Marven's in Parc Extension is a Greek restaurant of good quality, generous portions and affordable prices. The restaurant is popular for it's fresh, tender souvlakis and calamari.
Marven's is widely praised as a Park Extension staple with a warm, family atmosphere, where generous portions and consistently bold Greek flavors like fried calamari, lamb chops, souvlaki and rib steak have made it a go to for locals and visitors alike. Reviewers emphasize fast, attentive service and a lively, welcoming vibe, even when the house is busy, with a wood burning grill adding a distinctive char to many dishes and a signature sauce that patrons love to smother on their plates. The menu is described as reliable and affordable for the size of the portions, though crowds can mean long lines on weekends, cash only payments and occasional notes of strong noise or a rare hiccup in quality. While most experiences are glowing and nostalgic, a few visits are mentioned as less than perfect including a bad batch of calamari, a day with dry gyro or missing ingredients, and concerns about upkeep and cleanliness in some parts of the venue. Taken together the reviews portray Marven's as a Montreal icon that delivers hearty, authentic Greek food, large portions, and consistently friendly service, with the caveat that patience and cash are useful when dining there.
Marven's was a fantastic experience. From the quick service to the vibe it was amazing. The server was nice & the food was perfect.The only thing to note is that they only take cash & there is an ATM machine downstairs.

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.
Toujours,excellent depuis 40 ans. Ce sont les mêmes recettes. On ne peut plus apportez notre in c'est dommage cependant le vin maison est bon & pas trop cher.
Always an amazing experience & a.l.w.a.y.s good food. Pork souvlaki is a must, fried calamari is a must. That vinegar red sauce is just wow. Love that place, went back this week after 5 years & its still as good as i remember. Tzatziki is amazing too! Service is nice, atmosphere is okay but that is not why you come there, & to be honest, its one of this restaurant trait - come here, eat good, drink good, nice people. Thats what they do & thats what they deliver. Making a good job since the first time i went there while i was in highschool. Good job to the whole team! Oh & its really affordable making it a must👌
"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!"
