Daou Restaurant on Faillon street serves some of the city's best Lebanese home style cooking. Some dishes on the menu include: hummus with ground meat, stuffed grape leaves (yabrak), chicken, shrimps, minced lamb, filet mignon and delicately seasoned kabobs. Singer Céline Dion and her husband have enjoyed this casual restaurant on many occasions. Restaurant Daou also offers a great catering service.
Daou earns praise for delicious Lebanese cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere, with the mixed grill and sides like Fattouch, Hummus, and Muhamara described as flavorful and well prepared, and the grilled meats noted as well done and enjoyable. Some critiques point to dishes that were underseasoned, such as Fattouch missing vinegar and pomegranate sauce and Muhamara tasting bland. Overall the dining experience is considered strong, with several reviewers calling it one of the best Lebanese spots in Montreal, while others see it as a solid option rather than the top choice. Service is described as attentive and professional, adding to a pleasant, Montreal vibe.
Unfortunately, a very well-known restaurant for many years, the last few times we visited, the food was not fresh, Overpriced, the cook in the back was walking around with her gloves & touching everything in the dining room. We question whether or not she had changed her gloves in between mixing the salad. This will be our last visit.
Truly this resto sits on top in arabic restaurants in Montreal… The food is so fresh & tastes really authentic! Definitely coming back again. Thank you!

On a passer une agréable soirée au restaurant daou la décoration était typiquement libanaise se qui rendait l'endroit chaleureux déplus le service était formidable mais malheureusement le prix ainsi que la qualité de la nourriture servi était à désiré.
Le restaurant propose une cuisine correcte, bien que les prix suggèrent une qualité supérieure. Le service est excellent, mais l'ambiance mérite d'être améliorée. Dans l'ensemble, c'est un bon endroit pour découvrir les saveurs libanaises, sans toutefois être exceptionnel.
decent spot if you're craving Lebanese food, though not the best Montreal has to offer. I went with a friend & we ordered the mixed grill plate along with Fattouch, Hummus, & Muhamara. The Fattouch was missing vinegar & pomegranate sauce, & the Muhamara was quite bland & lacked flavor. On the bright side, the grilled meats were well done & enjoyable. I have other go-to spots for Middle Eastern cuisine, so I wouldn't call this my favorite, but it's not a bad option.
J'ai mangé ici aujourd'hui & j'ai tout simplement adoré ! La nourriture était délicieuse, bien présentée & pleine de saveurs. L'ambiance était agréable, & le service… incroyable ! Un grand merci au serveur qui a été super attentionné, souriant & professionnel tout au long du repas. Je reviendrai sans hésiter !
Tout était absolument délicieux! La salade fattouche est parmi les meilleurs que j'ai mangé. Les viandes étaients cuites à merveille & elles étaient assaisonnées avec soin en plus d'être bien juteuses. L'assortiment de hors d'oeuvre chaud er froid étaient aussi un régal! On a déjà hâte de revenir.
