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.
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.
Overrated place, too sugar & expensive. Cashier is very aggressive. Wasted my money buy orange add milk & sugar make it at home for 2$ Totally disappointed

This is a historical drive in style restaurant that dates back decades where servers were going to your car with roller skates & bringing trays of food like that of the old A&W drive in that still exists in the USA. With the original owners out of the picture, current ownership has done a good job to not compromise on quality - though they have also not been shy on their pricing either!!!! This being stated there is nothing like starting the summer off with the roof down in the car, eating an orange julep, a nice fresh crisp French fry, & a grilled hot dog. This is one of the best places to go for hot dog, French fries & flat top hamburgers. Other foods are also good but it's the classics that most people enjoy. It's quite nostalgic. Even to date, visit OJ on a Wednesday evening & all the motor-heads come & show off their cars & motorcycle to admiring eyes it's a blast from the past. This is a must for a tourist & a must for all locals to start their summer.
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.
i love the drinks!! next time i come back im gonna definitely try the food but damn all these years passing by here & i never knew the drinks were that good!!
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.
