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.

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.

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.

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.
