Review Summary

Daou is described as a decades old Lebanese spot where care goes into homestyle and family style cooking. The menu highlights favorites like fattoush, hummus, baba ganoush, warm vine leaves stuffed with meat and rice, and a mixed plate of chicken filet mignon with fries and rice. Reviews consistently note reliable quality, fresh flavors, and a cozy authentic atmosphere, making it a go to for family dinners and gatherings. Some comments mention small portions for the price and that it is fairly expensive for what is offered, with a dated decor and room for improvement in the vibe. The location in St Laurent is convenient with free parking, and the menu also includes raw meat options and a filet mignon cooked to perfection, with dessert if there is room.

I've been coming here for over 30 years. We were a medium sized group & the service was absolutely awful. I had to get the attention of the waiter numerous times to fill our water. The waiter never came around to check how we were doing. The waiter brought the small birthday cake. He did not give us plates, he did not ask us if we wanted tea, coffee or dessert. We waited at least 15 minutes after eating the birthday cake & we had to wave to him to get his attention to bring the bill. When i mentioned to him how come he never offered us dessert or coffee or tea or fruit, he pointed to the tiny piece of birthday cake & said that's your dessert.We left a very small tip. Extremely disappointed after all these years. Will not be going back.

Très décevant! Les salades faites trop d avance baignent dans leurs vinaigrettes. Le poulet shish taouk & la sauce à l'ail sans goût. Les fèves & les rouleaux de fromage très ordis. Ce qui était bon: Brochette de filet mignon. Délicieux. Muhamara. Excellent. Leur riz est exquis. De bons Cosmos Service gentil On y retourne? Malheureusement pas.

Best lebanese food in all of northern America.

On a commandé deux sandwiches à la viande & deux desserts (katayef) à emporter. À notre surprise, la facture était de 65$. La qualité des sandwiches laissait à désirer : le pain pita était mou avec très peu de morceaux de viande. Quant au dessert, il était mauvais qu'on avait la misère à le digérer....

I have been recommended to try this place long time ago . We went on a slow day which was good for us. Thr food is typically lebanese , old school. I ordered a lot of appetizer, most of them were great. The fatoush however could be enhanced & was salty, it lacks too many items if I am comparing to thr remaining app. The Main dish had chicken( excellent ) , kafta ( don't try it ) & meat ( ok, but could be better). I found it too expensive for what I was getting. We ordered app & one main dish with 2 soft drink & a beer. The service was good & friendly. The only downside of this place is it is tooooo old, urgently need à to be revamped, but I guess people likes it that way. I always compare resto with the one from dubai & believe the difference is crazy.

This is an old school & traditional family run restaurant. No glitz no glam, simple & straight forward. We ordered traditional hummus, which was super smooth & tasty. Fattouch & tabouleh which were fresh & well seasoned. We also got the coriander potatoes which were drowning in lemon juice along with shish kebab, kafta, lamb & salmon. The meats & fish were all cooked perfectly. We did find that everything was salty & overall all had a very citrusy taste which isn't necessarily bad but lacked diversity. The waiters are friendly & quick & we left feeling quite full as the portions are very generous. The other customers were all Lebanese so i think this is definitely a favourite for some.

Food is good. Although too expensive for what you're getting. Daou used to be more affordable but now I feel is no longer worth it. Shame I won't be going back as often.

Tout était délicieux ! Nous avons particulièrement aimé les feuilles de vigne & le filet mignon. Nous y retournerons certainement ! Par contre, toujours la même chanson en boucle sur la télévision...

Nous avons réservé pour une fête , le personnel est très agréable. L'ambiance & les lieux impeccable. Que dire de la nourriture & cuisson parfaite, je vous recommande les poitrines de poulet & bien sûr le filet mignon & l'incontournable humus sans oublier les feuilles de vignes à la viande tout simplement exquis.
