Wowww , what an amazing tasting food, gyro chicken is outstanding, portions are generous & price is fair. Thank you for the kind service as well. Not pushy. Merci beaucoup, c'était incroyablement bon. On revient bientôt c'est sur! Jerome & Camila
Food is always consistent & service is always quick & friendly. Honestly some of the best calamari I've had - even though it's a bit pricey the portion is very generous. Marathon salad is a must have
Always fresh & delicious! Marathon Souvlaki never disappoints. The food is fresh, portions are generous, & the flavors are authentic. Service is quick & friendly too. One of my go-to spots!

The Souvlaki Greek Restaurant delivers consistently good, flavorful food in a relaxed & welcoming atmosphere. It's not an elite or fine-dining destination, but it doesn't pretend to be - & that's part of its charm. The souvlaki is well-seasoned, the portions are generous, & the quality is reliable. Service is friendly & efficient, making it a great choice for an easy, enjoyable meal. A dependable spot for satisfying Greek cuisine without the fuss.
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.
For her good service, her patience & the advice she provided us, our waitress deserves a pay raise. She was sweet & efficient. Congrats on hiring good workers!
The food is what brings the score down. The meat was chewy & slightly burned. There was wayyyy too much tzatziki on the pitas, although the tzatziki was very tasty(coming from a sauce girl like me, this means something). The fries had no taste at all. The Greek salad was essentially tomatoes with oil, a couple of cucumbers & two olives. The fish dip… run. But I'm not a fish fan, so don't take my word for it.
The portions are very generous, which compensate slightly for the prices & the quality.
Overall alright experience, although very mid. I probably won't come here again. Props on parking though! It's nice to have easy parking spaces in Montreal.
The portion sizes here are very generous - they really fill your plate, which I appreciate! 😁However, not everything on the menu is great🙈. I tried one dish before that wasn't very tasty🥲, but on my next visit I ordered something different & it was absolutely delicious😍. Overall, it's a good restaurant & worth trying.😋🩵

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.
Marathon's has been around for a very long time. Deservedly so, as they have kept they food quality & great taste along with generous portions. My personal favorite is their loose meat pork gyro plate, with half & half fries & crispy golden potatoes. It comes with delicious rice & their marathon salad topped with their famous dressing. Mix the salad with some of the meat for a delicious treat. The service is friendly & I'm surprised every time how fast their dishes come out. Marathon's is true staple of Greek food in Montreal. You can't go wrong.
We came in with only 30 minutes left & the waiters were very considerate & efficient, we got to order & receive our meals quickly.
The portions are generous & the prices are reasonable for what you get. The souvlaki pork gyro was incredible, the meat was juicy & full of taste. I noticed that you could also order food to go at the counter, there were many different sizes of containers to choose from. Definitely a nice place to go to if you're nearby.
Food is always delicious & portion are generous. Service is fantastic, they helped with my mother who has mobility issues. Baklava cheese cake is to die for!

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.
The food was delicious , generous portions & the waiter Jhon made us laugh alot . 5 star service . I was not impressed with my Greek salad . I had about 20 big slices of tomatoes, two tiny peices of cucumber , white onion instead of red , ONE olive , couple of red & yellow pepper slice & feta . I know their are many ways to make a Greek salad but the tomatoes to cucumber ratio was waaayyyy off . It was more like a tomatoes salad . My sister's meat was ice cold , hard & dry but they replaced it for her & then she enjoyed 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.
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.
