Garage Beirut is described as a cozy, intimate spot where authentic Lebanese flavors shine through fresh, well balanced mezze and well seasoned grills, with many reviews praising the warm hospitality and attentive service. Diners highlight the hummus, baba ghanouj, kibbeh nayye, fattoush, and shish taouk as standout dishes, and the knafeh is often called the highlight of the night, while the atmosphere, decor, and sense of home make this a favorite in downtown Montreal. While the quality and flavors are repeatedly praised, some guests note small portions for the price and occasional service hiccups, and reservations can be highly recommended given the tiny space and busy evenings.
Mon père est libanais & je mange des mets libanais depuis toujours. Ce restaurant offre une qualité de nourriture extraordinaire. Le babaganoush (mutabbal) & le humus bayrut sont les meilleurs que j'ai mangé. Tout est délicieux & fait à la main. Le propriétaire est super sympathique & nous a dit que ce sont des recettes de sa mère. Il s'agit de nourriture authentique libanaise avec des techniques ancestrales. La facture est un peu élevée, rien d'exageré, mais on en a vraiment pour notre argent considérant que tout est fait à la main avec authenticité. Un très bon deal quand on veut s'offrir un repas mémorable avec des gens qu'on aime. Je vais y retourner régulièrement.
It was my first time visiting this restaurant & my 1st true authentic Lebanese fare. I had arak (alcohol) tastes like black licorice, kebeh, fattouch salad, kebabs. So flavorful! The place is tiny, about 10 tables.

I've been in Montreal for five years & I can't believe I only had dinner at Garage last night. The food was incredible. One thing I really value about this restaurant is its authenticity & how the food is simply well done - Lebanese food as it should be - not an overpriced, complicated'story' of a dish.
Their kibbeh nayye was exactly how we'd eat it back home & it was amazing. The hummus, muhammara, cheese rolls, lahme sambusik, meat fatteh… wow.
Great experience, great ambiance, & great service. Thanks, Garage!
Absolutely outstanding experience at Garage Beirut! The food is truly authentic, rich in flavour & beautifully prepared, easily one of the best Lebanese meals I've had in Montreal. The hospitality was equally impressive. Alex & Yousaf his team provided exceptional customer service, making us feel genuinely welcomed & well taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine & a great dining experience in downtown Montreal.
I asked a Lebanese person to suggest a good resto & he said this one has authentic Lebanese food. The food was delicious & the service was excellent. You need a reservation. Access is easy from the orange or green line.
An authentic Lebanese cuisine restaurant. Highly recommended! The team there is very friendly & the hospitality is great! The place is cozy & the food is delicious! This restaurant is on my favorites list!
Excellent authentic Lebanese food. Everything tasted fresh & delicious. The lamb kefta was 10/10, amazing. Great service & lovely waiters. Portions were a bit small, so order accordingly.
Garage Beirut is an absolute gem in Montreal. The food was outstanding across the board, & the chicken shish taouk really stood out. It was tender, juicy, & full of flavor. The hummus & baba ghanouj were incredibly fresh, creamy, & perfectly seasoned. Everything we ordered tasted authentic & well prepared, & you could tell real care went into each dish. Overall, an amazing experience & I would recommend it to anyone looking for delicious, high quality Lebanese food.
Garage Beirut is such a gem! 🇱🇧 The food is fresh, flavourful, & full of that homemade taste - every bite reminds me why I keep coming back. Their mezze is always generous & delicious, the grilled meats are perfectly seasoned, & the atmosphere feels warm & welcoming. Service is friendly & attentive every single time. Been a loyal customer for years - highly recommend if you want authentic Lebanese flavours done right!
To the owner: you need to fix the sound issue. The restaurant was full & we were a group of 7, & we could not hear each other due to the massive echo from everyone talking in the restaurant. Your restaurant is tiny but still had this effect. You need to put in some insolation such as carpet, curtains,plants, acoustic panels.. if not, this restaurant is absolutely horrible for groups. The entire night we couldn't hear what two people down would say.
The food is okay, I am not Lebanese so I can't judge if the food is authentic, but it did taste good. The waitresses are super nice.
Yusuf was amazing so welcoming & had a great experience. We drove up from Ottawa & we were not disappointed. Tasting authentic Lebanese food made us feel like we're home.
Thank you Garage Beirut
My favorite Middle East restaurant in downtown. Sandwich is also available for takeout. Authentic Lebanese food served in casual atmosphere. Friendly service. Good food. Highly recommended.
