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 really dont understand how the rating is not higher for this restaurent! It's simply the best! I've been coming here since I was a little girl & they still have the best greek food !
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 has not changed in like 30 years - & that's a good thing. Still, for my money, the best tzatiki in town. Portions are ginormous, it's an old school Laval Greek family restaurant. Parking is a bit of a pain. Service is fine, though could do without the annoyed look when asking for modifications. Also free refills on the sift drinks would be appreciated. The pitas, salads & pikilia are all fantastic.

Always the best. The only problem is they don't serve garlic bread anymore. & I have been going there for over 42 years & I have always had garlic bread with my meal. I'm sorry but Phil would be turning over in his grave.
Le restaurant n'a probablement pas besoin de mes remerciements, car sa réputation est déjà bien établi. Quand un stationnement est plein, sa en dit long. Cela dit, je rajoute mon grain de sel: excellente nourriture, délicieuse, service poli, courtois & rapide. Une très belle expérience, merci à vous tous pour ce midi.
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 have been going to Marathon since the beginning over 4 decades Removing the original bread for pita 🫓 isn't the smartest move. The bread should be put back immediately even if the restaurant charges for it.
Pourquoi avoir changé le pain toasté avec la sauce tzatziki pour un pita? Ben voyons, c'était vraiment une de vos entrées signature!J'etais très déçue lorsque mon entrée est arrivée. J'espère que le propriétaire va revenir sur ça décision .
Toujours aussi bon mais grande déception de recevoir mon pain avec l'entrée de tzatziki celui avant était tellement meilleur. juste pour ça je ne suis pas certaine d'y revenir 😞
Bonjour, Je suis un client fidèle chez vous depuis l'ouverture du restaurant. J'ai toujours adoré le service & le repas. Je n'ai pas apprécié le changement envers les petits pain à l'ail. Ce sont les préférés de ma famille depuis des années. On comprend que le coût est chère, mais certains d'entre nous est prêt de payer 5$ de plus pour avoir cela. J'espère que vous allez considérer & le mettre dans le menu comme extra Merci
