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.

Amazing Greek spot! The food was fresh & delicious, portions are big, & the staff was so warm & friendly. Everything we ordered hit the spot. Definitely recommend & will be back!
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.
I'm actually apologize. I was too hungry to take a photo, but it was soooo good. The ingredients are fresh & the recipes are both classic & delicious. If you are already a fan of Greek food then you'll love it. If you want to explore Greek food, you'll still love it.
The food, particularly the meats, are cooked to perfection & extremely well-seasoned. The portion sizes are very generous making this a great value for your money meal. The salads are very fresh & equally abundant with huge chunks of feta. The atmosphere is festive & family-oriented, & a great place for repeat & regular visits.
