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.
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!
Une expérience très intime avec la cuisine Libanaise. Une petite salle à manger, de la cuisine de très haute qualité & un service hors-pair par des employés très attentionnés. Je serai de retour. P.S.: Beaucoup d'option végétariennes, pour ceux qui le désirent.

Great place. Wonderful food & service. We got lucky & they squeezed us in. The hummus is amazing. The pita is fresh & warm. The beef was great. The service was very good. They made space for us without reservations. It was a tight space but with a pleasant atmosphere. They seemed to have a lot of takeouts as well.
Excellent traditional Lebanese restaurant (with & excellent quality-ratio price). The place is small but nice & the service is very good too. Highly recommended.

I love lebanese cuisine & this place was really good! The staff were really nice, polite & friendly! The food was good too! We got Sojok & I loved it! That was really delicious! We also got Fatteh lamb & Shish Taouk chili & it was really good too! Overal, liked the place & the food!
This place needs 10 stars. By far one of the best restaurants I've ever been to - from the quaint dining experience to the authentic taste of the food, to the excellent customer service - best experience ever. The garlic potatoes are phenomenal, & the mixed platter is a great deal. The tabouli is SO good too!! Highly highly recommend!!!
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!
Excellent quality & portions of food. The care put into service & food is very apparent & appreciated. A pleasant cozy vibe perfect for conversation & sharing a wonderful time with family or friends
O melhor árabe que comi em montreal! O kibe frito é maravilhoso e tem um molho super delicioso! A salada fatoush muito boa (a porção “side” já tem um tamanho bom). Se estiver em mais de 2 pessoas, vale a pena reservar! O restaurante é pequeno e sempre está cheio
