Le menu présente des interprétations novatrices de plats classiques, démontrant une approche raffinée des saveurs familières avec un accent sur les produits de saison et une préparation réfléchie.

Cet établissement est reconnu pour son approche distinctive de la cuisine méditerranéenne, invitant les clients à découvrir une fusion convaincante de goût et de style. L'engagement envers les saveurs authentiques, présentées avec une sensibilité moderne, définit le caractère unique de Mati.
Mati est largement salué comme l'une des meilleures adresses grecques du Vieux-Montréal, avec un menu majoritairement sans gluten, des ingrédients frais et des plats tels que la pieuvre, l'agneau et les mezzés, sans oublier une salade de melon d'eau qui fait l'unanimité. L'ambiance est chaleureuse et élégante, avec une vibe méditerranéenne et un cadre spacieux et lumineux qui invite au partage, et le bar ajoute à l'atmosphère conviviale. Le service est très apprécié, professionnel et attentif, et la cuisine propose des plats riches en saveurs, des dips mezzés aux plats principaux en passant par les desserts. Certaines expériences soulignent des portions peut-être plus petites ou des tarifs élevés pour leur taille, et quelques avis signalent une musique parfois trop forte ou un rythme de service soutenu; malgré cela, la plupart des visites donnent envie de revenir et recommandent Mati pour une expérience grecque authentique au Montréal historique.
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.

Best food on the planet, it's as if you're eating on a summer evening in Greece. I recommend the grilled octopus & Greek salad as well as the pork chops!! Truly, it melts in your mouth & each bite is flavourful. This is one of the best Greek restaurants in Montreal, I don't think any other place can compare. The service was awesome, staff were very kind & always engaging with us making sure our service was good. This place deserves a 5 star rating, even higher if possible
An amazing experience we had there !! From the atmosphere, food & service , everything was exceptional! The music wasn't too loud so you can talk, the decor is very cozy & tasteful & makes you feel your somewhere in Greece, the food was full of flavours, from the appetizers to the main dishes to the dessert & drinks ! We had some dips with fresh pita for starters, then had the grilled octopus , grilled shrimps to share, then had the grilled pork chops & kefta , all of it was just wow ! For cocktail you need to take Minos ! The service with charlotte & Adrian was on point even it added warmth to our first time there! I definitely recommend that restaurant & will come back there & try others items from the menu !! Montreal needs more restaurants like this one nowadays !!!
I would definitely choose the beet salad, octopus, & potatoes again. Everything was well prepared & flavorful. I also really enjoyed the red wine. The eggplant dip was quite sour more like torshi in Persian,so it may not be what you expect if you're looking for a creamy or mild eggplant dip. Saganaki was tasty ;however difficult to cut & detach it when It gets cold.
This was my third visit to Mati & every time I am blown away by the amazing quality of the food & attentive service. We shared the watermelon salad, the flambe cheeze, the grilled octopus, tzaziki with pita, the branzino & brocolinis topped with flan for dessert. Every bite was more delicious than the last, pure delight. The service was impecable & warm & the setting is beautiful. I could not resist taking home a pastitsio home for lunch tomorrow. A gem of a restaurant, can't wait to go back. Visited again on a friday afternoon for a late lunch & the
food is always divine & service excellent (thank you Charlotte)
Really enjoyed this lovely place. We came in the snowstorm & were greeted so kindly. We ate a fresh greek salad with a nice block of feta, perfectly cooked octopus, delicious grilled fennel, & a hearty greek sausage. Everything was outstanding. Highly recommended.
Enjoyed a very nice meal here. Food & service were excellent. They were able to accommodate our low salt diet, by recommending my dishes to suit. The grilled octopus was very good & the lamb'fell' off the bone & was extremely tender. Altogether a great experience!
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'
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🤍
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.
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.
Calamari appetizer was good but the octopus was great! The lamb chops were also excellent but pork chop didn't really work for us. Definitely would come back to try other offerings.
