A very iconic spot in Montreal which is a must-visit. We went there on a Saturday night and obviously it was packed. Very different vibe there. Many vegetarian options in the menu. Food was good overall. We went for a grilled cheese, vegetarian burger (both combos) and a veggie pogo. Liked all three. Fries were good. O-Juice was nice but felt a bit sugary than sour. Portions were good and it didn't feel heavy. All their meals are given in takeout brown bags - no trays, plates etc. They don't have any indoor seating options but there are standing counters. There are a couple of benches outside if the weather permits. Many folks just got the food to their cars and ate them there. Staff was nice. Given it was our first time, we had a few questions which they answered well. Plenty of parking outside. Definitely recommended. read more

We were staying in the area while visiting Montréal. Montréal's famous Gibeau Orange Julep Restaurant is easily spotted by the giant orange dome on the restaurant. It's been around since 1932 and looks like to be a popular destination for locals and tourists. Our group just wanted something quick to eat since we spent the day in Old Montréal and was heading back to the hotel. The parking is a circle surrounding the structure. The speed of the line went pretty quick from ordering to getting the meal considering they had a steady line while we were there. There is option to dine there with some bench and table seating to the left of the ordering station. We just grab and took our stuff back to the hotel since it was late and a little windy the day we went there. We shared a poutine and got small orange julep drinks to share. The poutine was good, but not my favorite in this city. What I liked about it was the gravy. Rich and a generous amount on the fries. I didn't wish that the fries could have been more crisp. I think they got soggier by the gravy. The cheese curds were a bit melty- also there was no squeak when I took a bite. True cheese curds make a squeak when you chew them. Just not sure we didn't get a squeaking batch. The orange julep I would definitely come back for again. It was super refreshing and a little frothy on the finish. So good I wished I got a bigger size. It was a big hit with my daughter too. They sell them in different sizes and even sell a big sharing jug. We didn't try other offerings of food they had (hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches, spaghetti, wings, nuggets, desserts and breakfast), but may be on the next visit. It's worth checking out. Maybe next time we will try to dine in. read more

Fun facts time. My brothers & I were not allowed fast food (or soda!) growing up... real power move from my mom, turned all 3 of us into adults with next to no desire to eat junk - and as such, there's a TON of very common fast food places I've never tried. This was one of them - although I grew up around Montreal, I had never visited until my 40's, when my Boyfriend (who is forever amused by the number of local "landmarks" I haven't been to) took it upon himself to take me to Orange Julep. Super impressed by the food! I'm picky about fries, but I loved theirs - greasy & tasty - and I love that their hot dogs have toasted buns. First time having an orange julep drink as well, and I'm hooked! 5/5 for super satisfying junk food, sorry mom! Service is meh, and in summer, parking lot is literally SWARMING with wasps, attracted by spilled orange julep all over the ground, and by the trash cans. *Don't park near the trash cans*... and that's another thing, I'm not a fan of eating in my car. At all. But where else to hide from the feral wasps??? read more

Orange Julep - Fast Food Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

A total underrated hot dog spot. No frills - just a good take out or late night spot. What makes this place attractive to locals and tourists is that it's cheap and fast. It's sort of Montreal's version of in and out for hot dogs lol though they serve other items like chicken fingers and burgers too. Even poutine though that's not what they're known for. The definite must try and have is their orange julep drink - it's like a frosty orange juice and a tip ask for extra ice to make it colder!!! read more

Orange Julep is one of those places you just don't forget. That big orange sphere right off the highway -- you see it from a mile away. You can't miss it. I honestly hadn't been in years, so this felt like a little throwback moment. First of all, the hot dogs are huge. They're grilled (not steamed), and one was more than enough for me. Add the combo and you get a big portion of fries too, so you're definitely not leaving hungry. And obviously, if you're going to Orange Julep, you know what you're going for or you have to try ! The Orange Julep drink. Cold, creamy, and exactly how you remember it. The green cups are iconic, and it's been around since 1932, which says everything it needs to. They even have merch now ! Cute little shirts and totes! perfect gift shop if you're a tourist in Montreal. read more

