Pas gêné de l'avouer, Marathon est mon restaurant préféré. La meilleure nourriture grecque ! Tout est délectable. De la vinaigre de la salade, au riz, aux gyros porc, au service salle à manger ou take-out, etc. Allez-y les yeux fermés !!!
Always loved Marathon but recently had & not only was the meat dry, the portion size seems to have gotten smaller as well. Shame because it has been very good in the past…but at these prices these days, not worth the money.

Take out, I ordered calamari with rice. Rice was going bad, because they're keeping days old rice & serving it to customers. When I called to ask for another plate, they told me it's either 10$ credit for next time I order or nothing. I will not order from this place ever. Be cautious with your take out orders.
Waitress brought the plate & asked,'Do you want anything else, ketchup? Mayo? Tzatziki?' Yeah sure you can bring me some Tzatziki. & they end up charging you for the sauce. I think not letting the client know that there's an extra charge for the sauce is unethical. I didn't really want the sauce but since the waitress asked along with mayo & ketchup, you really think it is offered for free. I have no issues paying, but LET THE CLIENT KNOW THAT THIS IS AN EXTRA.
I've been going to this restaurant for over 10 years, & it has never disappointed.
The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, & authentic across all the locations I've visited. It's one of those places you can always count on for a satisfying meal.
The prices are also very reasonable-our family of five can enjoy a full meal without feeling like we've spent an entire paycheck, which is rare these days.
The service is another highlight. The staff is always calm, friendly, & welcoming, which makes the overall experience even more enjoyable.
A reliable go-to spot for great food, good value, & a relaxed dining experience. Highly recommended!
On y a été poir un dîner de retraite. Serveur très sympathique, on est resté un bon 2h00 & personne est venu nois dire de partir. Très belle ambiance & la nourriture très bonne.
I hadn't been here for over 15 years, but not only is the food still legendary, they are just as kind & welcoming as I remember. The pork gyro is one of the best things you will ever eat!! Nut allergy friendly too :)
Tout était fabuleux! La nourriture est excellente, sérieux on est allez au souvlaki bar de Terrebonne il y a une semaine & c'était tellement pas mangeable, donc j'avais vraiment besoin de faire réconcilier avec la bouffe grecque & WOW! Mission réussie! En plus pour le dessert j'avais trop oublié de dire à la serveuse que je ne tolère pas la canelle au cas où & il y en avait sur le dessert. Aucun problème elle a repris & m'en a amené un autre Subito Presto merci beaucoup!
