Review Summary

Garage Beirut is widely regarded as an authentic gem in Montreal, celebrated for its high-quality Lebanese cuisine, cozy atmosphere, and exceptionally warm service. Many guests praise the freshness and depth of flavor in dishes like the dip platters, grilled meats, and traditional mezze, often highlighting the restaurant's ability to recreate the nostalgic, homemade feel of classic Lebanese cooking. While the majority of diners find the food outstanding and the staff highly accommodating, some visitors express concerns regarding pricing, noting that portions can feel small relative to the cost. Additionally, due to the restaurant's small size and popularity, reservations are strongly recommended, though a few patrons have noted challenges with noise levels during busy hours or inconsistent experiences with portion sizes and value.

This place needs 10 stars. By far one of the best restaurants I've ever been to - from the quaint dining experience to the authentic taste of the food, to the excellent customer service - best experience ever. The garlic potatoes are phenomenal, & the mixed platter is a great deal. The tabouli is SO good too!! Highly highly recommend!!!

4.0

Overall, it was a good experience. There were a few things that could've been better. Paying 20$ for a few pieces of shish taouk was a little expensive considering it didn't come with any sides, but still, it was very flavourful. Growing up as an Armenian/Lebanese, food was an abundance, & I find most Middle Eastern restaurants lack that. But again, it's a restaurant, I get it. Overall, everything tasted pretty authentic, & I would recommend this restaurant! I would definitely come back!
