Review Summary

Garage Beirut receives broad praise for authentic Lebanese cuisine, with fresh, flavor-packed mezze and well executed grilled dishes like shish taouk, kebabs and kafta, along with crowd favorites such as hummus, baba ghannouj, labneh, muhammara and fattoush that many reviewers rate as standout or keeping a homey Beirut vibe. The atmosphere is described as cozy, intimate and welcoming, often compared to dining at a friend's house, and the service is usually friendly, attentive and efficient, though a few mentions of slow moments or crowded conditions exist. Reservations are commonly recommended because the space is small and usually busy, and some comments note that the restaurant can be pricey for portion sizes or that certain tasting plates feel expensive; a booking fee and occasional sound issues in a tight room are also cited by a minority. Overall Garage Beirut is regarded as one of the best Lebanese spots in the city, delivering authentic flavors, high quality ingredients and a memorable dining experience that keeps diners coming back.

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.

Some of the best middle eastern food I have eaten in Montreal.

A delightful Middle Eastern/Lebanese restaurant, everything was extremely delicious. Small place, so make sure to make a reservation. As always, the samplers are the best as you get a few bites of all the flavors!

Cozy Lebanese place downtown, with a variety of dishes. Fatteh hummus, a yogurt base with crispy pita, cashews, & pomegranate to top. Really crunchy with a great texture profile to accompany their tough flatbread. I really adored their sojok, a crumbly beef sausage that was salty with some Middle Eastern undertones. It came with pomegranate syrup for some sweet & sticky contrast. Garlic potatoes had a crispy exterior, slightly soft interior, appropriate amount of seasoning, & garlic sauce was nice but they put it in a shallow bowl & it got everywhere. Their kenafeh was a sweet, pastry, slightly wet from a syrup on a bed of cheese. It was fragile compared to the tough cheese & the taste was fine.

It was awesome. Highly recommended if you are a fan of middle eastern food. Definitely try tabule Salad & the kafta kebabs & also 4 assortments of mezzes

Great little spot for authentic middle-eastern food. The charcoal grilled chicken is delicious!

A quaint restaurant near downtown Montreal, in a lively neighborhood. The food is authentic & lovely. The fattoosh salad is great, & so is the stew (fatteh). Of course you can go for grilled meat or chicken, but that's the easy choice. Really one of the best places to each middle-eastern or Lebanese food in Montreal (in addition to Kaza Maza). Go early, call before you go, & reserve online if you can, the place isn't that spacious & can get congested quickly as the quality of the food is high & the prices are reasonable. Enjoy!

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!
