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.
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!
Group of 3. Dinner at 530ish. Right from walking in the door greeted immediately. Seated. Water to table. Service is amazing. We all ordered the chicken souvlaki platter. 2 with 1 skewer, 1 with 2 skewers. Was a big plate of food that comes with rice, potatoes & salad. All the ingredients were fresh. Highly recommend this place if you are in Laval & have a craving for Greek Food. 3 ate very well for $70 including tip.

I've been coming here for years & always have a great experience. The owners are super friendly, the staff is nice & helpful, & the food is really tasty. Definitly a place I'd recommend if you want good Greek food & a relaxed vibe.
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%
Fantastic experience! Chris's big smile & the super attentive service set the tone. The souvlaki was super delicious, the place was super clean, & the Greek music was superb. Highly recommend!

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.
Un des meilleurs endroits pour savoir la bonne & vrai cuisine grecque, service d'or, qualité de nourriture 5 étoiles, & surtout niveau de qualité prix, c'est un des points fort de ce resto.
J'écris rarement des avis car j'écris seulement un avis quand c'est la perfection. Se soir, j'ai manger au marathon & c'était la perfection !! TOUT était tellement bon. Notre serveuse, Nicky, est une vrai perle. Très bon service & nourriture excellente. Je recommande fortement !

Great Greek Chicken Gyro plate with delicious Marathon Salad & crispy fries. You cannot go wrong with a Large plate of Chicken Gyro. Good portion of chicken.
I highly recommend!!!
Amazing restaurant. We had our son's birthday+ family thanksgiving there & Katherina was amazing & she was so patient with kids. Thank you for being incredibly helpful. Highly recommend this place.
This place is so amazing. The staff is super friendly, the place is very clean & the food is incredible. Coming from someone who's greek herself, this is authentic Greek food & tastes so delicious. The meat melts on your tongue & the Calamari is a 10/10. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for great greek food.

Great experience for a work function at this place. My plate was absolutely packed & our server Jimmy took excellent care of our group. Would recommend.
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!!
Les plats pour emporter n'ont pas la même qualité que ce qui est offert en salle à dîner. Pour ma part j'aime beaucoup les bâtons de poulet. J'ai obtenu des bâtons de poulet calcinés à 2 reprises. Je ne les recommande pas.
