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.
Everything was amazing, friendly pressure free service. The food was delicious reminded me of the food I ate growing up with an elevated taste. We had kebeh naye, fattouche salad, hummus fateh, & black with mint chai. the ambience is warm &
welcoming. I recommend this hidden gem
The closest I've felt to being back in Lebanon from any restaurant in Montreal; the food, the relaxed atmosphere on a relatively relaxed downtown street. The staff also, it's all top.

Amazing spot for delicious Lebanese food. The staff are all so friendly & the cozy atmosphere is lovely. The food is so fresh & flavourful. Highly recommend!
This delicious restaurant was recommended to us by a friend, & we were so glad we ate there! The flavors & quality of the food was excellent. The service was great: fast, attentive, friendly. We loved the sample plates of Baba Ghannouj, Labneh, Muhammara, Hummus, Kibbeh, & the Kafta. It's a cozy setting for lunch. Highly recommended.
The place was so beautiful & the service was very attentive & quick! I did feel like the food was just decent for the price! But all good nevertheless!
Amazing spot. The food was amazing & the people there are really welcoming & friendly. We tried the cold & warm mezze as well as their kafta. Everything was great so are the desserts. Will definitely go back when we're visiting again.

Excellent authentic Lebanese food. Everything tasted fresh & delicious. The lamb kefta was 10/10, amazing. Great service & lovely waiters. Portions were a bit small, so order accordingly.

Feel Beirut bring back memory, a taste stay under your tongue tell next time you visit again , listen to fairuze & try to don't cry for old Beirut ooohhh god how much we missed it , thank you chef for the amazing bite ,
No need to go at damas & pay five time the price Beirut is better tastier & lovely destination,
I went in hoping to have dinner for 1 person quick & easy. All tables were busy/sitting dirty so I decided to do takeout which took over 25 mins. Tipped them 25% went back to my hotel to enjoy the salad & sandwich annnnnd they didn't put a fork for me. The sandwich was soooo dry & overcooked & asked for extra pickles (I joked & told the girl I was only there for the pickles) Do you see any pickles? Disappointed after I saw so many good reviews. Salad was mid (but it could be because it waited over an hour before I realized & could get a fork sent up to my room) & sandwich was awful.
Garage Beirut is an absolute gem in Montreal. The food was outstanding across the board, & the chicken shish taouk really stood out. It was tender, juicy, & full of flavor. The hummus & baba ghanouj were incredibly fresh, creamy, & perfectly seasoned. Everything we ordered tasted authentic & well prepared, & you could tell real care went into each dish. Overall, an amazing experience & I would recommend it to anyone looking for delicious, high quality Lebanese food.
