The Calami is really good, big portion. appetizer that you will never miss it if you go there.

Great Customer service, he is very friendly.

Great service as always & delicious!! The portions are generous & the Calamari are to a MUST if you go there!! I would also recommend the Entrecôte. We also took Shish Taouk plate as well as the Taziki (with bread just goes well!). Easy Parking around, & not much wait time for 5PM. It does however get busier after ;)

A family Greek restaurant that emphasis in quality , large portions & great taste of food . One of the best Calamari/Squid dishes I had in a Greek restaurant , there are planets of choices to chose for .
Is more a family oriented type of restaurant that a fancy one ,more like a family type of gathering place .
I highly recommend it if you like quality Greek dishes .
The price of dishes is great for the quality & portion size . Takes at least 20 min before the social gathering as sometimes is a wait of 15-25 min .
As is such popular place !

Great experience at Marven's. Best calamari in town, generous portions, & a nice variety of food on the menu. Loved the service as well - friendly & efficient. Just make sure to bring cash, as they don't accept cards. Definitely worth a visit.

fantastique!

had lunch at Marven's in Montreal, & it was nothing short of exceptional. I'd heard wonderful things about the place- Anthony Bourdain himself visited, & I can now see precisely why it has earned such a reputation.

We ordered their famous calamari fry, lamb chops, & steaks, & every single dish was absolutely spot on. The calamari was perfectly crisp & flaky without being greasy, the lamb chops were beautifully seasoned & cooked to perfection, & the steak was tender, flavourful, & honestly one of the best I've had in the city.

The service was warm, attentive, & effortless in that distinctly charming way that instantly makes you feel welcome. Despite how busy they were, the staff took the time to ensure everything was to our liking, & the atmosphere felt both lively & relaxed.

It's easy to understand why Marven's is so beloved by locals & visitors alike. A truly memorable meal & the sort of place you're glad you made the effort to find.
Highly recommended- an absolute gem in Montreal.

I usually go to Marvens for their famous calamari. The restaurant is pretty consistent with menu. Most things taste the as it did 20+ years ago! I just had one bad experience with the calamari & got served a bad batch while treating my date to a birthday lunch (worst timing possible). However this Traditional Spot Is still my go to for calamari so I would still recommend it regardless of my one bad experience. Btw did mention the calamari is too good to resist!