I was originally planning to go to Decarie Hot Dog for lunch, but it was closed for the holidays. As I was taking the Metro back downtown, I remembered this place and myself having never come here, so I decided to get off the Metro to stop by here. The reviews already covered the setup well. It's not much, with a small standing area inside for dine-in, with a couple tables outside open during the summer. I had 2 steamies all dressed and a medium orange julep. The steamies were very good. The orange julep was...fine, but too sweet for my liking. I will say for the north of $20 pricing I paid here, I don't think I got my money's worth. It'll likely be one of those where now that I've gone once, I don't need to go again. read more

I was told by many friends and social media foodies that this is a local spot and should be at least visited once, and it did not disappoint!l the line was long because the register is so close to the entrance but the rest of the space is for pick up and eat standing. The atmosphere on a Friday night can be busy because of students, tourists and local car meet ups. The food did not disappoint as we got hotdog, poutine, and orange juice. A guy from NY/NJ, fresh orange juice is hard to come by. read more

I saw plenty of online travel blogs and YouTube videos recommending to visit Orange Julep, so the day I had a car, I stopped here for a quick snack. The building itself is what stands out and the reason most people would visit, I imagine. I tried the Orange Julep, and it's very similar in taste to an Orange Julius. I also tried the Frappe which is the Julep mixed with ice cream. Both good, but having had gown up on Orange Julius, nothing unique. I also had poutine, which I found too salty. Great to take a picture of, not bad for a julep drink but nothing special about the food. read more

A landmark and tourist stop that is fine for a visit but does not live up to the hype. Its best known for its julep drinks which taste like orange creamsicle -- though not everyone's taste. Expensive and staff are often rushed and therefore grumpy. While my partner loves the poutine, and my chicken sandwich was decent, this is truly a stop that does not live up to the hype. read more

Orange Julep - Fast Food Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

A very niche restaurant, fun for a tourist like myself to check out. The poutine was personally salty to my tastes, but still decent. I liked their orange juice beverage and wish I had gotten a larger size. Would recommend going with another person because the amount of poutine is relatively generous - lots of gravy and cheese. Outside of main downtown, so best to go if you have your own car, but I think the public transit would still be able to take you there. The service is fast and the workers speak French and English, so not super daunting for someone doesn't speak French, haha. Also, not bad pricing, $20-something CAD, so roughly $15 USD. read more

Orange Julep is a true Montreal institution, and it's worth a stop for the novelty alone. The namesake Orange Julep drink is... interesting. It's definitely not your typical orange juice; it's thick and creamy, almost like a creamsicle or a milkshake with an orange tang. You can really taste that ice cream element, which might not be for everyone, but it's a unique flavor experience. As a local street food spot, it delivers on that vibe. The outdoor-only seating is part of its charm, adding to the classic drive-in feel. My kids gave the hotdogs a solid 8 out of 10, so they're clearly doing something right there for the younger crowd. Plus, there's ample parking, which is a huge plus in this city. While the Julep itself is a bit of an acquired taste, it's a fun and convenient place to grab a quick, casual bite, especially if you're looking for something authentically Montreal. read more

Met a European friend who I hadn't seen in decades and decided we try out Gibeau Orange Julep, the iconic Montreal hot dog stand in the shape of a giant orange. I'm a native New Yorker whose childhood memories include Nathan's and Wetson's, and also grew up on Orange Julius. Given their names proximity to Orange Julius, ordered a "Trio" with an Orange Julep drink, hot dog and my first ever poutine. She had an Orange Julep and her first corn dog ever, a.k.a. their "Pogo." From my understanding Orange Julius's drink dates back to 1926 and Orange Julep started after that, but not clear what the connection is, but both delicious drinks taste if not identical, only discernible if they are side-by-side. The hot dog was solid with onions, relish, mustard and some type of slaw. And the poutine, rich with cheese curds and gravy, as tasted as expected... plus something to clog an artery. My friend especially enjoyed her first time corn dog with mustard. Note - Some may find Orange Julep pricey for a cheap eats. I'd recommend heading out to Gibeau Orange Julep on Boulevard Décarie at least once when visiting Montreal. The fun building is a sight-to-be-seen for nostalgia buffs and kids. read more

