About

Daou delivers an authentic exploration of Lebanese culinary traditions through a menu defined by robust flavors and precise preparations. Patrons encounter a wide array of classic mezze including velvety hummus, smoky baba ghanoush, and crispy falafel that anchor the traditional dining experience. The kitchen emphasizes the use of fresh herbs, high-quality tahini, and charcoal-grilled meats served alongside warm, pillowy pita bread. Each dish reflects a commitment to Middle Eastern seasoning profiles featuring sumac, zaatar, and garlic. The interior space offers a straightforward environment focused on the functionality of the meal rather than decorative embellishments. This establishment remains a dependable destination for those seeking consistent, culturally significant preparations of regional staples. The menu focuses on high-volume production of staple plates that prioritize structural integrity and traditional spice blends over modern fusion techniques.

I'm Lebanese, & this place seriously beats every Lebanese restaurant I've been to for a very long time

Daou offers top of the line Lebanese food. You can’t go wrong, the whole menu is delicious. Their meat melts in you mouth like a butter cookie (pause).

When there’s private parties the parking gets pretty full, so just park next door in the strip mall; next to Tim Hortons.

Une cuisine plus qu' excellente. C'était frais, bien assaisonné. Le hic majeur, notre serveuse était tellement négligée, genre tu te couches avec ta couette & tu la ferais pas & tu as dormi avec tes vêtements. Je ne m'explique pas un tel laissez-aller pour un travail avec le public. Avoir inviter des gens j'aurais été extrêmement gênée.

We went there at 5PM with a 2-year old & a 4-year old. We went there early on purpose because we had young kids. Our kids started running around the table. There were only about 6 tables occupied by guests, yet the manager thought that she should intervene, so she came & told us to keep our kids quiet! They had been running for literally not even 20 seconds! I kid you not! If you have kids &/or like kids, do not go there! Trust me, if the kids had run for more than a minute, we would have told them to stop. Shame on Restaurant Daou!

I respect the fact that they have been existing for 20 years but they need to pick it up a notch. They consider themselves a great restaurant but they should act like one. For example, offering "Mouton Cadet" as wine is very passé. I had 2 large lemon chicken breasts served only with a mountain of fried rice in a very small plate, nothing else. Presentation & elegance was to be desired. The rice was falling off the sides! My wife had the small "fish du jour" with fries ($29 + tax) & to drink, I had a soft drink served in a can... Service was good...considering there was only 3 couples in a large illuminated restaurant on a Thursday night. To end it all, the waiter did not bring me the bill, told me to go to the cashier counter in order to pay. Much too pricey to appreciate. Probably good for Groups that like average food. Not good for romantic ambiance. I will not go back. Feb 2015.

I have been a regular at this restaurant for many years. I am vegan & they have a large selection available for vegans. I recommend the yaprak vine leaves (vegetable), fattoush, tabbouleh, vegetable kebbe, hummus tahini, loubieh, & the Hendbeh. The food is fresh & the service is always very friendly & efficient..this is why it continues to be one of my favourites.

This has been one of our favourites for many years. Excellent food with an ample choice. Although the service can be a bit slow & cold the overall experience is great.
The odd times when there has been an issue they were quick to correct the problem. Having travelled around the world I have never been in a restaurant that did not occasionally have an error or problem, however they are quick to correct & compensate. Whereas other restaurants in Montreal may correct they rarely if ever compensate.

I live in the area & have always heard good things about this restaurant so I finally had a chance to check it out.

I can't believe I took so long to discover this little gem. Food was fresh & well prepared.

Service was very good. We had a new waiter but a more experience waiter kept an eye on things & it all worked well.

A little pricey. But I don't mind paying for good food. I'll be back!
