Review Summary

Garage Beirut is widely regarded as an authentic gem in Montreal, celebrated for its high-quality Lebanese cuisine, cozy atmosphere, and exceptionally warm service. Many guests praise the freshness and depth of flavor in dishes like the dip platters, grilled meats, and traditional mezze, often highlighting the restaurant's ability to recreate the nostalgic, homemade feel of classic Lebanese cooking. While the majority of diners find the food outstanding and the staff highly accommodating, some visitors express concerns regarding pricing, noting that portions can feel small relative to the cost. Additionally, due to the restaurant's small size and popularity, reservations are strongly recommended, though a few patrons have noted challenges with noise levels during busy hours or inconsistent experiences with portion sizes and value.

Had this one on Google map list for a while, & …

Oo-La-La! It does not disappoint! What did I have? The Shish Taouk Chili, bien suhr! & that was only after the savory sambousik lahmeh. A hard choice over the moussaka, but one must have a reason to return. Joining this repast was a small glass of Arak to help complement the flavors. & a small cardamom coffee to close before heading into a winters afternoon. Fantastique! Will be back, as there's more to explore.

The place is very great & cultural. As someone from Lebanon, I felt very included. The food was great & very quick. There were multiple options to choose from & the ones we got were all delicious. The service was very fast. The place itself is a little small but cozy & very enjoyable. The owner is very nice & knows how to take care of his customers! I would most definitely go again!

La bouffe est délicieuse & à l'air d'être faite maison. On a commandé des sambusik lahmeh (chaussons à la viande) & des fatayeh sbenigh (chaussons aux épinards) très exquis. Les frites maison étaient corrects & le dessert mafroukeh (semoule caramélisées surmonté de ricotta, noix grillés & pistaches) était décadante, une délice!!! Le serveur très accueillant & gentil. On doit considérer que l'assiette n'a pas de féculents, on doit les commander séparément, pas d'accompagnement inclus. Petit bémol, le resto est trop petit, ils manquent d'espace, les tables sont trop collées les uns avec les autres.
