Review Summary

Reviewers describe Marven's as a cozy, family style Greek spot in Park Extension with wood fired grilling, generous portions, and consistently hearty flavors. Calamari is repeatedly singled out as a standout, often called the best in town, while the lamb chops, rib steak and souvlaki also receive high marks for quality and value. The menu blends fried and grilled classics with plenty of sharing plates, and many diners praise authentic tzatziki, Greek salad, and sauces that add real flavor. Service is typically friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, though the restaurant can feel crowded and noisy, especially on weekends, with lines forming before seating. Cash is required, with an ATM on site, and takeout or delivery is available for those who prefer. While most reviews are enthusiastic, a few note occasional inconsistencies in dishes or service and suggest the experience may vary by day or crowd.

I had an amazing experience at Marven's - easily one of Montréal's best spots for hearty, authentic Greek food. The portions are generous & everything tastes freshly grilled: their lamb chops, mixed grill platter & souvlaki come out juicy & full of flavor. The vibe inside is warm & welcoming, almost like a cozy family tavern, & the staff are friendly & efficient. On top of that, the prices are reasonable for what you get, & the ambiance - with wood?fire grills & rustic decor - adds to the charm. If you're craving comfort food & a filling meal with great hospitality, Marven's is definitely worth the 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.

Their house & greek salad are one of the best, & they give good portions of it. The house sauce too, amazing to pour on the steak of lamb chops, which is what we always order when we go there. The seating is crowded, which is even tougher to move around with puffy winter coats, or with small kids (if they don't sit still).

This place is a gem, the waiters while a little rough around the edges are attentive & responsive. I sampled the olive plate, greek salad, calamari & the lamb chops, all of which were exceptional & very generous servings. Get there early or you'll be waiting in line.

Amazing customer service & delicious food! The lamb chops were incredibly flavorful - truly the highlight of the meal. Our server, Andrea, was excellent & made the experience even better.

Best Greek grill in Montreal, since 1973 ! We've been coming for years & never disappoints.
The rib steak is truly amazing, tender & expertly grilled. It's served with sautéed mushrooms, chunky home fries, & a huge Greek salad.
Don't forget their calamari & tender lamb chops.
Special thanks to Jimmy & Peter, for the exceptional service.
This is a landmark in Montreal, & truly worth a trip to Park Extension. There may be lineups, but it's worth it.

Note : Cash only, but there's an ATM onsite.

I've been here a few times-usually go for the Calamari & Lamb chops. Today, we tried the Steak, & I like it. It was tender, juicy, & cooked just the way we wanted. The portion was generous too.

STILL ONE OF THE BEST!
I've already given Marven's a 5-star review before, but I feel the need to update it because every time I come back with my family, the experience remains just as excellent. The service is consistently great, the staff is super friendly, & even though the place gets pretty crowded at times, the atmosphere stays warm & enjoyable. Plus, parking is never a hassle you can always find a spot around the block.

Now, let's talk about the food. We had the Lamb Chops, Salmon, Steak, Chicken, & of course their signature dish the Calamari with their famous Secret Sauce. Absolutely delicious! As always, the meal starts with some bread, followed by a salad of your choice, & then your main course.

The flavors never disappoint. My family & I enjoy every visit, & it has become one of our go-to spots for a satisfying meal.

If you haven't tried Marven's yet, I highly recommend it, you won't regret it!

*edit: unfortunately like many other good restaurants the food has changed here. Not sure if it's new chefs but the food doesn't even taste like Greek food anymore. Feels salty & tastes like heavily doused in Montreal steak spice & other strange flavors. The pitas aren't even wrapped properly, like someone who never made a pita before. It's sad because the service staff is so nice & it's a staple in the community. Hopefully it will get better again like to used to be.

Always the the best chicken/porc souvlaki & calamari. When most restaurants are giving smaller portions, lesser quality, Marvens doesn't change their portions, freshness & flavors! The service is always great at takeout . Keep it up!

Very tasty food. Even with the higher prices it's still ok because you're getting real food!

They need to wrap their pitas with wax paper or something. It's a wet mess! One layer of wrapping is not enough for takeout. But still yummy!

Been eating here for years...Porc souvlaki pita or stick is great! Big portion, good flavour & lean but soft. Calamari is great when it's hot & crispy & the oil doesn't taste fishy... same goes for the fries. Chicken gyro is very good too. The lamb gyro needs improvement...they need to slice it a lot thinner & it should be leaner. Overall would definitely recommend.

The service is quick & friendly. We ordered calamari, lamb chops & chicken souvlaki.
Calamari was a big portion, delicious & tender! Must get as everyone in the restaurant had a plate on their table. Lamb chops were also very good, moist & flavorful. The chicken souvlaki wasn't that great as I found it to be dry, wish I ordered the rib steak instead. Every table seemed to have gotten basket of bread but we didn't & we didn't realized until halfway through our meal.

Would come back next time we're in Montreal to try the steak & definitely back for the calamari!