Came to try the orange julep and was very pleasantly surprised by the lightness! It was clear that fresh squeezed orange juice was used but thereafter, where I expected something heavy or thick (it was compared to a orange creamsicle after all), it was pretty liquidy and finished with just the slightest creaminess. It was nice! After a few sips though, I did think it got a bit too sweet though so it's best to share. It was also fun being able to spot this giant orange from the plane and we also giggled every time it showed up on maps. It's also an orange sphere there! read more

2.5/5 Came on our road trip back to Toronto. Apparently the orange juice taste has gone down over the years. We got both the juice and the frappe with ice cream. The orange juice tastes like an orange creamsicle! Both were insanely sweet though. They were hard to finish and J had to ask that the juice be mixed with water. Food is also pretty mediocre. Wouldn't make a trip out to this place again. read more

If you ask me, no trip to Montreal is complete without stopping my the Juelep. I always get the same thing, a large julep, a hot dog, and an order of fries for the table. It never disappoints! They have added more seating since my last visit so we were able to sit and enjoy our food and drinks. The julep was better than I remembered. I wish there was one in my city. The fries are always super greasy so I always add vinegar and salt. The hot dogs come with the option to add coleslaw which I think is an underrated topping. I also learned they have merch so I had to buy a hoodie. It was incredibly soft!!! I'll be back soon. read more

We came in not really liking poutine but left with a changed opinion and realized we just had bad poutine before! This was recommended by a local Quebecois so you already know this is the real if these are places frequented by locals. No frill kinda place... if you're American, this is like your town's hot dog stand along the highway but this place actually has some outdoor seating to enjoy your meal! They also do have merch so if you really want to.. you could get a souvenir! I ordered the large poutine and had the best breakfast ever. It wasn't the most healthy thing but it also didn't feel that way... was very pleased with how much flavor there was! Don't miss out on this if you're in Montreal.. plus there's a toys r us nearby you can pop in after! read more

Came for the Orange Julep, and left with my Orange Julep. It's basically an enclosed Hot Dog stand at the stadium type of deal. Nothing fancy, but it works! Was looking a bit more sad since we visited in the winter. Employees are young but friendly. It's definitely on the pricey side, but worth it for the Orange Julep. It's essentially a melted Orange creamsicle in drink form, and I am here for it. We visited Montreal for 5 days, and we came for the Julep 3 days out of the week. I wish they sold jugs of the Orange Julep at the grocery store! read more

The big orange ball really got us. We were driving past it, and thought they sold orange juice, which we really wanted as something refreshing. There was a short line but multiple windows to order from so it was quick. The staff was friendly and when we asked what was in the orange julep, they said it was a secret - family recipe. We ended up getting the pogo (corndog), poutine, and an orange julep. The pogo was a classic, not oily and actually a good balance between the hotdog and batter. The poutine was the classic version with gravy and cheese curds smothering the fries. The fries were a mix between crispy and soggy, of course the ones under the gravy would be soggier. It was piping hot and very warming to the belly, especially on a cold winter morning. The orange julep was delicious! I can see why people were ordering liters of it to go. The color was more of a light cream and it was sort of frothy. It reminded me of orange cream soda. It's a great fast casual spot to grab food to go! The orange julep is interesting since it's not just orange juice. It's on the sweeter side but still refreshing. read more

