Au Vieux Duluth draws mixed feedback: several reviews highlight generous portions, good value, and solid dishes such as steak, seafood, authentic souvlaki, calamari gratin and the house salad, with BYOW noted and service that is often friendly or professional, while other experiences mention slow or inconsistent service, salty or bland flavors, and occasional order or side mix ups that are fixed quickly. The atmosphere is described as clean and pleasant, though seating can feel cramped during busy times, and a few encounters describe rude or inattentive staff or a disappointing experience that would discourage a return. Overall the restaurant is seen as a viable option with some standout dishes and reliable elements, but consistency and service quality vary across visits and some diners indicate they would not return.
I ordered the bakaliaro/cod with garlic mash/skordalia, which was their'special' for Greek Easter. & I wanted a Greek salad instead of house. I was served 3 small fish stick style cold cod fish, a literal scoop of mash like a school cafeteria, 5 pieces of pickled beets from a jar, & a side house salad with 3 pieces of the cheapest feta, 1 tasteless hard tomato, sliced in big chunks the green pepper sliced in big chunks with some seeds still attached, a few olives & cucumbers on top of the house salad & they charged me & additional $4.50 to replace the house salad for the special price of $37. Absolutely appalling!!!! Oh & my food was served cold. I ate because I was starving & with a big group. I should have sent it back & taken a picture. But hopefully I can stop another person from this cafeteria style meal! Brutal! Do not order, stick to their staples.
Very rude staff. They were aggressive & impolite while I was simply trying to book with them & give them business. They even hung up on me for no reason at all. I would never go back.

Unbelievably rude personnel.
Tried to reserve on the phone, & was met with a very unprofessional rude person to say the least.
Would Not go there, if it was for free.
Shame on this behaviour.
Don't respect the menu that is valid across all Québec says two free refills no mention of fountain or can only says two free refills but here you pay for a drink & only get one saying the free refills is for fountain drink only
Je souhaite offrir tout mes compliments au chef pour les mets suivants : Authentique souvlaki, Manhattan steak , calmars frits, escargots gratinés & la salade maison. Tout est extrêmement délicieux.

Très mauvais service d'une vielle snob serveuse qui se prend pour ? Service le plus lent de toute ma vie. Nourriture très ordinaire & le service encore terrible. Allez ailleurs si vous pouvez.
Always a good place for good consistent food. Shrimps, steaks, chicken, All side dishes. Everything was very good. The restaurant (Marcel-Laurin) was very busy & our table of 13 was a bit cramped, but otherwise, good. Service was fast & (almost) acurrate: out of 13 people, a burger was missing the meat (!), & a few plates has mixed ups with side dishes. Everything was fixed promptly. Very yummy desserts too. The cost of the meals were very reasonable. We will return. (Not my photo, but meal looked the same).
The place is nice & clean, the service was good with a friendly staff. The food was bland & lacked flavour. You're cooking it, might as well make it tasty.
The service is good .The food is horibble the shrimps are over cook they were even chewy shell completely stuck on shrimps they gave a half garlic butter that was half full & I think was used before the salad vinegar spill ,the chicken brochette no seasoning dirty dirty restaurant .we have done over 30 Vieux Duluth we love greek food this restaurant is a real shame .
