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.
Overall, Marathon Souvlaki comes across as a reliable, family friendly Greek spot with fresh, flavorful food, generous portions, and friendly, efficient service at a fair price. The menu staples like gyros, souvlaki, pita dishes, and the marathon salad are repeatedly praised, with many noting fast service, easy parking, and a welcoming atmosphere. Some reviews mention moments of inconsistency in quality or portion sizes over the years, louder peak hours, and occasional takeout experiences that aren’t perfect, but the restaurant remains a popular go-to for casual Greek meals.
I love the pork souvlaki here. Great value. Not many affordable family restaurants like this. This place does it right !!! Only complaint is the tomatoes on the dishes are consistently tasteless. Marathon is very consistent with the food quality & taste. They really know how to run a restaurant.
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.
Le même souvlaki que l'on retrouve dans les autres endroits. La meilleure vinaigrette , j'ai l'habitude d'en rapporter à la maison quand je vais à Laval . Difficile de trouver un endroit pour stationner le midi . Excellent service , c'est très rapide le midi !

Amazing service & food. Had the best most polite server he even got me to save money by suggesting a combo - Vegali thank you for your excellent service ....
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.
