Marathon Souvlaki in Chomedey, Laval (a few steps away from La Récréathèque) specializes in fresh, tender meat souvlakis. Marathon Souvlaki has also won an award for the best souvlaki awarded by the Gazette. There are a choice between pork, lamb, chicken or even vegetarian souvlaki. Other dishes are also available at Marathon Souvlaki.
Marathon Souvlaki is widely praised for flavorful Greek cuisine, generous portions, and good value whether dining in or ordering takeout. The meat is described as well cooked on the grill, with standout tzatziki, fresh salads, and a house dressing that many find delicious. Service is generally fast and friendly, contributing to a lively, family friendly atmosphere, though a few reviews note it can be noisy or busy and occasionally service slows down. Some comments mention changes to the bread, extra charges for tzatziki, or variability between visits, but overall the food remains fresh, satisfying, and consistently high quality. The restaurant is seen as a go-to for authentic Greek staples and has a longstanding reputation as a reliable favorite in the area.
We ordered from this restaurant today. The plates we got were soooo good. Generous portions, great prices. The quality of food was amazing. Enough tzatziki sauce on our pitas. & the salads, wow. Tomato slices big & juicy. Enough dressing. Delivery time was good too. Will definitely order from there again! Thank you for making delicious food!
5 stars still don't seem to make this place enough justice. I have been going occasionally to this restaurant for about 2 years now & it just never disappoints. It is a very fair price considering the amazing quality of food they offer, the service is always top notch & not just from the waiter! The hostesses, the buss boys, I'm not sure if the people on the side of the main door are cooks but even them! you can tell everyone puts love & effort into bringing a good experience for the customers! The waiter that has served me the most so far I unfortunately do not know his name but he is the sweetest, most attentive waiter ever!! But I really have nothing bad to say about any of the staff, the waiter with the tattoos is super nice as well, the waiter with the great hair I know you know who you are ahahah you are awesome as well!! I won't forget to mention the girls at the cash whenever I decide to go express, always a smile on their face & super sweet as well, anyway!! Top notch staff, top notch food would recommend 1000000%

Consistently delicious & quality food. The menu has a decent variety of protein choices (mainly chicken, beef, lamb/pork, & calamari). Fast & friendly service, busy atmosphere. Recommend reservations for large groups, the place fills up fast.
Went on a dinner date to this location during the holidays & although the booths are somewhat cramped, decor is well done services excellent & food quality is top-notch authentic Greek. Chicken souvlaki, taramasalata & tzatziki are awesome. Was not impressed with their fries, store bought frozen crinkle cut… which is why they only got 4 stars. Otherwise, incredible experience. Tarama was so good it didn't make it to the picture :-D
EDIT The prices have gone up from 12,75$ to 20$ for the souvlaki pita plate & the quality has downgraded. Tiny piece of feta (today it was 2mm thick) less vinaigrette sauce, less black olives, etc even the candy at the end. We used to come often but we cannot afford to come as often & we now share a plate & buy a second pita. .......... This is our comfort food. Delicious greek food, affordable (which is rare nowadays) & quick service. I always have the souvlaki (pork) plate with Marathon salad & half & half (rice/potatoes). If you prefer to have the greek salad, the tomatoes are so fresh & tasty, you won't be disappointed. The only downsides to the Laval location are the parking (very limited) & the A/C is too cold (we're always freezing).
I'm not sure how yo rate it, I didn't find anything special about this place. Price was high for the quality of food they served. Setting it nice for sure

I've said this a million times about this resto. . The price, quality, taste, & speed of the service is unmatched. with these crazy times in increase of prices everywhere, this place has barely gone up in price & the portions are still really good. Service with a smile, very outgoing & so speedy Always packed, expect to wait 20min , but the experience is worth it I recommend the loose meat gyro with he marathon salad Delicious!!
Great staff! Warm atmosphere! Quality food at an affordable price! A place for the whole family run by Family! I love the Gyro, kids love the chicken souvlaki & the loose gyro plate. Dips are Awesome! Cozy dining hall with friendly staff. You can order take-out or delivery as well.
Big let down. Grew up in the area & this was the go to place for Greek. The food was sub par & nothing tasted like it used to be. Rush rush place the food on a plate & serve the customer. It's about volume now at this their first family run & owned restaurant. I could not believe it. I left over most of my food as it was it even tasty & the protein in the souvlakis we ordered had fat in it as well. Can't believe they are still doing (lots) of business. Have people lost their taste buds or don't know any better & what happened to the lovely family that used to work the line & cook amazing food What is going on here that the dollar supersedes quality & taste etc. Anyway much better places to eat like Greektown grill.

Do not spend your money here.
They don't appreciate their clients. The food quality has declined a lot over the years, & they do not do anything to keep their clientele.
Spend your money elsewhere. You will thank me.
