I order the 2 porc souvlaki skewers with Greek salad, rice & fried potato. 1st the staff are great at getting the order done fast! 2nd the presentation is excellent, u feel like u are getting exactly what u would expect if a restaurant is treating u right when delivering food to u! the salad comes in it's own container, very nice looking, with a transparent lid allowing u to see the salad which is a nice touch, in a separate container, which again is very nice looking, u have the two pork skewers, fried potato wedges & rice nicely presented! 3rd, the food is delicious, the salad is fresh, large & excellent, lettuce, tomato, black olives, peppers, thinly sliced onion, & comes with a lovely vinaigrette. The 2 pork souvlakis skewers are perfectly cooked & tasty, the rice is perfect, the fries are tasty & also perfectly cooked (Add on a very tasty sauce that comes with it which adds a nice zest to the meal) U get a generous serving of everything. So, quick recap, quick preparation for delivery, excellent presentation, generous portions & delicious food! Highly recommend! The meal also comes with hot bread in aluminum foil.
Its not the first time we go, its always been good, but last visit last week for lunch with family Chicken brochet lambs & calamari all over coocked don't know what happened, but unfortunately did not like our visit.
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 ;)
Grew up in parc extension , still go to the area often. Really respect what this place represents. One of the first real restaurants I have ever been to; first time back in 2013 & most recently in 2025. Hope this place continues to stand the test of time.
Wait time is never long for food or otherwise.
Clean. Very very clean & so is staff
Polite & professional
Traditional food & generous portions
Prices are extremely reasonable
(I respect the cash only aspect $$$)
Can't wait to go back & definitely recommend ! 💯
Hands down the best Greek food in Montreal. Service is always on point & top Notch. Amazing value & nothing on the menu will leave you disappointed. Staff is super friendly & welcoming. A Montreal staple that lives up to their name & reputation. A must try if you've never been. You won't regret it!!
Les côtelettes d'agneau sont délicieuses & le calmars frit aussi! Les assiettes sont bien généreuses!
Quick service, the food amazing! The chicken was so juicy, would definitely come back here.
Les calmars étaient très bon mais malheureusement la salade grecque & le pita gyro poulet ne l'était pas :(. La salade n'était pas assaisonnée, pas de vinaigrette & le tzatiki du gyro n'a aucune saveur de la sauce traditionnelle…il était sucré & épicé d'épices moyent orient, décevant! Serveurs TRÈS occupés mais très gentils malgré tout…merci!
Good to be back in Montreal & needed my fix of good Greek food. I decided to try Marven's because of their Google Maps score & it did not disappoint. Perfect Montreal Greek style with char-grilled bread, authentic tzatziki with lots of garlic, & terrific souvlaki plate with high quality ingredients (feta, pork, rice, tomatoes, etc). Their signature Marven's sauce was a surprise - really tasty - I tried it sparingly at first & then ended up pouring it all over my plate 😂. The service & atmosphere were also excellent.
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.
It was amazing the food was so tasty. I recommend to bring your love ones hear for a good meal.
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.
