Marathon Souvlaki in the Décarie district of Montreal, specializes in fresh, tender meat souvlakis. Marathon Souvlaki has also won an award for the best souvlaki 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 reads like a Montreal Greek staple known for fresh, flavorful food, generous portions and solid value, with the Marathon salad and tzatziki singled out as must haves and the grilled meats reliably juicy and well seasoned. The menu covers gyro, souvlaki, calamari, and pita plates, and the food often arrives hot and quick, making it a popular choice for families and casual meals. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and efficient, though a few reviews note crowding, noise, or slow moments during peak hours, and some have reported inconsistency in meat quality or salad freshness at times. Takeout is common, with generally good quality and portions, but a few diners complain about packaging or extra charges for dressing. Overall Marathon Souvlaki is seen as a dependable and affordable option for Greek cuisine in Montreal, delivering a welcoming atmosphere and reliable flavors that keep regulars coming back, even as opinions differ on certain dishes and days.
Always fresh Greek taverna style food. Wonderful staff with attentative & pompt service. Enjoyed the chicken souvlaki pita player & large gyro platter with my spouse. The honey balls with nuts - a true dessert delight to finish the night. Its busy which is good but can get loud during peak hours. Free parking & easy access off of Decarie Express Way.
I popped in looking for a decent quality gyro at a fair price. I paid $14 for a chicken pita gyro with fries & a drink. The freshness, taste & obvious attention to quality is superb. This is probably the best lunch deal anywhere in Montreal. Add free parking & the fact that it's close to Walmart, Addison Electronics & other stores & it's about as great a deal as I've come across in Montreal.

I had the chicken gyro plate which was huge & delicious, filled up on apps which is easy to do because they're equally yummy & reasonably priced while being large in serving size.
Totally amazing ,food to was to die for & we couldn't stop talking about it.I myself ordered chicken & pork souvlaki which as a combo called Stick ! They must cook on coal cause the taste was different & most probably marinated.The both meats came apart ap nicely. This is a must to eat.We were there Aug 2 , 2025 off Sources Blvd
This was my second time at this restaurant. The food is delicious, the portions are large, & the prices are fair.
I ordered the chicken sandwich with half rice & half fries, plus the marathon salad with their special sauce. Everything was tasty, & everyone was happy with their meals.
We stayed until closing, & no one rushed us to leave, which was very kind. The waitress was friendly & attentive, & the place was clean.
I highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you crave good Greek food with generous portions.
Solid Greek flavors with room to grow - Souvlaki delivers a satisfying experience.
I enjoyed the meal overall - the grilled meats were flavorful & well-cooked, especially the chicken souvlaki. The tzatziki was fresh & tangy, & the portions were generous. Service was courteous, though a bit slow during peak hours. The atmosphere is casual & welcoming, but the interior could use a bit of refreshing.
A good spot for a relaxed Greek meal, & with a few small improvements, it could be great.
Wow the quality of this restaurant went downhill, quantities of food are bad for the price, at least for takeout. The receptionist misunderstood dressing on the side with'give me an extra dressing & charge me 3$ for it'
50 bucks for a gyro pita + a chicken plate with 2 chicken sticks + marathon salad. If my wife had seen the quantity of food & the poor quality of what they called a salad, she would have never gave a 5$ tip for takeout.
I do not recommend , at least for takeout. Go buy yourself some greek food litterally anywhere else & you will be more satisfied. Felt like we were just scammed 20$ for the amount of food.

Clean establishment with a variety of choices for any appetite. Ordered chicken gyros small & large sizes within our party, enough for leftovers for later. Nice service & prices were reasonable. Wish the Greek salad had a better balance of cucumbers instead of a high percentage of tomatoes. Seemed odd to us for a Greek salad, it was more of a tomato salad. This is a return visit, dined here a couple of years ago.
I am not Greek but if there was a background people most assume I am, it's Greek. I've never been to Greece but my love for the cuisine is enough to be incredibly flattered when people think I am from the country. Marathon Souvlaki makes some truly great food. Pictured here is a souvlaki chicken pita & my tired & true beverage - ice cold ginger ale. The pair were a match made in heaven much like the people of Greece & their impeccable culinary offerings

Chicken brochette is really juicy & tasty. Big portion of salad with a generous piece of feta cheese. Highly recommended to have a great family meal with pretty fair cost value rate.
My new favourite Greek restaurant in MTL!! Portions are generous, & service was friendly, professional, & fast. Alex was fantastic! Tried the following: - calamari - big pieces :) You can taste some eggs from the batter, but overall it was tasty, & the seafood sauce wasn't overpowering - gyro - shaved pork pieces were juicy & flavourful - chicken skewer- juicy & tasty The rice was delicious, the salad was crisp & the dressing was tasty, & the fries were crispy & moist on the inside. I love the fact that as a side dish you have the option of getting all 3 items (fries, rice, & salad). So you can try all 3 without paying extra charge. The only reason they didn't get the 5th star was because they didn't have the fillet mignon available, & that's what we really wanted to eat. Also the platter doesn't come with Tzatziki sauce. Other than that it's an amazing place with reasonable prices. Definitely will come back.
$19.50 for a chicken brochette. A little pricy. Today December 15, 2023 ordered take out. Thanks for the gallon of salad dressing on my salad. With take out you would usually separate the sauce.
Great ambience. Tried out lamb chops, chicken brochettes, souvlaki, chicken pita, Greek salad, fried cheese, calamari & everything was made to perfection! They were out of filet mignon.
Staff was friendy! Food was served on time! Would definitely recommend!
One of my favourite souvlaki place to eat!
The service is excellent & really fast!
The food is amazing & fresh everytime!
The portions are phenomenal
My boyfriend & i usually take a trio of chicken pita with sides of salad marathon & fries + another chicken pita so we can share the salad & fries for 2 & it fills us up every time!
The place is always clean & the servers are really nice! :)