Came for the shiny orange, and stayed for the poutine and julep. What we ordered: - Hot dog: Nothing special. - Poutine: Solid poutine. Good flavor. The cheese curds had a light squeak. I wish the fries were a little crispier. - Julep: No one does it better than them. It was refreshing but kinda watery. There is a lot of parking. Service is pretty quick. There are some tables outside. read more

I have positive views overall about the place, but maybe just 'ok' as it felt a bit pricey. The food was solid and my wife said her burger was even better than expected. I had chili dogs which weren't exception but still perfectly enjoyable. The orange drink is a nice guilty pleasure that's super sweet, but the natural orange taste does come through. Very much what an Orange Julius original is like. The poutine is made with fresh cut fries and though perhaps not the pinnacle for the dish, it's still a solid choice. Probably a '4' for the food delivering on what it's meant to. But the value was a '3' at best. I get there's inflation affecting everything, but I felt it was quite expensive. read more

This spot was a minute from my hotel and I wouldn't have known about it if my friend hadn't mentioned it. A Montreal institution that's been around for over 75 years and can't be missed given the huge Orange. Naturally, a little queue on Saturday around noon. We Ordered the lunch combo. (2 hot dogs, fries & Julep) and #4 (Hot Dog, Poutine& Julep). Customer before me ordered their Hot Dog dressed which means everything on it. They make your food to order and the person who took your order packages it and hands it to you which I thought was a nice touch. The Julep reminded me of an Orange Julius drink. Freshly squeezed orange juice with sort of slushy consistency and very very sweet. Good but too sweet for me. Hot Dogs were okay & Poutine was very good. Unfortunately, they no longer offer Smoked Meat. Friendly service & Solid fast food/Takeout (serving breakfast all day) that I would imagine tastes even better after a night out given they're open til 4 am. read more

Gibeau was our first stop on our Montreal vacation. It was SO good we made sure to stop by again before we left. Iconic building, fast service, and delicious food with great deals with their trios. Their orange julep is truly addicting, it's fresh, smooth, and creamy -- next time we're getting a half gallon. Their poutine was delicious and filling, I adore their cheese curds and gravy. My boyfriend said their fully dressed hotdog was one of the best hotdogs he's ever had. And their pogos (corndogs) were nice and crispy. We can't wait to return back to Montreal because Gibeau is going to be the first place we're going to stop by. read more

Les hot-dogs sont très délicieux, soient-ils steamés, toasties, all dressed ou Michigan-style (et je dis ça sans être un grand fan des saucisses). La poutine italienne est vraiment excellente, aussi, et ça vient des frites bien croustillantes et de la sauce saveureuse. La boisson julep d'orange a d'un goût frais, rafraichissant et pas trop sucré. Le bâtiment est adorable et l'experience est inoubliable. Merci! read more

A must visit if you are planning a trip to Montreal. Though it is not part of the city core, it is still easy to get to we it's right off the highway. The service there is always very nice and though the workers are always very busy they still have lots of energy. When you visit, it's a pretty good deal to buy the jugs of julep. Getting your hot dog all dressed is also a must when visiting! Of course you should get the poutine while you're there as well. Though the price is a bit high, the quality for fast food like this is pretty high a tasty. In the summer time they also have another section that's gated off with picnic tables so there is lots of seating and if you're lucky you can find shade under the orange! read more

A friend recommended that we try the orange juice here !! Took us back to Sri lanka! The juice tasted just like the road side juice shops. Was a little too sweet for me but we absolutely enjoyed it !! Love it !! The shop was hard to miss. The girls at the counter were pretty nice to us. So service all in all was good ! The ambiance wasnt much to talk about, its just a regular shop! I know its very touristy! When we had our first thought was wait this is iust road side orange juice from back home but then we also understand that this isn't an everyday thing for most people! So if you ask me if id go again my answer would be not really, if its on the way a stop maybe but wouldn't go out of the way. read more

