Les calamars étaient trop huileux à mon goût, mais la salade était vraiment bonne & les portions généreuses. Le personnel était accueillant & très aimable, ce qui a rendu l'expérience agréable malgré ce détail. Il y'a du stationnement mais moins à midi.
Food was good, served fast even with a full house. All staff were super nice & accommodating. Only thing is that slippery floor as you walk up the stairs. Could be very dangerous for anyone with limited mobility or the elderly.
Used to come here almost weekly when my family used to live in Laval; since then, we moved & my father passed.
Came back today with my mom & the food is just as good today as 20 years ago. We also had wonderfully excellent service by Gregory - he is one of the most attentive & sweet servers I've ever had & he helped make mine & my mom's experience truly lovely. Thank you to everyone at Marathon for being a consistently excellent place to enjoy delicious food! ☺?🙏
03/05/2026 edit: came back again today & had above & beyond excellent service from Savannah. Greg also kindly came around to our table to say hi! 😊
The food, the service & atmosphere (with the hockey game playing in the background- Habs won!) is outstanding! Can't rave enough about this restaurant 🥰🙏 Thank you Marathon for consistently excellent experiences!!!
Me & my entire family have been coming here for over 20yrs & the reason is quite simple….great service, & great food! Don't ever change!
Extra note thank you for always being welcoming especially to the elderly after having an awful experience at another restaurant!

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.
