Garage Beirut is described as a cozy, intimate spot where authentic Lebanese flavors shine through fresh, well balanced mezze and well seasoned grills, with many reviews praising the warm hospitality and attentive service. Diners highlight the hummus, baba ghanouj, kibbeh nayye, fattoush, and shish taouk as standout dishes, and the knafeh is often called the highlight of the night, while the atmosphere, decor, and sense of home make this a favorite in downtown Montreal. While the quality and flavors are repeatedly praised, some guests note small portions for the price and occasional service hiccups, and reservations can be highly recommended given the tiny space and busy evenings.
Garage Beruit has incredible food! The depth of the flavor in everything we ordered was remarkable! It's one of the best meals I've ever eaten. We ordered the 4 dips on the appetizer menu & each one had a unique flavor drizzled with the best fruity tasting olive oil. We also ordered the 4 deep fried appetizers. The round darker colored one (sorry I don't speak French & I don't remember what it was called) was delicious! The spices in it complemented each other perfectly to create a warm bite of heaven. Then we got the chicken skewer as well. The chicken was perfectly well done, but not over done-juicy & well spiced. Compliments to the chef for a meal I will never forget!
One of the best meals we've had in a long time. We tried a few of the samplers & some kabobs & everything was full of flavor & perfectly cooked. The staff were very friendly & gracious. We wish we were from here & could go more often!
I really enjoy the food & service here, both are excellent. However, I don't think it's reasonable to have to pay just to book a table, especially when I'll already be paying for food, drinks, & tips. Since the restaurant is located downtown, a last-
minute cancellation is unlikely to affect them much. The food is delicious, though quite expensive. Because of the booking fee, I've chosen not to return, which is unfortunate given how much I enjoy the experience otherwise

Garage Beirut is such a gem! 🇱🇧 The food is fresh, flavourful, & full of that homemade taste - every bite reminds me why I keep coming back. Their mezze is always generous & delicious, the grilled meats are perfectly seasoned, & the atmosphere feels warm & welcoming. Service is friendly & attentive every single time. Been a loyal customer for years - highly recommend if you want authentic Lebanese flavours done right!
To the owner: you need to fix the sound issue. The restaurant was full & we were a group of 7, & we could not hear each other due to the massive echo from everyone talking in the restaurant. Your restaurant is tiny but still had this effect. You need to put in some insolation such as carpet, curtains,plants, acoustic panels.. if not, this restaurant is absolutely horrible for groups. The entire night we couldn't hear what two people down would say.
The food is okay, I am not Lebanese so I can't judge if the food is authentic, but it did taste good. The waitresses are super nice.
Second time coming to Montreal & dining at the Garage Beirut. Affordable & amazing Lebanese food in town. Everything is tasty & the right portions to share. You won't regret.
