Great food. Very large servings for a very reasonable price. 2/4 of the people we went with couldn't even finish their plate which was under $25, I believe. Service was good as well. Not a particularly big spot if you're going with large groups, but if you're looking for a good, relatively healthy meal, I would recommend. Will certainly be back to this location when I'm back in MTL. read more

Best souvlaki ever, normally i always get it for take out, but i try the restaurant with my friends the other night and we loved it too with good food and great service and good ambiance the restaurant was full. Great place if you want a good meal, i recommend it to everyone! read more

Great family restaurant - casual diner ambiance and generous portions. Ordered souvlaki, pitas, and grilled lamb chops ($30). Everything was really good and lamb chops were some of my favorite and best seasoned/grilled I've ever had in a restaurant! Friendly, prompt service. In a busy strip plaza. read more

Very expensive and bad service. The portions are extremely small, almost like child-size. Totally overrated place -- it does not live up to the hype at all. The quality is poor, the staff is inattentive, and what you get does not justify the high prices. The overall experience feels disappointing and a complete waste of money. Honestly, there are far better options around, and I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Dropped by here as it is one of my favourite souvlaki places. I used to come here regularly (once every few weeks) when I worked in the area but nowadays I only go here if I'm in the neighbourhood or if someone wants to meet up around the area for a lower priced sit down restaurant. The place has free WiFi but it is password protected so you need to ask the server for the password. I asked and it was provided to me without any issues. I ordered their lunch trio and it comprised of fries, a pita of your choice, and a soft drink. I opted for the chicken souvlaki pita. Not sure if things changed but they no longer seemed to offer garlic buttered bread here. At first I thought it was just me but when I looked at the other tables, none of the tables close to me had bread on their table. My meal came relatively fast as did my soft drink (in glass). I was a bit surprised when it came out as I was expecting a larger plate and for there to be my choice of either Marathon salad or Greek salad but I think that I ordered the wrong thing (or I ordered the souvlaki plates previously during my lunches here and got used to it and never ordered the souvlaki trio) The restaurant was somewhat busy/crowded and even though I finished my water and finished my soft drink before I had finished my fries, I wasn't offered a refill of my water. When I finished my fries, the waitress took my empty plate and asked if I wanted anything else and I said no. She then brought me my bill and stood while I keyed in the tip value on the machine (since I was paying by credit card). I thought that the food was very good. The service could have been better. It wasn't bad but could have been better (such as refilling the water). They also seemed to be cutting back as they didn't give anyone their garlic butter bread. read more

Great meal chicken souvlaki pita plate. But, the custard phylo (galakoboreko) dessert was completely tasteless. It was a very soggy, watered-down syrupy mess. I was looking forward to it! Sadly, a waste of my money. read more

OH MY this place was incredible! Everything was so flavorful and scrumptious! Their pita breads were to fluffy and heavenly, I wish I wasn't back in the states. Most people, would probably be overwhelmed by the amount of I believe it's called, tzatziki sauce on my meal, but I felt like I was in heaven, with every bite! The little appetizer platter we got was delicious as well! read more

Staff is friendly and service is quick.. in house dining or take out ... you won't be disappointed. read more

Food is always good here. Service is prompt. It's not a fancy place but you always get a good meal.

The restaurant was packed with people who want a great souvlaki. We started with the Tzatziki which was really great, fresh, flavourful and comes with pita bread. I had the chicken pita souvlaki which was delicious! The Greek salad was good too. Everything came out of the kitchen very quickly and service was quick and efficient. It's a winning combination! read more

Was in the neighbourhood and craving Greek food!! We haven't been to this marathon in years so we decided to support our fabulous local restaurant business and picked up some marathons for dinner ! Ordering procedure took place over the phone, Service was wonderful and friendly ! Very easy and quick! The lady was very sweet and made sure to get our order placed efficiently. She even gave us an estimate of how long the order would take to get ready! Pretty quick 10 min wait and boom it was ready! Food: this is one of the better marathons, the plate was jammed packed ! My donner pita was SHTUFFED with tons of flavour It was filled to the rim of the pita with tons of pork and beef shavings and Tzatziki !!! Wowowow I was in Heaven! By far one of the better donner pitas I've had! Super fresh and delicious ! Salad was super fresh as well And don't worry about the price vs quality, you will not hit the bank when you come here very affordable quick and delicious ! Overall, pretty impressed with the service food and overall quality totally recommend ! read more

