Review Summary

Gibeau Orange Julep is widely regarded as an iconic Montreal landmark, primarily celebrated for its unique giant orange architecture and its legendary, creamy signature orange drink. Many visitors find the atmosphere nostalgic and retro, often enjoying the lively environment where car and bike enthusiasts frequently gather. While the signature beverage is a major draw for its distinct, sweet, and creamy flavor profile, opinions on the food are mixed; some patrons praise the hot dogs and poutine as classic comfort food, while others find the menu overpriced and the quality inconsistent. Service is generally described as efficient and quick, though experiences with staff friendliness vary. Despite some criticisms regarding high prices and the presence of wildlife in outdoor eating areas, the establishment remains a must visit destination for those seeking a quintessential Montreal experience.

Leur fameux jus d'orange Julep est vraiment excellent. Ça vaut le détour. Au moins pour essayer. L'endroit est kitsch & situé dans un secteur affreux, mais ça fait partie de l'expérience.

This place was easily the worst fast food establishment I've ever visited in CANADA. For one, the prices for simple menu items are incredibly high & absurdly overpriced for what you get- a tiny hot dog, a undressed dry burger, &'fries' that are actually just fried scraps of potatoes. Second, the server we had was extremely rude the entire we were ordering, & when we asked for a cup for taking our ice cream to-go, he said no & told us we would need to pay for one (after spending over $60 on four items). Lastly, the food was honestly terrible & you are better off going to the McDonalds across the street

Une friterie comme les autres a un prix exorbitant pour ce que tu as. Personellement, j'ai trouvé leurs jus spécial ben ordinaire & très sucré. Pas certain que ça vaut le détour...

Très bon, la nourriture est fraîche! Une institution à Montréal! Il y a plusieurs tables a l'exterieur, beaucoup de monde & de la musique franco en ambiance 🥰 Un must!
& il faut gouter le jus avec la nourriture, sinon vous manquez quelque chose
