It's stuck in time that place. Don't get me wrong....good food but you have to go with the times. Kinda sketch when u don't accept any sort of credit or payment method other then cash. In the old days...sure cash was the way to go but in 2024...mmm. Overall it's good food.
My high school buddy has owned Marvens since forever. I remember this food from my childhood & it hasn't changed.
🛑 MUST TRY! 🛑 What a hidden gem! This place is a must try if your in Montreal! Great food at great prices! The amount of squid you get for the price is unbelievable! Their taramasalata will transport you right to Greece! You'll lick the plate before you leave!
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.
Overall the food is great .. my only comment is that in a few of the Geros the some parts of the chicken was dry felt like it was shaved little earlier or been rotating little longer .. next time I will stick the the chicken on a stick Gero.. the Calamari was fantastic 👏 👌
Fresh food with big portions! I love their calmars, the best one in the whole Quebec province. I wish I had a bigger stomach.
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.
Very cozy restaurant! Hard to find parking around & waited for almost one hour to get a table though. I tried ribs & dish kebab & they tasted amazing!
Marven's is hands down the best Greek restaurant I've been to! Been coming from Ottawa especially to eat here for the past 30 years very consistent, staff treats us like family. Service is fast, staff very courteous & food is AMAZING! Rib steak, calamari & lamb chops are the best I've had, their house sauce is great, authentic food amazing flavours.
My family & I have been eating at this location for over 25 years, we live in ottawa & average one trip a month to Marvens. Our kids now ask us to visit Marvens weekly, they love this place & so do we. The best Calamari, Steaks, Ribs, & anything else we have eaten here. The staff is always amazing, courteous, fast, & treat you like family.
It was really really yummy food!!!! :) It was such a delightful experience. The lamb chops were absolutely delicious. Kind of wished I ordered 10 pieces instead of 5. The calamaris were extremely soft & delicious & such a big portion!! We really the experience. Highly recommend!!!!

Nourriture excellente, c'est un incontournable Grecque à Montréal. LA SAUCE WAOW. mais ambiance moins conviviale. On mange & on part, mais on mange bien !