The building is very unique and a can't miss from the highway. It's basically a big orange! There is ample parking and easy to get to from the highway. This is not a fancy sit down place, but more of a fast food joint. We were looking forward to having their orange juice, but actually were disappointed. It's not traditional orange juice that you'd squeeze yourself. It taste a bit different, like a melty foamy creamsicle ice cream bar. It's a little sweet and "different" at the same time. It was worth a try for us, but not for us as we were looking for pure squeezed orange juice. The onion rings were very good, crispy and brown. The grilled hotdog was nice and we got it with ketchup. you can also get it with "dressing" which is a combination of traditional toppings that I cannot recall. The poutine was good if you're into poutine. Gravy was very good! Service was quick, and the lady that took my order was very friendly. They take Apple Pay for easy checkout. There are a few seats inside. The menu was expansive. read more

This is a Montreal Icon, and was our first stop on our stay in this beautiful city. Right on Boulevard Decarie, this giant orange in the highway is a must stop! After some long hours of driving, my family and I were eager to try their famous Julep, and we also were a bit hungry, so we ended up getting 2 of the Hot dogs, Poutine, and medium Julep trios. We were certainly not disappointed. The poutine and hot dogs were absolutely spectacular, which was a pleasant surprise considering we were expecting this to be an average food place with the Julep being the star of the show. We were impressed that they toasted the Hot dog bun! On the other hand, the Julep was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. It was like a really frothy orange juice. The staff is very friendly and bilingual si vous ne parlez pas français. Ample parking is available. Overall 9/10 read more

We got to Orange Julep past midnight after crossing the U.S. border, but we were really excited to have our first Canadian meal. The massive orange ball in the distance welcomed us with big open arms. But so did the throng of people lining up. We were shocked at how many people -- seemingly mostly locals -- were there at 1 a.m. My partner and I got a sundae, a small orange julep drink, poutine, and a hot dog for our late-night meal. The sundae tasted like any regular good sundae, but just like the poutine and hot dog -- not super memorable where I would crave them. The orange julep, however, was a different story. It reminded me of the creamsicle ice cream bar from my childhood that went nonexistent in my later years. I loooved the drink so much that I really didn't want to share with my partner. Thankfully, we picked up a jug of it to share with our friends in the airbnb later on in our trip. I highly recommend getting the drink. read more

Passed by Montreal so decide to try this place. It has a cute big orange you can't miss. We only got the large orange juice to share with 4 people, we think it's around 1L, it costs $10 with tax not cheap! They also have burgers and fries but we skipped as we had fast food for breakfast. Most people get the smaller version of orange juice, probably around 500ml for around $7. We found the juice taste good but it feels like mix with some other ingredients unlike those orange juice we got from supermarkets. Another thing we noticed is there are so many wasps when lining up, be careful!! I guess it's because of the sweetness of juice left around garage bins. read more

I was taken here by a Montreal local and I felt the place was not worth all the hype. The signature drink, the Orange Julep, was good and was different from other drinks I had in the past, and the atmosphere was interesting, sitting on a picnic table next to a giant orange across from the Pornhub HQ. However, the food was mediocre at best. The fries/poutine was subpar, especially considering we had come to Quebec to enjoy a Canadian classic that is only really done well in La Belle Province. It's nice to say we've been here, but I doubt I will be back unless it's to take a friend here in the future as it is a tourist attraction. read more

Cool place for late night eats at the giant orange building. There's actually a short line each time I came here, day and night. It goes by quick though. The orange julep drink is fantastic. It taste like an Orange Bang (an American drink) but better. It taste like fresh squeezed frothy orange juice and still has some pulps. It's quite sweet though and probably has a ton of sugar in it. The best thing is that the drink comes cold without ice! In the states all drinks comes with a ton of ice but not here. I ordered a regular all dressed hot dog too and that was quite tasty. It comes in a Hawaiian bread type bun and the bun was toasted to have a bit of crunch. Way better than a hot dog you get at a sports game. Great place to go during late nights and you want casual fast food that's better than McDonald's. read more
