Mati offers an exceptional Greek dining experience with flavorful, well executed dishes from grilled octopus and lamb chops to sea bass and a wide range of mezze, with standout salads like watermelon and beet and a warm Mediterranean vibe in Old Montreal. The drinks program and wines pair nicely with the meals, and the service is consistently attentive, friendly and professional, though several visits mention busy hours, occasional overbooking and music that can be a bit loud. Across the board, guests praise fresh ingredients, generous sharing portions, and chef driven preparation, making Mati a top pick for Greek food lovers, while a few experiences note price or pacing as tradeoffs.
Excellent restaurant! The staff particularly Sophia were brilliant & the menu catered perfectly with almost every option being already gluten free for the coeliac in our group. The baklava espresso martini was a highlight. Definitely purchase the saganaki it was an absolute show stopper!
Lors de notre dernière visite, nous étions un groupe de sept personnes & nous avons été Séduit par la nourriture, servie par le restaurant. Aliments frais, nouvelle palette, découvertes, Des repas qui sont différents de la normale, nous avons réellement adoré l'endroit. De plus, nous avons eu un service exceptionnel & nous tenons à souligner le service de madame Emylina , Qui était constamment à nos petits soins, & qui s'assurait en tout temps que tous les personnes sur la table soient bel & bien servies, & qu'il y ait toujours de l'eau dans nos verres, ce qui est très rare de nos jours. En résumé un restaurant que nous recommandons fortement pour une soirée entre garçons avec un service exceptionnel & une nourriture fraîche & excellente.
The drinks, the food, the service, the ambiance, everything was truly great! Do not miss the octopus, it was the best I've had in all Montreal! Big thank you to Charlotte & Adrien who made our night this pleasant, we'll be back
Food had so much flavor. All the meat was cooked to perfection grilled octopus! AMAZING WOULD COME BACK we had the Greek salad to start, which was very good & then we also had the fried calamari which is also crispy & flavorful with a side of tzatziki dip, which is incredible. Glad the first restaurant was full! The lamb chops were cooked perfection! Finishing her off with a nice espresso very very pleased. I'

& encore une belle adresse à Montréal …. On a vraiment adorer cette adresse & nous étions un beau groupe & ils ont réussi à contenter toute notre équipe … merci à vous
Nous avons choisi ce restaurant pour célébrer ma fête avec mon copain, & nous avons adoré notre expérience. Le service offert par Xavier était impeccable : attentionné, chaleureux & de très bons conseils. Il nous a fait d'excellentes suggestions de plats à partager, que nous avons vraiment appréciées.
C'était notre première visite au restaurant, mais certainement pas la dernière. Une belle ambiance, un service exceptionnel & une expérience qui donne envie de revenir sans hésiter. Nous recommandons fortement !
Amazing, authentic Greek restaurant! The service, food & drinks were incredible. We had the lamb chops, octopus, & Mediterranean sea bass everything was unreal. Honestly, the food was to die for🤍
Loved our meal here!! When we checked into the Uville Hotel they recommended it & we decided to go & dang that was an amazing meal. We were so glad we took her up on this recommendation. We got two dips (eggplant & tzatziki), two people in my group shared a large meat dish + green beans & I got the fried eggplant dish (incredible & I'm a vegetarian so it was nice they had good options). I also got a Greek salad that we all shared. It's a great menu for sharing. Highly recommend!!

Service horrible, la serveuse nous regardait comme si nous étions des parasites. Elle a finalement été remplacée par un homme plutôt charmant, mais le sentiment désagréable est resté. De plus, la plupart des plats ne valent pas leur prix, c'est de l'arnaque pure & simple.
I was just up in the city over New Years & had such a nice time dining at Taverne. It was a cold night & the atmosphere couldn't have been more warm & inviting. Our server Sofia was amazing, she gave us great tips on the menu & we worked our way through all the courses & selections. Everything was delicious & the beet salad & octopus were best ever conversations for me.
The food was amazing. No words on the flavors on the food. We ordered for the table we where 6 people & everyone where impressed on how good the food was.

A truly upscale Greek gastronomy experience. The food menu is designed with careful consideration for taste & variety. There were a lot of options for me as a vegetarian.
I chose the lentil soup, the insalata dip & the crispy eggplants. All were truly delicious & well portioned.
At the bar, the bartender Felix is exceptional in service & hospitality with great suggestions & perfectly mixed drinks.
I would highly recommend everyone to try this place out
This was one of my favourite Greek restaurants in the Montreal - the old manager Billy was great !! However, we left really disappointed our last time. The portion & quality of their dishes have really decreased. The lamb chops were very small, the saganaki was not properly cooked (tasted purely of ouzo) & the octopus was really disappointing in size. It didn't feel like the same restaurant it was a couple of months ago… I will say - service was great & Charlotte was amazing.
Terrible ! The worst service ever ! I've been to many parts of the world, I've visited hundreds of restaurants, some good, others not so good, & this one is in a class of its own-terribly bad. The service attitude is awful. The food is bad, & the atmosphere is ruined by the terrible & rude service; they have no idea about customer service.