My work colleagues love marathon souvlaki. The only choice I have in this restaurant is the spanakopita plate which comes with potatoes, rice and salad, since I am a pescatarian. For a lunch dish, it's super huge, and usually I eat the salad for supper. For a massive dish, it's not expensive at all. It's super tasty but little dry for me. The marathon salad is so so delicious with their marathon salad dressing. I wish they would have some fish and seafood dishes, so I can try different varieties. read more

Marathon Souvlaki - Spanakopita with fries and rice plus marathon salad - Greek Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Stopped by on my visit to Montreal. The food is pretty good - the souvlaki and gyros are solid. The tzatziki sauce is great. Although the food is far from extraordinary. I've eaten at many Mediterranean/Greek restaurants which taste comparably if not better. I think this is however a solid option to scratch the itch for some souvlaki or gyros but not worth a trip across the border if you're from the USA. read more

Marathon Souvlaki - Greek Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Best Greek Restaurant but lately the portions have been reduced and the price have gone up. The food quality has gone down. The tomatoes were always of best quality. Fries are overcooked and the portion has been reduced, as well. I hope you will try to keep again the quality of the best Greek food in Montreal. read more

Service was great at this location, waiters were super attentive and made sure that everything came on time and we were happy. Food took literally 5-10 mins or less to get to our table which was great cause we walked in really hungry Food was fine, it' wasn't amazing but it also wasn't terrible. The only thing I'd complain about would be that the chicken in the pita was dry and hard to chew but otherwise the food was great :) read more

I just love their Marathon's salad! Beautiful presentation and quality ingredients. My son loves the fries. Good affordable healthy food. Definitely order the Tzatziki with your bread. read more

Marathon Souvlaki - Marathon's Salad - Greek Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Take out order from DDO Marathon Souvlaki restaurant. Food & service excellent as usual. Disappointing to learn that, as a cost reduction initiative, the delicious GARLIC BUTTER BREAD was replaced by Pitas. This is comparable to serving a salad 2without dressing or a Pasta without sauce. I would rather pay a premium for the Garlic Butter Bread, or a higher cost for the meal, than destroy what was an integral ingredient to the Marathon experience. HEADQUARTERS HAS TO BRING BACK THE GARLIC BUTTER BREAD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. read more

Very disappointed. I Ordered the Calamari plate and it was Extremely salty. I won't be going back . Sorry !!

Saganaki is good little greasy but hey. The salad is the real reason I come here the dressing is really good not your typical boring Cesar or boring oil and balsamic. I wouldn't recommend anything else from here. If u want good Greek u go to Tripolis not marathons lol read more

Marathon Souvlaki seems to be a locally owned souvlaki restaurant with only a few locations. This Marathon is located in a shopping center near the Montreal hippodrome, among a Baton Rouge, Roots and Stitches...off of Decarie. The food is a good value. They have options of chicken or pork souvlaki, gyros, doner meat, etc. You can get one or two of each, or a combination plate with your choice of two items from a series of selections. Along with your meat choice, you have the option of rice or fries and a greek or marathon salad. They also have merguez sausages and calamari available. The portions are large, and the average price is $15 per person. Along with your meal, you will get free garlic bread. Every time we go, the service is nice (for Montreal). My only complaint is that they don't come around enough to offer refills on water. If you are in the area and hungry, or if you are looking for a good souvlaki restaurant, you need to go here, it's really good! read more

This place is solid visit to visit, and they've got their routine down pat. I've been there several times for lunch meetings (other times with family and/or friends for lunch or dinner) and despite it being a bit on the loud side, they have a nice lunch menu --- fairly priced and service is quite prompt. The portions are substantial and quality is consistent on. The taste is also very Marathon, and in some ways is a bit boring seasoning wise, but then again they probably go with what the majority likes and keeps coming back for, as they are usually on the busy side. I was pleasantly surprised that they had several hot tea flavor options and that they ask if you want onions on your salad. Garlic is another story, as the garlic bread that comes pre-meal is full of it, but it's yum and that's what mints are for... All-in-all it's closer to a 5* - but in my case, I prefer bolder flavoring. read more

