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.

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!

Olivier gave great service & conversation! The chef, Arash, cooked the entire meal during the weekend shift- we were so impressed with the food quality & speed! The candies at the end were such a treat, but the seafood dishes are their speciality :)
Olivier was an incredible server! Enjoyed our conversation throughout the entire meal. Specifically, the octopus & baklava ice cream are to die for. Cocktails good too!
I had the lamb chops, Greek salad, & the potatoes. Everything was delicious!! & if you're a small party, I suggest you skip the table & go hang out with Oliver at the bar. He made excellent suggestions of beverages throughout the dinner. Everything paired well with the meal that was on the way. You will not be disappointed
Taverne Grecque Mati in the Old Port of Montreal is a great spot for Greek food. The menu offers an excellent selection of classic Greek dishes, all well prepared & full of flavor. The cocktails are also very good & pair nicely with the food. The restaurant has a cozy, warm atmosphere that makes it perfect for a relaxed evening in the Old Port. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely place, very good food & nice server - but not impressed with the owners overbooking & then rushing us through a rare night out. My wife & I looked forward to this special birthday dinner & the first thing that was said to us when we walked in the door for a 7:00 reservation was'you have until 8:30 p.m. with the table'. That set the stage for rushing through the dinner. We waited for the courses, had to rush the dinner & then they had our table stripped 1 minute after we got up. Although the food was very good & nice atmosphere - having a timer on an expensive dinner tarnishes the experience.
My daughter booked this restaurant for her husbands birthday
I found the atmosphere nice & we weee seated at a banquette for 6
The music is clubby which is ok but when they played Zorba the Greek Theme it was great
The food overall was very good especially the taramosalata , lamb chops & shisido peppers
My daughter over ordered (daddy was paying )so we had enough for guests to take home
The only negative was the soup which was definitely missing seasoning

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!

Expérience exceptionnelle, à commencer par l'accueil chalereux, & le service impéccable de Sofia, Adrian & Félix.
La nourriture est une des meilleures que j'ai eu la chance de manger dernièrement, & les portions étaient généreuses.
C'est définitivement un must!
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.
