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 service -- warm, friendly waiting staff & great ambiance. Highly recommend the beet salad (seasonal) & greek sausages. Good selection of Greek wines, too.

Tous les plats étaient excellents!
La pieuvre, trempettes, la salade grecque & le bar… tous wow! Vraiment excellent du début à la fin. Très agréable, & très bel endroit! Je recommande fortement!
We had a 5-STAR experience at Taverne Grecque during a visit to Montreal this past weekend. From the warm & welcoming service provided by Charlotte to the delicious meze of shared dishes, everything was perfection!
Moi & mon amie avons adoré le restaurant ! Le design est superbe, l'ambiance générale incluant la musique est parfait, la nourriture est excellente & le personnel est très aimable. Je le recommande fortement !
I am Greek, so my standards are pretty high; Mati is one of the best Greek restaurants in town. Authentic food, great cocktails & wine list in a beautiful ambiance. The space is really well set up & the staff was very kind & knowledgeable. Highly recommended 🙌🧿
Went for a first date, we had a delicious meal with great atmosphere, & the waitress & manager were just so nice & pleasant, a great experience overall 👌
Great place for both locals & visitors! I stumble upon this restaurant while trying to show my British friend around. Great food, great service, I especially love the sharing style of the entrees, allowing us to try all the food ordered. Loved everything about here!
We've been here twice, separated by a year. Both times it was the best meal of our lives. The staff is so hospitable & warm. They are friendly & handsome & beautiful.its strange… the food sends me into a terrible depression because I realize that nothing outside of this restaurant is as good as whats inside this restaurant. I'm just out of words. Beautiful.
Nice place with a modern vibe. The food was good, but quite expensive for the size of the portions. We were 3, 2 ladies who don't eat big meals & one gentleman that was very hungry. We started with the greek salad. It was nice, with a good size chunck of feta cheese & enough to share for 3 people. The calamari was tender & crispy, we loved the yogourt sauce that came with it, but the portion was more of an appetizer size for one than a meal. The same goes with the greek sausage, just one, cut into 9 pieces. The pork chop (only 1 in the'to share' ) menu was average size, good but I could have eaten the whole thing myself. Basically, they chopped it in 6 that's why it's'shareable' The green beans were delicious, but again small.We left hungry with a $150 bill (including only 1 beer).
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!
