, the clearing of our plates was faster than the food arriving on our table.
On the way out, we used the bathrooms downstairs & on our way up, the aisles between tables were so narrow that we had to wait for another server to pause taking orders from her table (despite her seeing us waiting there before she started to take the order..) so we can pass. Servers completely lacking awareness of their environment & reading the room…she did see us come up the stairs yet instead of quickly letting us pass, she began to take the order & thus leading to a really awkward pause where she had to let us pass by & we got the death glare from the man who had to wait the 3 seconds before he would order his food.
It's 3 seconds. It's not the end of the world for you okay?
We didn't see the option of the evil eye candy that others had shared which was something I sort of looked forward to as the evil-eye theme is a personal interest.
We ordered: taramasalata dip with pita, lamb chops, spanakopita, calamari, stuffed vine leaves & the pastitsio (similar to a lasagna?) - the dip was freaking phenomenal.. which made up for the lack of enthusiasm.
