Gibeau Orange Julep

Gibeau Orange Julep is a Montreal fast-food restaurant and roadside landmark famed for its giant orange-shaped building on Décarie Boulevard, a striking example of mimetic architecture. The business began in 1932 when Hermas Gibeau started selling his trademark orange drink, first at Belmont Park and then from a storefront on rue Sherbrooke Est. The orange form became central to the brand at a Décarie location built in 1945, and the current larger structure, designed by architect Olius P. Bois, dates to a 1966 rebuild after the road became the Décarie Expressway. As the last surviving Orange Julep, it remains a distinctive symbol of nostalgic Montreal.
