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.

Extremely tasty Lebanese food. My friend & I started off with the variety plate of starters, which was an excellent start (especially the rikakat jebneh). We then split an entrée of filet mignon & an entrée of kebab khash-khash, both of which were delicious. The regular hummus was great as well, as were the sides that came with the meals. Overall, the food was a slam dunk. It's a pretty confined space, & the two of us sat directly in the middle, so we had to shuffle about a few times. Other than that, the vibes were good. It's literally the case that the restaurant was built out of someone's garage in their house.

The restaurant is quite small & has only a couple of seats so make sure to reserve a spot before coming to this restaurant. Also note that they only take reservations through websites so calling them won't help. The food was amazing. All the meats were quite tender & I really enjoyed the smokey flavours too. The ingredients were pretty good in quality & each dish had great flavours too. I do however find it a bit expensive, around 65$ for 5 skewers of meat which included 2 chickens, 1 filet mignon & 2 lambs. It's true that the quality is pretty good but I do still find it a bit more on the expensive side. The service was decent. The waiter that served us was polite & pretty fast considering he had to navigate inside the crowded restaurant.
