Garage Beirut is described as a cozy, intimate spot where authentic Lebanese flavors shine through fresh, well balanced mezze and well seasoned grills, with many reviews praising the warm hospitality and attentive service. Diners highlight the hummus, baba ghanouj, kibbeh nayye, fattoush, and shish taouk as standout dishes, and the knafeh is often called the highlight of the night, while the atmosphere, decor, and sense of home make this a favorite in downtown Montreal. While the quality and flavors are repeatedly praised, some guests note small portions for the price and occasional service hiccups, and reservations can be highly recommended given the tiny space and busy evenings.
A late entry, visited early March- small & cozy place with great authentic Lebanese cuisine. Loved the Sojok, hummus bi lahmé, arrayess, fattouch & everything else we ordered. I wish we have similar authentic Lebanese food in Miami!

Great place for an authentic Lebanese meal. I'd highly recommend the Kibbeh Nayyeh & the Fattouche. Our waitress was warm & attentive, her service really enhanced our meal. The Kenafeh was excellent with the Mafroukeh a close second. Would definitely visit again.
Loved the food & the atmosphere. Place is kinda tight though. Waitress was cute as well. She knew what pomegranate molasses was in Arabic which was funny. Would def come back again :)
I've eaten in this restaurant a couple of times & usually I'm taking the Kibbeh Nayyeh, mezza plates selection & the mixed grill. This time we wanted to try some different dishes alongside the Kibbeh Nayyeh that is still unique & tasty. We took the Sujuk which was very flavorful, the Shanklish which was a bit bland, the Shish taouk which needed more spices & the kebab which was a bit dry. In the past, I enjoyed much more from the food there. I hope they will improve soon because they have a lot of potential (& I think the only restaurant in Mtl that serves Kibbeh Nayyeh:).

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 $25. We were disappointed.
It was awesome. Highly recommended if you are a fan of middle eastern food. Definitely try tabule Salad & the kafta kebabs & also 4 assortments of mezzes
A very cozy & small place, definitely loved the vibe & subtle decor. My partner & I went for Valentine's day!! The food is quite expensive for the portions. However, no complaints about the food besides the portion size. This place was recommended by my partner's patient, & it was a hit for us! If we were to go back we'd order a larger plate & hopefully the portion will be reasonable. We ordered the hummus & the cheese. The cheese was extraordinary, & I would definitely order again, would have liked more vegetables considering it was almost 20$ for cheese & some cucumbers & tomatoes. The servers were super friendly & they were attentive, came to ask how we were doing, & even changed our reservation spot because we had asked to he near a window. Would love to come here again!
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.
