Marven's Restaurant: A Montreal Classic Serving Up Succulent Greek Fare Marven's is a Park Extension institution that has been serving Montrealers delicious Greek food since 1973. This family-run restaurant is known for its warm atmosphere, tasty dishes, & legendary portions. The menu features succulent fish & meat dishes, with their steaks, souvlaki, & titanic mixed grill platter being particular favorites. The portions are so generous that they've become a talking point among diners. Few patrons are aware, but the secret sauce is that most all foods on the menu are grilled to perfection on a wood burning fire pit. Be prepared to wait for a table, especially on weekends, as this popular spot draws a crowd eager to experience Marven's charm; whether it's their first time or 20th!View more
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. Honorable mentions & must-haves are also their lamb chops & abundant calamari. 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 online.View more
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.View more
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.View more
Classic Greek restaurant in Montreal. The fried calamari appetizer is very good & is enough to feed 4 people. I had the pork souvlaki. It was good but nothing extraordinary. I've had better souvlaki elsewhere. The complimentary bread was also not great. My friends ordered the lamb which was very good. Potato house fries are good as well. The rice & salad were average. Service was nice & fast. There are better Greek restaurants in Montreal in the plateau area but overall not a bad choice.View more
One of the best Greek restaurants in the heart of Montreal. Best souvlaki pita wrap! Highly recommend their lamb & chicken souvlaki followed by their fried calamari.View more
Best Greek reastaurant, portions are huge, food is fresh, calamaries are to die for.View more
Holy, this place was very fast! The service was great, food came out quick. It's been a few years since I last came here -- the atmosphere is nice with the new updates. We ordered the calamari plate, the baby back ribs & the steak. The salad to start with was very filling we had the greek salad each. The steak with medium rare was cooked to perfection & the ribs were pretty good. In my opinion the rice was a bit bland & they give a lot of fries. Very filling & worth if you're looking for quantity & quality food.View more
One of the best Greek restaurants in Montreal! Contrary to most of Greek restaurants in Montreal, their price is not high, the portions are really generous, their staff are so attentive & fast, & the quality of food is amazing! I have visited this place multiple times, & each time I really enjoyed my experience!View more
Definitely the best Greek in Montreal. Staff is great.View more
Some weird recipes of traditional Greek food. No musaka, no Ouzo, no Metaxa, no Mythos, ... Great waiters, prices are really reasonable, great atmosphere, not fully crowded, fast service, tasty food...View more
Best Greek restaurant in the Montreal area for sure! Everything is tasty & fresh. The portions are very big! They only take cash so you should think of withdrawing some before, but there's an ATM in the basement of the restaurant. Also it's a first come first sit kind of place, so during the busy times you're gonna have to wait, but the wait is worth! 5 stars to this place for the quality of the food & the great service!View more
Delicious Greek food & generous portions always fresh. Great prices & service.View more
If you grew up in the Montreal area, you know Marven's & the amazing staff ALWAYS delivers on their taste & friendly service. The ONLY reason it's missing 1 star even after their renovations is because of the A/C. If you get a chance to visit Marven's, here are the basics you gotta order: Ribsteak, Lamb chops & calamari. Please do yourselves the favor & take it with the greek salad. Thank you Marven's for the years of supplying us with the exceptional experience!View more
The best Calamaris in town.
One of the best Greek restaurant, the food in very good, the service is fast.
Must look before ordering Lamb Chops. Sometimes they are nice & big, sometimes very small & not worth to order.
The steak is very good, nice, big & juicy. the only thing I do not like about this plate is the mushrooms. Mushrooms are ''sautés'', not fried & that is the way they cook the mushroom, deep fried. You just don't do that.
But I still recommend this place.
