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.

Super small & cramped place but did not feel claustrophobic, it's more cozy! Came by without a reservation for lunch (2 people) & was lucky to get a seat. We shared pita, rice, chicken shish taouk & fatteh hummus with beef. The pita was fresh. Shish Taouk: lovely, grilled to perfection, came with creamy, yummy garlic sauce that went very quickly, comes with pickles & some weird pizza looking situation with onions which I did not try but looked good. Fatteh Hummus: a bit disappointed because they were really light on the beef but I've seen photos where they really gave a lot. The crunchy pita chips in the dip were WAY to oily - the establishment would benefit from getting crispy without tons of oil. I genuinely think this dip would've been better with garlic or tzatziki added to it. It was missing a brightness/acid which made it bit plain. The rice was just rice. All in all, I enjoyed my meal & was pretty stuffed. This cost us about $60 before tip.

Lovely Lebanese restaurant! Everything was delicious, we got the dip taster cold & hot mezze, then the mixed grilled meat. Def recommend (but it's quite small so make a rez!)

Small place with great food. Went there with a friend before a show. We ordered their dip sampler, & the baba ghannouj was our favourite. Then we got the shish taouk & the kaftan plate, with a side of potatoes. All were very delicious. Portion sizes were very generous & service was very quick. Looking forward to going back soon.

Most authentic Lebanese restaurant in Montreal! I had the Dip Taster, which was delicious & beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the Muhammara dip. Excellent & very helpful service, in a warm & homey atmosphere. Highly recommend! I only wish that they made falafel sandwiches.

Very expensive for what you got. Small portions, & food was good, but nothing incredible. Unlimited pita bread, but it seemed like the same type you can just buy in the grocery store. Dips were drenched in olive oil, chicken was good but small portion for $25. We were disappointed.

we ordered the dip taster, pastry plate, moussaka, grilled halloumi, kebab khash khash, fatteh hummus, & garlic potatoes. all were yummy but our favorites were the garlic potatoes (hard 2 to go wrong), moussaka (the eggplant was very flavorful despite appearances), muhammara red pepper dip & the baba ghannouj. their hummus is lowkey whatever & halloumi is not worth it. the kebab was adequately juicy but not spicy as advertised. pita is whatever. altogether yummy but nothing spectacular cost wise, $30+ after tip & tax split between 5 people with a little bit food leftover. online reservation required input of credit card information & there is a 15 minute grace period before your table gets forfeited to the next waiting customers. it's a small restaurant with max capacity of like 30ish people so it makes sense. you should probably make a reservation to eat here