Been going here for at least 5 years with the family. We've come with groups of 4.. all the way up to 25. They are very accommodating and food is amazing every time. I recommend getting the pork pita plate with half fries, half rice, and marathon salad. The calamari is also a great appetizer. read more

Let me tell you about Greek food if you haven't had it. It's pretty neat. Lots of fresh ingredients with an equal amount of cooked things like rice, pork, chicken, squid, yadda. Basically at no point will you ever have anything overwhelmingly undercooked or overcooked at the same time on the same plate. It's light, good to binge on and it ends up making you feel all right in the end. So we went to this place, Marathon for a family dinner and the atmosphere is basically like an Applebees meets Mediterranean food, which was like a mindfreak of itself, but I guess if you're going for not offending anyone it's the proper approach. Like get some cool Greek stuff in there. Pictures of Athens, decor to match the dishes, cutlery from Greece. Something to denote that this is a great place with people from the culture cooking there. They start you with "garlic" bread. I tend not to pick on garlic bread but this was so under spiced with garlic, I could only taste butter, which in my experience as a Slavic guy, this makes it buterbrod, not garlic, but who knows, nobody asks Slavs their opinions on shit like this. The food was awesome. I forget what everyone else got, but I don't really care about their opinions since I'm the one reviewing. I got the Calamari. Came with a side of rice, and a Mediterranean salad, though you could choose the house salad (for those who can't handle eating Greek at a Greek restaurant) and fries (for the even more bland of personality) if you so wanted. Gotta say, the meal was great, though I took most of it home. Look, my baba doesn't even feed me this much food. I do not need 2 kilos of calamari, a kilo of rice and a kilo of salad, though for 21 dollars, it's worth it. Also they were out of Greek beer, which really bummed me out cause I miss Mythos, but I can't really blame them for that, can I? Yeah I can. And do. Get your Mythos back in stock. I need some. Yesterday. Oh and I forget her name but our server was hilarious and basically became my mother in law's best friend in 15 minutes which is not an easy feat. Props to that. All in all, it's worth a stop, just don't expect anything highly traditional if that is what you're looking for. It's mostly for olds and people on a budget to have good food cooked fast and to have a decent outing, to which it accomplishes. If you're looking for something straight out of the peninsula, you'll be saddened, especially if Mythos is on backorder (caulisse de tabarnak...) but it'll scratch the itch you need to get the flavors you're looking for. read more

Great place to visit with kids, the service is extremely fast, food is fresh and everything I tried was very good. I liked the fact that the minute you sit you get a generous portion of garlic bread to help you think about your order. Try the Marathon salad or the chicken my kid loved it. read more

If you are like me and are sometimes too lazy to make dinner after work, are looking for something above fast food but not quite take out, go to Marathon. They've got good food, pretty decent prices.

I always hear people raving about this place but I was not wowed. Oddly, I like most things on the menu but food was just ok. I really think Marathon's is over hyped. I've been here twice and ordered the chicken brochette plate, called "chicken stick" on their menu, for 11.45$ I found the chicken dry and chewy. It was like eating plain chicken breast. I've tried their pitas before and just not a fan of the tzatziki sauce. Overpowering, smelly. Rice is very good, and salad is alright - as another reviewer mentioned, its just iceberg lettuce. The bread basket they serve everyone is trying to pass off as garlic bread, but they use oil, not butter. It's gross. The best thing on my dish was the feta cheese, really. read more

We came here for dinner with friends. We had a huge party and they were really good about setting up a table for us - considering we did not have reservations. Service was quick and friendly. A plus for offering to give us separate checks without us asking. I had the chicken souvlaki and it was good. Food was plentiful and worth the price! Restaurant is neat and clean. read more

