Review Summary

Daou is frequently praised for its authentic, flavorful Lebanese comfort food and legendary garlic sauce, with many guests highlighting the fresh grilled dishes and welcoming, nostalgic atmosphere. While the service is consistently described as excellent and the portions are often generous, some visitors feel that the interior decor is dated and note that the pricing does not always align with the quality of certain dishes. Overall, it serves as a reliable neighborhood spot for traditional Middle Eastern cuisine, though experiences regarding the consistency of flavor and value can vary among diners.

J'avais très hâte d'aller manger à ce restaurant après avoir écouté plusieurs émissions de télévision vantant les plats, mais j'ai été terriblement déçue ! Le personnel est très bête, surtout l'hôtesse, le service n'est pas très bon, j'avais demandé d'avoir moitié frites moitié riz pour accompagner ma grillade de filet mignon, mais le serveur ma dit que ce n'était pas possible. Ma grillade de filet mignon était bonne, les frites étaient ordinaires. L'ambiance était fort ennuyante, le décor est affreux & laisse terriblement à désirer, les toilettes sont mal entretenues avec des graffitis sur les portes des cabines. Ce n'est vraiment pas un endroit pour organiser un souper festif entre amis. Je ne le recommande pas, ce n'est vraiment pas un bon rapport qualité prix. Le seul commentaire positif, le vin libanais était exquis. Les prix des plats sont trop élevés.
