Gibeau Orange Julep is described as iconic and fun, with the giant orange building and the creamy, frothy orange julep that many say is the star of the experience. Reviewers praise the juice as refreshingly sweet and distinctive, though a few find it overly sugary or milky in texture, and some say the taste can vary by batch. The menu blends classic fast food such as hot dogs, poutine, and burgers with the famous orange drink, and portions and quality are uneven across visits, with some dishes praised and others criticized as overpriced for fast food. Parking is easy and the venue has a relaxed, nostalgic atmosphere, especially outdoors on sunny days, yet seating inside is limited and the space can feel crowded or touristy. Overall it remains a Montreal must for the orange juice and the iconic vibe, with strong opinions about value and consistency depending on what is ordered.
Overall, The Orange Julep is a staple in Montreal, & when arriving- you must have a classic Julep - an experience like no other. Asides from that, I really wouldn't recommend this spot more than a one time thing. The prices are abit exaggerated. For example, for 2 Small Poutines w. Juleps.. it was 40$ without tip. One time thing..

21$ pour un hot dog, une poutine & un julep. C'est pas mauvais, mais ça vaut pas ça. La poutine a bon goût, mais le fromage est tout fondu. Le hot dog a une belle grosse saucisse.
La poutine était excellente, service assez rapide pour un samedi soir. Trop cher selon moi, 18$ avant taxes pour une "grosse" poutine, que je qualifierais de grosseur normale. En plus, on essaye de vous "tip shamer", ce n'est pas un service aux tables, on commande au comptoir.
They used to have my favorite poutine, but now the fries are undercooked & the cheese isn't squeaky. The prices are crazy: 5$×tax for a hot dog! 20$×tax for a trio! Paid 70$ to feed 2 adults & 2 little kids. The only reason I'd go back is if I ever have a julep craving.

Très cher ne vaut pas la peine 27$ pour grande poutine & jus moyen En plus il y a rien dedans l'orange juste un kiosque pas vraiment d'effort. Inflation est très fort dans cette cantine mais c'était toujours comme ça tristement 😔

Really cool drive in style eatery. They have ample seating with lots of benches around the orange. Not too much covered seating though. Their hot dogs were delicious with a nice buttery toasted & lots of toppings. Poutine was classic large squeaky cheese curds with nice crispy fries. Their orange drink was interesting reminiscent of orange julius but smoother & you can taste the pulp in it so it has real ingredients in it! Definitely a staple of montreal.
First time trying this place, & it was quite the experience. The julip has to be the best orange drink I've ever had-I'm dying to know their secret! The poutine was solid, but the fries alone could use a bit more salt. Overall, it's such a cool spot, & I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Montreal.
Good place to stop for a quick bite to eat. We got hot dogs & poutine, as well as corn dogs & chicken nuggets for the kids. All dressed hot dogs were good. The orange julep is similar to an Orange Julius (hopefully no one is offended by that comparison!) There is no indoor seating so you need to eat outside at picnic tables or in your car. It was nice outside so we were able to eat outside. The place was constantly busy, even at a non-peak time, & the place is open early & closes late (I can see it being good for late-night eats). The items can add up, so it's not the cheapest meal, but that's true of most places now.
A Montreal institution. It's literally a landmark. The orange beverage it built its name on is delicious. The food is as good as you can expect from a greasy spoon. Poutine is a must, & the hot dogs are tops. My only complaint is the price. $27 with tip for a trio is pretty steep. As a matter of fact, it's ridiculous, & that's why I only go once every couple of years.

28$ pour une poutine extra cheese & je le cherche encore. J'ose pas savoir si y du fromage pour la régulière 🤷♂️. De plus 4,50 pour un extra sauce😬. Crisse y mette quoi ds la sauce pour charger ça. J'aurais dû le prendre cette extra, parce que Poutine sec en TA. Bref, endroit overated x1000!!! Ha oui j'oubliai, il pleuvait hier & le toit coulait. Plein de chaudière par terre?! J'espère que ça coule pas aussi ds la cuisine 😬🤢
Our go to for my fiancee & I for a late night meal. We pretty much always take the same things (double cheeseburgers, poutine, onion rings & orange juice) & we're always satisfied with our food. Highly recommended fast food take out!
Le jus d'orange est trop sucré & a un gout artificiel à la vanille, Poutine pas top, il existe beaucoup mieux & moins cher. Cher pour ce genre de restaurant 50$ (2 Jus d'orange & 2 poutines) !! Pas trop propre!! 4/10
