Food was disappointing, except the fish we had. Eggplant was watery, Greek salad had low quality olives and strange french style vinaigrette on top. Tzatziki has too much garlic. Service was however very and polite. Ambienualso good as restaurant is well designed and modern. Music was not much in my taste. Will keep trying for better tasting Greek food in town.
What guests say about Taverne Grecque Máti
Taverne Grecque Máti is highly appreciated for its flavorful Greek cuisine, cocktails, and warm, elegant atmosphere. Service is often highlighted as a major strength, with attentive staff and good recommendations, and there are several gluten-free options and shareable dishes. A few customers do mention that portions can sometimes be small, prices are high, and the music can be a bit loud at times.
Reviews / Ratings for Taverne Grecque Máti
We were visiting from Los Angeles and this was by far the best Greek restaurant we have ever been. The food was incredible and the service and atmosphere were out of this world. The staff made us feel so welcome and our server Charlotte was super sweet and efficient. Overall, just a great choice!!!
Wow! The vibe is as great as the food is excellent!
Travelling from Vancouver and we were recommended both Mati and 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 and cool Greek vibe. Get the crudo, get the octopus, get the watermelon salad.
Every bite was delicious!! Service was top tier! We will be going back again and again!!!
10/10 across the board. Can’t say enough good things about this place, i was happy enough already with the experience to begin with. But our server, Charlotte and (manager?) Adrian continued to exceed expectations at every turn. They could not have been kinder. The food was amazing and impressive. No notes!
The lamb was the best I’ve ever had — tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was amazing, with a great vibe that made the whole experience even better. The bartender, Felix, was friendly and skilled, making excellent drinks, and 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.
Food was great, service was good, but it was a little pricey.
Super cozy and warm place. The Braised lamb neck was so delicious and the sauce really elevated the perfectly cooked lamb and 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 and a slightly creamy texture with fresh and cold watermelons, but it wasn't that special and 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 and you can seat at the bar seats. I liked the experience and the bartender (I guess Felix) was a super chill and 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 (:
The food was very tasty. Unfortunately the service quality and main dish portion size did not meet our expectations, for what we were paying.
We walked by and 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 and shrimp saganaki. Kudos to Adrian and the staff for making this random lunch a special one.
Taverne Grecque Mati was an absolute highlight of our time in Old Montreal. From the moment we walked in, the ambience was warm, elegant, and inviting — the perfect balance of upscale and cozy Mediterranean charm. The food was exceptional. Every dish was fresh, beautifully prepared, and bursting with authentic Greek flavour. You can truly taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into the menu. From the appetizers to the mains, everything was memorable and perfectly seasoned. If you’re looking for incredible Greek food and a beautiful atmosphere in Old Montreal, Taverne Grecque Mati is a must-visit. We can’t wait to return!
Excellent Greek food with fresh ingredients and very good service. Good selection of Greek wines. Lovely place to sit with high ceilings. Quite pricey but really enjoyed our evening.
It was good
Simply amazing food and service. Definitely a stop I have saved to revisit again in the future!!
A beautiful restaurant with incredible food in the middle of old Montreal . A very warm dining room with incredible service. The poo chops (not even their house specialty ) was off the charts
Probably one of my favourite medium priced restaurants in Montreal. Food is tasty & authentic. Charlotte looked after us & was super friendly & efficient
Felix was an amazing host He was very attentive, friendly and knowledgable about the food and wine selections which led to a delicious meal and unforgerable experience. Their Greek wines are outstanding which Felix was intimately familiar wih since he orders them. i’m Greek and this is the best Greek restaurant I have ever eaten at inclusing thosebin Greece. A must visit.
We had a 5-STAR experience at Taverne Grecque during a visit to Montreal this past weekend. From the warm and welcoming service provided by Charlotte to the delicious meze of shared dishes, everything was perfection!
Very good and pleasant
Delicious fooddd!!!
Love everything about this restaurant and staff
Excellent service -- warm, friendly waiting staff and great ambiance. Highly recommend the beet salad (seasonal) and greek sausages. Good selection of Greek wines, too.
I love this place. Something about the vibe & energy softens my heart. Amazing food too
