Véritable attrait touristique montréalais, la gigantesque boule orange du Restaurant Gibeau Orange est un lieu de rencontre familial où savourer un bon jus d'orange.
Gibeau Orange Julep est décrit comme emblématique et divertissant, avec la gigantesque orange et la boisson Orange Julep, crémeuse et mousseuse, souvent considérée comme la vedette de l'expérience. Les critiques louent le jus pour sa douceur rafraîchissante et son caractère distinctif, bien que certains le trouvent trop sucré ou trop laitier, et certains estiment que le goût peut varier selon les lots. Le menu associe des plats rapides classiques comme hot dogs, poutine et burgers au fameux jus d'orange, et les portions ainsi que la qualité varient selon les visites, certains plats étant appréciés et d'autres critiqués comme excessivement chers pour de la restauration rapide. Le stationnement est facile et l'endroit offre une ambiance détendue et nostalgique, surtout dehors par beau temps, mais les places assises à l'intérieur sont limitées et l'espace peut sembler bondé ou touristique. Dans l'ensemble, c'est une visite incontournable à Montréal pour le jus d'orange et l'ambiance emblématique, avec des avis tranchés sur la valeur et la constance selon ce qui est commandé.
A very iconic spot in Montreal which is a must-visit. We went there on a Saturday night & obviously it was packed. Very different vibe there.
Many vegetarian options in the menu. Food was good overall. We went for a grilled cheese, vegetarian burger (both combos) & a veggie pogo. Liked all three. Fries were good. O-Juice was nice but felt a bit sugary than sour. Portions were good & it didn't feel heavy. All their meals are given in takeout brown bags - no trays, plates etc.
They don't have any indoor seating options but there are standing counters. There are a couple of benches outside if the weather permits. Many folks just got the food to their cars & ate them there.
Staff was nice. Given it was our first time, we had a few questions which they answered well.
Plenty of parking outside.
Definitely recommended.
I guess just an iconic place in the city. the food is very average & the famous juice is underwhelming.
I was very disappointed by the food & juice . But the service was good. & i guess it's a nice place to hangout with friends if you just want to stay out in the parking lot .
What, you're not going to go to the giant orange ball on the most terrible boulevard in Montreal ? Of course you will.
Sure the flagship product, a frothy orange beverage, will cost you two months salary for a litre but what the hey-ho, it's only once a year that you have to battle off the seagulls & wasps as they swoop down to steal your fries & your blood.
Gibeau Orange Julep is an absolute must-visit spot in Montreal! The atmosphere is incredibly unique with that iconic giant orange structure-it feels like stepping back in time. Their signature Orange Julep drink is creamy, refreshing, & unlike anything else I've ever tasted. You also have to try the poutine; the fries are perfectly crispy & the gravy is rich & flavorful. It's the perfect place for classic comfort food & a fun retro vibe. I can't wait to go back!

Gibeau Orange Julep is a must-visit, & it absolutely lives up to its reputation. The orange drink is the star - perfectly sweet, creamy, & incredibly refreshing. It has that classic nostalgic flavour you can't find anywhere else, & it's worth the visit alone.
The poutine was also very satisfying: crispy fries, generous cheese curds, & a rich, flavourful gravy that ties everything together. It's comforting, classic Quebec fast food done right.
Add in the fun atmosphere & the famous giant orange, & you've got a uniquely Montreal experience. Whether you're a local or visiting for the first time, Orange Julep is always a great stop.
Tried it mainly to see what all the hype was about. I only had the orange juice & honestly it tasted overly sweet-more sugar than orange. When everything is loaded with sugar & sauces, it's bound to taste okay, but this wasn't for me. The juice was very small for almost $5, which felt overpriced. The exterior design is definitely interesting & iconic, & service was quick & friendly. Glad I checked it off the list, but I wouldn't go back.
At 5. UberEats. Hot dog. Poutine. Shake. Hot dog is huge but stale. Poutine sauce is too thick & fries cold n soggy. Shake had black flakes but will cross fingers its from the seeds

Fantastic flavors & great quality across the board. The orange drink had a unique twist that honestly stole the show.
Service: 5/5
Fast, smooth, & friendly - the staff kept everything moving like a well-oiled machine.
Atmosphere: 3/5
Winter didn't help the vibe. The merch was cool, but the interior felt a bit plain this time around. Excited to see how things look in the summer, so I'll update when I return.
Overall:
A satisfying & enjoyable experience with tasty food, refreshing drinks, & very welcoming staff.
It is really good experienced to enjoy fresh squeeze oranges juice. It is worth to enjoy while going montreal . Even my friends tried poutine which was classic poutine ( vegetarian)
The Orange Julep is too sweet for some people but it's a wonderful thirst-quenching treat for everyone else. Their fries are fantastic & worth every penny as well as every calorie! The rest of their food isn't quite as awesome as their fries but you won't be disappointed. If you have the late night munchies or you're just craving comfort food at 3am, the Orange Julep will satisfy your needs!
Came expecting the best freshly squeezed orange juice, tastes more like a few melted orange creamsicles or Orange Julius, not amazing worth the visit to see the orange.
Service was fast & friendly, only issue with the atmosphere is the slightly dirty washrooms when I came
The freshly squeezed orange juice was ok. The food we weren't impressed. Just regular fast food but good to try. Service was friendly & nice. It was bit pricey though for a fast food.
This gigantic orange orb is such a vibe. I wish there were more locations, they would do so well. Great chill spot, the property is so big - there's lots of space to enjoy your food & OJ with friends/family. Note, the famous orange julep is not like a sour orange juice, it's more like an orange creamsicle (highly addictive lol). Definitely a sweet treat with the amount of sugar in it, but oh well live a little & make sure you have some!