First experience was great. It is a franchise --and offers some Greek specialities. Service is present, courteous and fast.i didn't have to request to get something. The waiter on that night was the one requesting me whether I needed something and proceeded to get it done on the go. Food was not bad. The establishment is not cheap --we had enough meat for two for under 30$. For instance , the calamari plate was not the best , but it was good and not oily , this is a big plus as you don't feel completely drained and dead after your meal. The souvlaki pitas had enough meat and plenty of sauce for one to be satisfied. Their fries tasted like potatoes chips cooked in the oven--so goood. As for the Greek salad , wasn't great but it wasn't bad. Anyway , I felt like the reviews for the restaurant did not do justice. Indeed, marathon souvlaki is an excellent restaurant with Greek specialities, if is affordable and you feel like a customer that they want you to come back for another visit , which I personally will. read more

I wish we had food like this in Michigan...Greek restuarants who claim to have souvlaki please take notes, you have no clue. We have been to every Greek restuarant you can think of in Michigan...everyone. None of them can even come close to what is available in Montreal, even though these are chain restaurants they are great. The porc souvlaki is out of this world, the frites and the rice are wonderful as well as the salad. Everything here has taste, everything in the states is so bland. On the other hand refills are free, all drinks come with ice, and a large is a large. Here glasses are small, there still trying to figure out what ice is and you do not get free refills. But the food is incredible. read more

A little bit of attention goes a long way and this where marathon lost its 2 stars. I called to make an order to pick up and was very specific in my request. I even asked her to repeat the order. Once I got there I repeated my order and she handed me the bags. I presumed since her sole job was to handle take out orders that I didn't need to check my order. Well, big mistake. Once I got home I realized the order was incorrect. I had asked for one stick plate with salad and two other souvlaki pita plates with rice and potatoes. I got 3 salads and one plate of rice and potatoes. I had also asked for extra tzatziki for which I paid 3$ and it was also missing. When I called back she told me she'd give me a free plate next time I'm there which is great but how are you going to make my crappy dinner experience better today? Needless to say that was one sad meal. read more

I had a loukaniko pita and a gyro pita. Both were fantastic, home made pitas and all. Definitely very solid

My son buys "souvlaki" from the local diner in the Hudson Valley. The souvlaki there is gyro, chicken or pork." "Wait 'til we get to Montreal," I said "a real souvlaki is made with lamb. With tomatoes miraculously delicious even out of season." Drive up to Montreal and go to Marathon first thing. Souvlaki restaurant. What do we find? Souvlaki made from chicken, pork and gyro. "Do you have lamb?" "We have lamb chops" My son had a Gyro that was exactly and precisely as bad as it is back home. Gyro is some kind of processed meat. Further complaints: industrial tasting taramousalada served with white bread--chewy pita extra. I guess you can't go home again. I don't think there were other options--chicken, pork, gyro (gyro!!?) for souvlaki back then. The great Greek restaurants of the 60s and 70s are tasteless chains now--Arahova, Casa Greque. They buy the name and good will but lose the personal touches that make a restaurant great. Montrealers please message me with the name of a Greek restaurant that makes a real Souvlaki. I'm sure they are there. read more

the service here is lighting fast!!! If i grade with service it's 4 stars, but I only do the food so 3 stars. We came, we ordered, we ate, and we left all within 25 minutes!!! The fried calamari is standard taste wise, it hit the spot, except it comes with cocktail sauce and not tartar sauce, and no lemon wedge. The doner pita/gyro. The tzatziki sauce is a bit mild for me i would have liked more salt and tang. The doner meat was very good though fresh and juicy. Definitely recommend this place for a quick eat, there's always a lineup but it moves very fast. very nice I like it very much read more

Tried Souvlaki after my mother in law kept telling me how amazing it is (yes, she loved it so much and wants to name my future daughter that) We went to Marathon Souvlaki hoping for light, guilty free comfort food after a long hectic weekend. Marathon Souvlaki was all that and more, we had the Souvlaki chicken plate and the tzatziki dip. I would have preferred pita bread with my dip (it's available separately- but realized a bit too late) The chicken was flavorful and tender, the rice was cooked well and the fries were quite more like thick crisps. The portions at this place are rather large so I would suggest share a plate between 2 if you aren't starving. Didn't like the ambience as much but the food really makes up for all that. Our server wasn't very pleasant, but the food made up for that as well. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants good Greek food. read more
