Review Summary

Reviews describe Mati as a warm, intimate Greek restaurant in Old Montreal where the food and hospitality frequently shine. The menu emphasizes sharing, with standout dishes including octopus, lamb chops, stuffed grape leaves, dips, and salads that many call unforgettable. The octopus is repeatedly singled out as life changing and the dips and salads are praised for balance and freshness. Service is consistently described as attentive and personable, with staff offering great recommendations and thoughtful wine or cocktail pairings. The atmosphere is warm and refined, though a few observers note that the space can be noisy and that nights can feel rushed when the restaurant is crowded. Prices are sometimes noted as high for portions, and a handful of visits mention overbooking or slower pacing, but overall the dining experience is described as exceptional. The sharing format and overall Mediterranean Greek flavors are highlighted as authentic and satisfying, making Mati a standout destination in the Old Port.

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 !!!

Merveilleux restaurant grec, dès la porte nous sommes plongés dans une ambiance méditerranéenne. Nous avons commandé le collier d'agneau braisé 24h ainsi que la pieuvre & les keftas grillés, & tout était exquis. Une cuisson parfaite, maîtrisé ainsi qu'un assaisonnement digne d'un étoilé. Je recommandent les yeux fermés, entre amis ou avec votre moitié !

C'est le meilleur restaurant que nous avons fait à Montréal, parmi plus d'une vingtaine. La nourriture est exquise & unique. Les cocktails sont exceptionnels. Charlotte est de bon conseil, c'est très agréable de marier les plats & boissons comme la vraie tradition. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & nous avons passé un super moment.

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.

I went for my birthday - we were a group of 6 & everyone loved it. The food was out of this world, it reminded me of my time in Crete. The cocktail I tried was also on point. Service was good & I even got a birthday dessert which was a nice touch. The space is beautiful & tastefully designed with a light airy minimal Mediterranean aesthetic
I would definitely go back!

I would love to be able to recommend Mati - the food is fantastic & service is very good. But one aspect was so unpleasant that I need to mention: the loud music.
We went for an early dinner (6 pm, not party time), & music playing at that time was just on the verge of being too loud. It was was interesting music & no too intrusive at that point. Mid way through our dinner, they started playing loud, pulsing lounge music, inappropriate to the enjoyment of a good meal in good company. I eventually mentioned it to the staff & they turned it down 10 mins later.
My preference is for music that contributes to a good, warm, comfy atmosphere, so unfortunately, I don't plan to be back.

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!

Excellent restaurant! The staff particularly Sophia were brilliant & the menu catered perfectly with almost every option being already gluten free for the coeliac in our group. The baklava espresso martini was a highlight. Definitely purchase the saganaki it was an absolute show stopper!

Lors de notre dernière visite, nous étions un groupe de sept personnes & nous avons été Séduit par la nourriture, servie par le restaurant. Aliments frais, nouvelle palette, découvertes, Des repas qui sont différents de la normale, nous avons réellement adoré l'endroit. De plus, nous avons eu un service exceptionnel & nous tenons à souligner le service de madame Emylina , Qui était constamment à nos petits soins, & qui s'assurait en tout temps que tous les personnes sur la table soient bel & bien servies, & qu'il y ait toujours de l'eau dans nos verres, ce qui est très rare de nos jours. En résumé un restaurant que nous recommandons fortement pour une soirée entre garçons avec un service exceptionnel & une nourriture fraîche & excellente.
