It was so good that I ate lunch & dinner there the same day. Highlights Greek salad, octopus & lamb with the potatoes & of course our sever charlotte!!
We started with the calamari served with aioli, & it was outstanding. The aioli had a perfectly balanced flavor that complemented the crispy, perfectly cooked calamari.
We also tried the pork, which was incredibly well marinated. The seasoning had great depth, & the meat was tender with an excellent texture.
The octopus was definitely the highlight of the meal. It was cooked to perfection, tender, flavorful, & beautifully balanced. Easily one of the best octopus dishes I've had.
Overall, every dish was thoughtfully prepared with great attention to flavor & balance. Highly recommend this place
The Taverne Grecque Máti is in the top 3 restaurants I've ever been to. We were there tonight for dinner & everything was perfect.
We started with the watermelon salad with Feta, pistachio, honey. It was refreshing & the perfect start to the dinner on a warm day.
Then we had the Lemon Roasted Potatoes, the Brocolini, Fried Calamari with Tzatziki, lemon, the Grilled Octopus with Caper, red onion, lemon. For dessert we had the Greek Custard Tart & the Baklava.
The service was excellent. The octopus was my favourite as it was grilled but perfectly cooked & still tender. We also really enjoyed the perfectly cooked calamary. The watermelon salad was also a highlight. The food was beautifully presented as well.
Our 5 dishes & 2 desserts came to about $175 + tip. I highly recommend this restaurant. You won't be disappointed.

Grilled octopus & cocktails are really nice, but the highlight was the service. Felix, the bartender, made sure I was taken care of for the whole time, really made a solo dinner more enjoyable!
Travelling from Vancouver & we were recommended both Mati & another high end Greek restaurant. I'm so glad we settled on Mati. This was our most favourite evening of our stay in Old Montreal. Almost everything on the menu is or can be gluten free. Our server, Charlotte, was fabulous as were the support staff, all of whom joined to sing Happy Birthday to our guest of honour. Having been to Greece, you would think you're in an authentic Greek restaurant with an energetic atmosphere & cool Greek vibe. Get the crudo, get the octopus, get the watermelon salad.
The lamb was the best I've ever had - tender, flavorful, & cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was amazing, with a great vibe that made the whole experience even better. The bartender, Felix, was friendly & skilled, making excellent drinks, & the chef Arash, truly delivered an unforgettable meal. Everything from the food to the service was top tier. I highly recommend the octopus as an appetizer.
Super cozy & warm place. The Braised lamb neck was so delicious & the sauce really elevated the perfectly cooked lamb & took it to another level. The Octopus also tasted good with a subtle touch of acid in the sauce. We also liked the watermelon salad, mainly the combination of feta & a slightly creamy texture with fresh & cold watermelons, but it wasn't that special & given the price you may consider sth else. But given that its refreshing it could be interesting as an apetizer.
They have a really nice bar & you can seat at the bar seats. I liked the experience & the bartender (I guess Felix) was a super chill & talented guy. I took a martini cocktail which I liked but it really depends on your taste.
Notes: There are some items that you can share (such as the lamb neck that we took). But don't expect a very large portion (:
We walked by & decided to have a spontaneous lunch here. Everything from the atmosphere to the service to the food was absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommend the grilled octopus, Greek salad & shrimp saganaki. Kudos to Adrian & the staff for making this random lunch a special one.
We loved everything about our dinner at Máti. We are still talking about the grilled octopus, the lamb chops & the crudo a day later. Great atmosphere & drinks as well, & the staff was very friendly. We'll be back for sure!
What a fantastic place!!! Our 1st time & by far the best Greek food I ever had. The staff is helpful, super friendly, & very professional. We were a family of 5, we choose the seabass, pork chops, vine leaves, calamari, roasted potatoes, grilled octopus, green beans. Everything was excellent, well seasoned, & cooked to perfection, so so delicious. We also had the ice cream & the custard. It was amazing! I highly recommend it.
