Le meilleur restaurant grec à Montréal. Je suis même prêt à dire "dans la grande région de Montréal". La nourriture est délicieuse & le service est familial & chaleureux. N'oubliez pas de demander la sauce maison, elle va avec tout! Je recommande.

"Une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle au Marven's Restaurant ! Les portions généreuses de souvlaki, accompagnées de riz, frites & salade grecque, étaient délicieuses & parfaitement assaisonnées. J'ai été impressionné par la qualité & la fraîcheur des ingrédients utilisés. De plus, le gâteau au fromage était un pur délice, une fin parfaite pour un repas mémorable. Le service était impeccable & l'ambiance chaleureuse. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant à tous les amateurs de cuisine grecque!"

We were for lunch but after the lunch rush! Totally recommended for the time & the food. Attn: CASH only. Food: flavors are on point, family meal flavors done right. Yes, price is high but portions are huge. We have to take some leftovers to-go. Calamari is a must but also huge so sharing among 2 or 3 friends is better. Steaks are also humongous, prepare your stomach well in advance. Sauce: traditional sweet & tomato-ey sauce on the table (see pics) are a must with calamari. Drink: Fix beer is a nice larger that would cut the greasiness from food. Vibe: small, cozy, wooden cottage vibe. Very familial & local. Super attentive waiters. Dine there & walk to parc Jarry for digestion on a nice sunny day will complete your afternoon with relaxation.

Attentive service & amazing food. The place is pretty small for how popular they are, so expect at least a 20 minute wait during peak hours. The lamb chops are flavorful & tender. Calamari is just lightly breaded & crispy & fresh. Greek salad comes with a block of feta cheese & not just feta crumbles. Highly recommend their pork gyro pita. Very large portion we had so much leftover to bring home.
