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 .

Gibeau Orange Julep is such a fun & iconic spot in Montréal. The giant orange building is unique & their famous orange drink is definitely worth trying!
If you're visiting Montréal, you should also explore beautiful places like Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal & relax at Beaver Lake on Mount Royal.
Also nearby on Jean-Talon, I recommend Tastybits for delicious Indian-Italian style pizza. Great food & a nice stop after exploring the city!
Getting a taste of Montreal history at the giant orange! 🍊✨
You can't say you've truly experienced the city until you've pulled up to Gibeau Orange Julep. Since 1932, this iconic 40-foot concrete orange has been serving up its legendary, creamy secret-recipe juice that tastes like a marshmallow cloud in a cup. ☁?🥤
Whether you're here for the vintage vibes, the classic poutine, or just to marvel at one of the world's quirkiest roadside attractions, it's a Montreal rite of passage. Pro tip: It's even better at sunset when the sphere starts to glow! 🌅

Visited the iconic Orange Julep-what a perfect way to end our trip before heading back to Toronto! Our hotel had free breakfast, but we had a terrible experience there, so I was really excited to come here. I actually visited with my family back in 2004 with my dad's car club-I was only 4, so memories are fuzzy, but I've always wanted to return.
We tried the hot dog, poutine, & of course the famous orange juice, & everything was absolutely perfect. Truly a nostalgic & delicious experience that already makes me miss Montreal!
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.

I don't think it was amazing, it's overall okay but a bit overpriced perhaps due to how it's supposedly famous & iconic.
There is zero seating inside, which is odd considering how much parking space there is. A few standing tables but it can be a bit of a squeeze & it's dim & not a very nice sit down place.
I think it mainly serves as a takeaway place.
The food wasn't fantastic either, it was alright but didn't blow our minds or whatever.
I haven't been here in probably over 20 years & I don't think I'll ever go back. Sure the place is iconic, you can see the giant orange as you fly into Montreal, & I believe it should stay there forever. But the fact that it's some greasy restaurant, that is not only overpriced, very overpriced, but the food is also quite bad & the service is as well. Do yourself a favor, pass by to check it out, if you really want to try their special orange juice, try it out but there are so many amazing places to eat in Montreal, I'm not sure why anyone would go here.
Orange Julep is an absolute staple in Montreal & truly iconic! The poutine & veggie hot dog are amazing full of flavor & perfectly satisfying. The orange juice is fresh & refreshing, & the service is always friendly & efficient. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this spot is a must-try for its delicious food & nostalgic charm. Highly recommend!
I gotta chance to try this Montreal iconic place :) the poutine was really really good, I was impressed! The fries were not too soft & I liked it that way. Besides, I also tried the orange juice. Quite new taste for me lol but overall, best poutine so far. Unfortunately :( I did not have a chance to visit the inside. it is def worth the try while visiting Montreal.
