Bon restaurant grec avec une carte limitée (peut-être trop, manque de spécialités variées). Un peu de mal avec l'approche'plats à partager'. C'est bien d'avoir la possibilité de partager quand on vient nombreux mais à deux ça limite grandement les possibilités lorsqu'on veut gouter plusieurs plats. La décoration est soignée & le service attentionné. Je mets 4 étoiles pour les raisons mentionnées précédemment. Pas dans mon top des restaurants grecs à Montréal malheureusement.

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!
One of the best dining experience in Old Montreal. Sofia, Felix & Tio are such an amazing team & they deliver incredible service the moment you walk in & leave the restaurant. The music & interior design is very welcoming & sets the tone of a very homey & warmth establishment. The food is on the higher price range but the quality does not disappoint. Braised lamb, trempettes & their house dessert is absolutely phenomenal. A must try! Highly recommend to anyone who loves an authentic greek restaurant with quality plates & service.
Meant to go to another restaurant … we ended up at Mati & we weren't disappointed! We ordered the lamb neck, Greek salad, potatoes, & tzatziki, & every dish was delicious. The lamb neck was, without a doubt, the best I've ever had- perfectly tender & melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The seasoning was spot on, & it paired beautifully with the fresh flavors of the potatoes & creamy tzatziki. Furthermore, the service was exceptional. Our waiter was not only professional but also warm & attentive, making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect meal. Overall, Mati offers an authentic Greek dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for traditional flavors served with hospitality. I can't wait to return!
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.
Quel belle découverte. La patronne est très attentionnée. Elle vous suggère les plats & vous explique tout ce que vous voulez savoir. On a même cru qu'elle était grecque . La cuisine est excellente & sans faute. Les plats sont bien servi & copieux. Si je dois trouver un défaut ce sera sur le prix, mais quand c'est excellent on accepte sans souci. Je recommande vivement cette adresse.
