This hidden gem is the best & most authentic Lebanese food I've ever had. It should be counted among the best restaurants in the city.

The food was good if a little overcooked. But the flavors & service were great!

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.

Second time coming to Montreal & dining at the Garage Beirut. Affordable & amazing Lebanese food in town. Everything is tasty & the right portions to share. You won't regret.

4 out of 5. Service was great but i found the food was itemized to maximize profits. For example the meat was separated from the sides forcing you to order more. Ed

Atmosphere:

The place itself is tiny. Tried to get a reservation on same day via website, & it was apparently fully booked... decided to go anyway hoping we may be able to sit if we waited a little bit; Lo & behold, the place was completely empty??? So no wait time for us (yay!)

Service:

Service was quick & courteous without more... exchanged maybe 15 words with the waitress from start to finish.

Food:

We ordered
- Fattouch salad
- Cold mezzes tasting plater (hummus, baba ganouj, labneh & muhamara for 22$)
- Hot mezze tasting plater (patries - for 24$)
- kibbeh neye (raw beef with bulgur)

The kibbeh neye was good; its price,quality & quantity in line with other good libanese/syrian restaurants.

The fattoush salad was a ~mess~:
For 18$ I expect more salad than the size of my hand or at the very least a good quality salad. The salad was extremely bland; aside from the fresh mint & overly generous pomegranate molasses drizzle on top there was no identifiable dressing. There were giant chunks of tomatoes (1 1/2' thick), & about 3 large pieces of libanese cucumber.

The cold mezze were ~VERY~ expensive for their price & the quality was frankly not there. This was the worst baba banouj we've ever tasted (doubtful they even put salt in there), the muhamara was... okay, the labneh was a complete bust (plain, store-bought quality labneh decorated with ~dried~ mint. There was about 2 table spoons' worth of dip in every tiny bowl.

The hot mezzes were really good - again, too expensive for the size.

Overall I do not recommend this place.

Meat is well seasoned, but the hummus is lacking flavour… for the price, I would expect better quality ingredients. Good service & good atmosphere though!
