Marathon Souvlaki Laval, Greek restaurant in Laval, Canada.
Marathon Souvlaki Laval is a Greek restaurant in Laval, Quebec, that focuses on grilled meat dishes such as souvlaki and gyros, served with house-made tzatziki. The menu is straightforward, with a small number of core dishes prepared to order.
The restaurant opened in 1977 and was among the first in the Laval area to serve souvlaki. Its early presence helped introduce Greek food to a part of Quebec where it was largely unknown at the time.
Marathon Souvlaki Laval is one of the few places in the area that grills souvlaki over charcoal in the traditional Greek way. The smell of the meat cooking draws people in before they even reach the door.
The restaurant works well for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner since the dishes are prepared fast. Going outside of the midday rush tends to make the experience more comfortable.
The name refers to the ancient Greek runner of Marathon, which connects the restaurant to an idea of endurance and staying power. That connection feels fitting for a place that has been serving the same dishes in the same spot for close to 50 years.
