Marven's Restaurant, Greek restaurant in Park Extension, Montreal, Canada
Marven's is a Greek restaurant on Ball Avenue in Park Extension, Montreal, serving grilled meats, seafood, mezze platters, and other traditional dishes. The kitchen works with fresh ingredients daily and prepares everything according to long-standing Greek recipes.
The restaurant opened in 1973, when Park Extension had already become the center of Montreal's Greek community after earlier Jewish residents had moved to other parts of the city. It has operated in the same neighborhood for over 50 years and is still run by the same family.
The name Marven's comes from the era when Greek families settled in Park Extension and made the neighborhood their own. Today, you can still hear Greek spoken at neighboring tables, and dishes are often shared the way they would be in a home kitchen.
The restaurant is on Ball Avenue and is open daily for both dine-in and takeout. If you prefer to order from home, delivery is available through third-party apps.
A mounted moose head hangs on the dining room wall, something you would not expect to find in a Greek restaurant. It sits right alongside photos of Greek landscapes, giving the room a mix that is hard to find anywhere else.
