Marathon Souvlaki in Dollard-des-Ormeaux specializes in fresh, tender meat souvlakis. Marathon Souvlaki has also won an award for the best souvlaki by the Gazette. There are a choice between pork, lamb, chicken or even vegetarian souvlaki. Other dishes are also available at Marathon Souvlaki.
Overall, Marathon Souvlaki is described as a reliable casual Greek spot with generous portions, good value, and consistently tasty dishes like calamari, chicken souvlaki, pork gyro, and the signature Marathon salad, with frequent praise for fast service and friendly staff. The dining options work well for both takeout and sit-down meals, and many reviews highlight the lively, busy atmosphere that makes it a popular go-to, especially in the West Island locations. While the food is largely celebrated, there are occasional critiques about busy or noisy hours, occasional slower or uneven service, and rare notes about changes in portion size or other quirks such as charges for sauces or being asked to wrap up after paying. Still, these are outweighed by repeated recommendations and the sense that Marathon Souvlaki offers dependable, flavorful Greek fare at generous portions and reasonable prices, making it a staple for regulars and newcomers alike.
I have been eating at Marathon Souvlaki for many many years. They started in Chomedey Laval where I lived as a child. The restaurant was small but it had the family, home cooking feel.
The same goes for the location in Dollard-des-Ormeaux. Although it is a bit noisy during the lunch hour, the food is just as delicious as when I was a child. The Pork Gyro is by far, the best in the city. You Must try it.
The lunch specials are amazing. So worth the money. Portions are huge where I had leftovers for dinner.
Service was exceptional. If I could choose more that 5 stars I would.
Will I go back? Absolutely 💯.

First time at Marathon, & it won't be my last! The food was fresh, tasty, & perfectly prepared. The service was great; if I could give 6 stars for service, I would. Thomas was fantastic- attentive, friendly, & made the whole experience even better. The only small downside was that it was a bit loud for me, but the atmosphere just shows how popular it is.
Can't wait to come back!
Free mall parking. I come all the time just for the Marathon salad for over a decade now. The plates are huge so the'small' plates are enough for most people. The place is always busy, but the service remains friendly & efficient. My niece loves fried calamari & says this place has the best one.
