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!
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.
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.
Je fréquentes ce restaurant depuis au moins 2018, la qualité de la nourriture a toujours été excellente, l'ambiance est bonne & les prix aussi! Je recommande sans hésitation!
I went here on the recommendation of my relative's sister. I love lamb, but my relatives didn't like it. But the lamb here was absolutely perfect. My relative, who didn't like lamb, also enjoyed it. Now everyone loves lamb. I really recommend it. The salad was really good, & all the food was great. Baguette bread is also served as an appetizer, but I have to tell the server. Remember this. Both the food & the service were perfect.

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.
I had an unexpected extra night in Montreal due to a canceled flight. I ended up at Marathon & was immediately encouraged by how busy it was. I enjoyed the food & found the service excellent, even though they seemed to be rushing around to take care of everyone. Highly recommended if you're in the mood for simple Greek food in the Montreal style. Nothing fancy, but good.

Very average to below average Greek restaurant. Once a great Greek restaurant in Chomedey laval on Blvd. notre Dame, the family owned business built this into a multi location & in guessing franchise model as the food is sub par. Famous for their home made salad dressing & silver dollar style (frozen) fries, all else is not the same. Service is slow Atmosphere is outdated & needs a serious update. Value. Food to quality to taste to portion to price - on the lower spectrum of value. I seriously can't recommend anything that I would take responsibility for should you likely not like it. The fries & salad dressing was the best (of the worst) & I can't say more. This is a real shame as the brand was big way back. I guess the family has opted for mediocre & money over quality & pride in the food they serve. Who's to say they are wrong. For me - it's wrong for me. If you want great affordable authentic Greek? Go to Greek town grill in chomedey or the West Island or Yai Sou on queen mary.
I've been there more than 50 times & will go again. The food tastes great & ingredients are always fresh. Friendly staff & clean kitchen. I recommend this location.
The waiters know everything about the menu & will help you make a good choice accordingly.the fried zucchinis🤤 These alone make the trip worthwhile. So imagine the rest of it.. the grilled loukaniko is very good also (try it with lemon on top ) all the meals are very generous & the desserts are big sized also.. do not except to get out walking normally you will need a walk after this greek goodness would recommend to anyone only love for marathon decarie
Excellent restaurant Grec. Les calmars sont excellents, les frites sont pas mal & la salade bien. La salade manquait un peu d'olives. Le service est rapide & la bouffe très bien, je recommande.
Came a couple of times already. Food is pretty good, price is reasonable, & portions are filling. The souvlaki, lamb chops & fries are delicious. Really recommend the marathon salad over the Greek salad, which mainly consisted of tomatoes (?!). Rice tend to be a bit undercooked to my taste. Lunch menu is available with some of the same food, but a bit cheaper.
