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.
Gibeau Orange Julep is a great spot for a quick & satisfying bite. I got poutine & the Orange Julep drink was refreshing. Since there's no indoor seating, you have to enjoy your food outside at picnic tables or in your car. Fortunately, the weather was on our side, so dining outside was pleasant. The place stays busy, even during non-peak hours, & it's open from early morning until late at night, making it a convenient option for late-night cravings. While the prices can add up, it's still a worthwhile stop for a quick & tasty meal.

If you're in Montreal, you have to try the Orange Julep. It's the best one I've ever had. The drink has a perfect mix of orange & vanilla flavors that taste amazing together. It's a must-visit spot if you're in the area!
Been wanting for a while to see what the hype was all about & ended up being quite disappointed. We went around 1pm in the week service was not too long. We can't see the menu very well however.. the price was crazy 50$ plus tips for one hot dog trio & one burger trio... the only thing that was really good were the homemade fries in the poutine. Their famous drink mainly tastes like sugared juice not very vanilla.. maybe my expectations were too high. The big orange ball which is the building is truly the highlight but I don't think Ill be going again.
Julep beverage is a good treat , still 6.80$ with taxes ..... But a hot dog at 5.15$+tx = almost 6$ Seriously, you have to be really creative to sell a a hot at this price. This is not the Bell Centre. 13.81 $ for a hot dog & a medium size Julep Plus , I 'm asked to leave a tip on top of this for a counter pick up & eat my food outside with 5 wasps chasing me. My opinion is that this is over rated. Once in a decade wad enough.

Ça toujours été mon go-to, mais ils ont changé les saucisses pour les plus grosses. C'est pas la même chose un steamé avec une grosse saucisse... bien déçue. J'espère que c'est par ce qu'ils ont reçu une mauvaise commande & que c'est temporaire :(
I'm trying not to let the conditions of Montreal affect my review. The roads surrounding Orange Julep make it rather difficult to enter the parking lot. However, Orange Julep itself is awesome. Nice spacious parking lot, cool building, nice staff, delicious food. Was surprised to see their "pogo dog" is a literal pogo branded dog.
l'un des endroits populaires incontournables à visiter à Montréal. Jus d'orange est tres bon & tres unique one of the popular must-see places in Montreal. Orange juice is very good & very unique
