Mati est largement décrite comme un restaurant grec authentique et généreux, avec une cuisine savoureuse et des plats à partager qui mettent en valeur les saveurs méditerranéennes; l'ambiance chaleureuse et élégante, le décor soigné et l'atmosphère conviviale du Vieux-Montréal renforcent l'impression générale d'une expérience mémorable; le service est fréquemment salué pour sa disponibilité et sa connaissance du menu, avec des conseils pertinents sur les plats et les vins; les plats qui reviennent le plus souvent en coups de coeur incluent l'octopus grillé, les côtelettes d'agneau, la dorade et les dips variés comme le tzatziki et l'aubergine; les desserts ou certaines créations comme le baklava dessert reçoivent aussi des éloges; beaucoup considèrent Mati comme l'une des meilleures gastronomie grecque de Montréal et font référence à l'authenticité des saveurs et à la qualité constante; quelques critiques pointent toutefois un niveau sonore parfois élevé et un bruit important, des soucis d'organisation comme une sur-réservation menant à des attentes et des tables serrées, ou des portions parfois jugées petites ou des prix élevés selon certains plats; malgré ces réserves, l'ensemble des avis converge vers une expérience globale remarquable et incite vivement à revenir pour explorer d'autres plats et profiter de l'ambiance chaleureuse.
Restaurante grego 5 estrelas em tudo. Comida excelente. Serviço amigável e especialista na comida e cultura grega. Nao deixe de experimentar o polvo e se gostar de yogurt a sobremesa é excelente.
La nourriture était excellente mais malheureusement il était impossible de discuter avec les autre convives car la musique est trop bruyante. Je n'y retournerai pas.
Visiting MÁTI in Montreal for the first time was an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone for a fantastic evening. The restaurant has a warm, upscale vibe with beautiful decor that made it feel both inviting & sophisticated. Even though we arrived without a reservation (which I highly recommend making since it gets busy), the manager was incredibly accommodating & found us a table. We were so thankful for their kindness & flexibility! Our server, Emylina, was exceptional. She guided us through the menu, ensuring we had everything we needed & making the experience smooth & enjoyable. We opted for a family-style meal to share, & it was such a fun & satisfying way to try different dishes together. We started with an appetizer from the Dips Section, choosing the KOPANISTI-a mix of feta, roasted peppers, garlic, & chili. It was the perfect way to kick off the meal, with bold flavors that paired wonderfully with the fresh bread. For our second shared course, we picked a variety of options from the Hot Starters. The LAMB CHOPS were perfectly cooked, seasoned with parsley, lemon, & EVOO, & they melted in our mouths. The SAGANAKI was a standout for me, with the kefalograviera cheese drizzled in honey & flamed with ouzo-so rich & indulgent! We also loved the SPANAKOPITA, with its flaky phyllo pastry & flavorful spinach & feta filling. By the time our third course arrived, we were already impressed, but the WHOLE CORNISH HEN from the To Share selection took things to another level. It came with lemon potatoes & charred lemon, & everything was seasoned to perfection. The chicken was tender & juicy, & the potatoes had the perfect hint of citrus. By the end, we were absolutely full & didn't have room for dessert, but I'm already planning to try some on my next visit. The service, food, & atmosphere were all top-notch, making this one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. If you're looking for a great Greek restaurant in Montreal, MÁTI should be at the top of your list!
Absolutely divine dinner, every single bite. We shared lots of appetizers. For some reason our server decided to ignore us throughout. The Manager is an expert in the dining room & tried to salvage the experience. Being busy is one thing; blatantly ignoring a table is inexcusable in the service industry. Were we too mature, too small of a group, didn't order entrées...? VERY DISAPPOINTING
This restaurant is simply a WOW place to dine! We were a team of 11 last night enjoying our Christmas dinner. Each one of us was really impressed by the outstanding quality of the food & the super cool atmosphere. Service was impeccable. Chef Nima went beyond excellency to make us enjoy expertly simmered & spiced WOW lamb & masterly cooked sea bass, while making sure before, to tease our palates with delicately crafted entrées. We ate the Custard Tart to its last crust, the Baklava Ice cream to the last smear, the Yogurt with Fruit Preserve to the last spoon. Before leaving, we were graciously indulged with Metaxa 12 stars. Who can ask for more? The concept of sharing plates really fueled our conversations (the wine helped too!) & left all of us with a renewed team spirit & a feeling of solidarity that will take us back to this restaurant. Thank you for such a WOW experience!

The easiest 5 Star review I've ever given. The absolute best Greek food we've ever had. The quality was simply off the charts good. Our server Felix was top notch & the entire staff was amazing. Bravo!
très beau restaurant, éclairage & décor très approprié avec la nourriture servie. J'ai apprécié les salles de bains très propres. Nourriture de très haute qualité & bien calibrée. On a super bien mangé avec un gaspillage minimal. Le service est très amical, & le personnel très gentil, comme en famille ! La qualité des ingrédients de base était très haute. Les morceaux de fêta fraîche & généreux ! Je voudrais y retourner, & je recommanderais le restaurant à tout le monde ! merci encore !
We went for lunch when we were walking by & I'm so glad we did! Amazing service our waiter went above & beyond. The food was next level. & the atmosphere was exceptional. We shared a bunch of plates & there is still more we would have wanted to try. Highly recommend!
Tout simplement génial! Mati vient de se hisser dans mon top des meilleurs restaurants de Montréal. Chaque plat est un délice à partager entre les convives & l'ambiance est au rendez vous. Merci pour l'accueil super chaleureux & à toute l'équipe aussi bien en salle qu'en cuisine. Je recommande à 100%.
We enjoyed the food & the ambiance, but what made the overall experience memorable & what will make us to come back is an impeccable service & the management's engagement with guests. We watched him work the room like it was a family gathering! Thank you for the great evening! Opa :)

We went for dinner at 8pm on a Saturday night. Food was excellent, we ate the loup de mer & lamb. We were four people sharing several plates. Prices were reasonable for what we ate & drank. Service was good, although the restaurant was not full & I felt the waiter took long to come back to our table. The negative part of our experience was the atmosphere. Yes the place is lovely & looks nice inside. However the music was absolutely horribly inappropriate for the vibe of the restaurant. Until about 9pm when people began leaving the restaurant the music was this nice kind of Greek lounge type. But then after 9pm it became this intense Greek euro trance type of vibe & the music was SUPER LOUD we couldn't hear ourselves speak!! Unfortunately this is what we remember when we think of our dinner that night.
This restaurant is a true gem! The modern yet cozy ambiance, paired with a fun vibe & great music, sets the perfect tone for a memorable dining experience. The Greek cuisine is delicious, & the service is exceptional. We celebrated my wife's birthday here, & Theo, the manager, & his staff went above & beyond to make our evening unforgettable. Their attention to detail & warm hospitality made us feel truly special. Highly recommended! If you're looking for a fantastic meal & outstanding service, look no further.
I don't dine out often but if every night out was like my experience at Mati I would dine out every meal. Great menu great space & truly incredible service
