Went here with some family, had amazing service, delicious food & overall very good experience. The Greek salad was phenomenal & so were the potatoes & the octopus.

First trip back to Montreal after many years. Stopped at Taverne Grecque Mati & was not disappointed. The service was outstanding, very attentive - from greeting at the door, seated & waited upon. Great menu suggestions & conversation with waitress. Food was amazing (still dreaming about the spanakopita). Back home in Ontario & still thinking about the food.

We have traveled all over the world to many Michelin star restaurants & I must say as a Greek, this is the best Greek food I have ever had. It is a crime this restaurant does not have a Michelin Star. The food was incredible the octopus & the lamb melted away & the dips were even incredible. The service & owner were incredibly friendly, helpful & attentive. Even their music selection was amazing. The atmosphere, service, & food were on another level. 5 stars doesn't do it justice. Highly recommend if you want an unforgettable meal.
We had an incredible experience last night at Máti. From the moment we walked in until the end, we enjoyed every bit of it. The service was top notch & the food was delicious, best Greek food I have ever ate so far & I have been to Greece. It's clear that the chef & kitchen staff take pride in their work. Can't wait to return next time I'm in Montreal.
The restaurant was noticeably understaffed, which meant the workers were very busy & often distracted. The lamb chops were tough, as the connective tissue had not been removed properly. While the tzatziki was good, it was pricier than what we encountered at other Greek restaurants. On a positive note, the interior design of the place was pleasant.

Cuisine grecque raffinée & originale, personnel très aimable, cadre moderne & épuré avec de belles hauteurs sous plafond mais beaucoup trop de bruit dû aux grandes tables dans un espace non insonorisé & le volume de la musique trop élevé, malgré nos demandes pour le diminuer. Dommage car sans cela, l'expérience aurait été vraiment top.
Food & wine selection was great. But service was quite disappointing. They overbooked their tables, which meant there was still a group eating when we arrived (on time) for our reservation. Despite having other empty tables, they made us wait at the bar for over 20min for the table to clear. This would of been perfect acceptable, if it wasn't for the fact that the bar didn't even have enough chairs for our party of 4. Finally went came the time to settle the bill, there was an error with an item ordered at the bar & it took a lot more effort than necessary to convince our waitress to verify with the bartender. Those are all small frustrations, but overall dulled down our dining experience.
Restaurant grec malheureusement que le nom de l'enseigne. manque beaucoup de spécialité, produits très bon mais malheureusement le prix beaucoup trop chère pour je genre de restaurant
