Ever order something that sounds great on paper, but ends up feeling… underwhelming? We’ve all been there. You’re hungry, you want something filling but still fresh, and you don’t want to settle for another bland takeout box.
That’s exactly why so many people across Quebec are hooked on one thing lately: the Hercules Bowl. It’s become a go-to for anyone who craves bold Mediterranean flavors in a way that actually satisfies.
In this blog, we’re diving into why the Hercules Bowl has earned such a loyal following. From what people love about it to why it keeps showing up on “best of” lists, here’s everything you need to know about Quebec’s favorite Greek bowl.
What’s Inside the Hercules Bowl?
The Hercules Bowl doesn’t just check the boxes of a balanced meal; it overdelivers with every bite. So, what’s packed into this local favorite?
You’ll find tender pieces of marinated souvlaki: smoky, juicy, and full of Mediterranean spice, paired with savory slices of gyro that bring a touch of indulgence. That’s your double protein hit, but it doesn’t stop there.
The base is a generous mix of fluffy rice and classic Greek lemon potatoes: soft, golden, and tangy with just the right hint of olive oil and herbs. Add in a fresh Salade Grecque for crunch and brightness, and you’ve got a combination that balances richness with refreshment.
Then come the sauces, thick, creamy tzatziki made with real yogurt and cucumber, a bold spicy sauce to wake up your taste buds, and crumbles of salty feta that tie it all together.
You’ve got protein, carbs, greens, and bold Greek flavors layered in one hearty, satisfying bowl. It’s the kind of dish that fills you up without weighing you down.
Bonus? It’s fully customizable. Prefer no spicy sauce? Want extra salad instead of potatoes? You can make it yours. Whether you’re following a high-protein lifestyle, looking for a balanced lunch, or simply treating yourself to something indulgent yet fresh, the Hercules Bowl adapts.
