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.

My friends & I traveled to Montreal for the first time & this was the first dinner location we tried. Lebanese food was new to most of us but we were excited to try! The atmosphere & interactions felt very cozy & personal, almost like we were joining someone's home for dinner.

The food was delicious! Being new to Lebanese, I was so excited to see many vegetarian options as well! I unfortunately did not get any pictures of the food! We tried the dip taster that allowed us to try lots of smaller plates of hummus, baba ghannouj, labneh, & muhammara. We had the tabbouleh & vegetarian kibbeh as well. But the star of the show for me was the fried cheese, rikakat jebneh!

Will definitely visit again if I come back to Montreal! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!

This delicious restaurant was recommended to us by a friend, & we were so glad we ate there! The flavors & quality of the food was excellent. The service was great: fast, attentive, friendly. We loved the sample plates of Baba Ghannouj, Labneh, Muhammara, Hummus, Kibbeh, & the Kafta. It's a cozy setting for lunch. Highly recommended.
