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.
We were a group of 10 & we ordered everything on the menu, it was one of the best experience in Montréal. The portions are very good compared to other lebanese restaurants, & the food was just perfect. If you want a good lebanese dinner, this is the best one for sure in dowtown/montréal, it's a bit pricy but it's worth it.
That day I felt like eating Shish Taouk so I thought of Garage Beirut; & I was well served. I enjoyed the Fatoush but not the Fatayer Sbenegh as much. That's why I didn't give the food 5 stars. The service was very good. The place can use some renovation, hence the 4 stars for the atmosphere. All in all, a good experience.
Only downside I can think of is how crammed tables are/I wish the space was bigger to accommodate more people... otherwise the food & service are excellent!
Every single dish was full of complex flavors. The bread & each of the 4 different spreads were fresh. The Lebanese coffee was an outstanding finish to the meal!

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
