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.
Small place with great food. Went there with a friend before a show. We ordered their dip sampler, & the baba ghannouj was our favourite. Then we got the shish taouk & the kaftan plate, with a side of potatoes. All were very delicious. Portion sizes were very generous & service was very quick. Looking forward to going back soon.
Der Service war top, wir wurden gut beraten was die Menge an Speisen anging. Essen war super lecker :) die Location ist recht klein also definitiv vorher reservieren
Truly emulates the Lebanese palate. Probably best Balilla, Soujouk, & Arayes among the various Lebanese & Syrian restaurants in the greater Montreal area.
A delightful Middle Eastern/Lebanese restaurant, everything was extremely delicious. Small place, so make sure to make a reservation. As always, the samplers are the best as you get a few bites of all the flavors!
My favorite Middle East restaurant in downtown. Sandwich is also available for takeout. Authentic Lebanese food served in casual atmosphere. Friendly service. Good food. Highly recommended.
Super amazing: service, atmosphere, the taste of authentic Lebanese. The simplicity of the place that makes this place like a palace. Really has the feeling of home in all aspects. Highly recommend.
Very authentic little restaurant, all Lebanese (waiters speak Arabic). Service fast & friendly. Good thing too because the place is TINY & gets packed at night. Barely enough room for everybody, like eating in a submarine. Outside seating is ok, but small, light wooden tables. Paper napkins. WC is ok but tiny & only one (queue). Food was quite good but portions felt small, not quite enough. We needed to order potatoes. The pita bread was simply bad, stale almost, wrapped in cheap plastic, cold. This could be an easy fix. Not good. The friend halloumi cheese was well done, as were the French fries & garlic potatoes (needed for satiety). The kebabs were ok, not great. The hummus again, ok (where's the oil? where's the red spice on top). The vegetables, frugal serving at best (3 tomato slices, 3 cucumber slices, that's all). Might be tolerable but...prices are sky-rocket high. Without drinks of any kind, you cannot escape
