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 perçu comme un emblème de Montréal, avec sa gigantesque orange et une ambiance rétro qui donne l impression de remonter le temps; le jus d orange crémeux est l attraction principale, souvent loué comme unique et parfois comme le meilleur jus jamais goûté, mais plusieurs avis le trouvent trop sucré et parfois au prix fort. La nourriture accompagne le jus, avec des poutines et des hot dogs qui peuvent être excellents et généreux ou simplement corrects et trop chers pour la qualité; le rapport qualité prix est fréquemment pointé du doigt et certains considèrent que l aspect touristique prend le dessus sur l expérience culinaire. L endroit se veut accessible et familial, avec un grand stationnement et des espaces extérieurs, mais les places assises peuvent manquer et l ambiance varie selon le moment. En définitive c est une étape incontournable pour vivre une tranche de Montréal et son patrimoine, plus qu un repas gourmet, apprécié pour son cadre nostalgique et le charme de l orange Julep, tout en laissant certains visiteurs sur leur faim côté nourriture.
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
Food: 5/5
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!
Orange Julep. If you were wondering if you went to the right spot just look for the massive orange sphere! Orange Julep gives you a classic old time feel to it. You know it's a classic when you pull up on a Saturday at 5:30 pm & there is a full parking lot with cars. The service was really good especially with our slight language barrier. I purchased the large Orange Julep which ran me just under $12 CAD. watching 10 gallons of this stuff get purchased before I got up to order seemed like a good sign... Unfortunately I didn't think it was very good. It tastes like below average orange juice mixed with some below average milk. It was fine enough to drink 3/4 of it so I wasn't just throwing $12 down the drain but I did struggle to throw it back. A friend of mine ordered an Orange Julep & requested ice cream to go in his, & I must say if you come here that is definitely the way to go. With ice cream you deliver a milkshake type drink with a refreshing orange essence to it. Lastly, another friend got Hot Dogs & Fries & the Hot Dogs looked very good & he claims tasted just as good so if you want some quick'snack bar' food this may be the place for you. Overall it was a fun experience & fun environment & I'm glad I went. Make sure you get ice cream in your Orange Julep!
