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.
Good spot for Lebanese food. The staff was so helpful, assisting us in choosing the right dishes & how much we should order quantity-wise for the group.
Garage Beirut offers an exceptional Mediterranean dining experience with its Lebanese mezze & charcoal-grilled meats. The atmosphere is cozy & the manager Naji extremely accommodating. The mezze, including creamy hummus, exquisite muhamarra, refreshing tabbouleh, mouth watering sujok , & freshly stuffed grape leaves, was outstanding. The mixed grill platter we shared between 3 people had a generous portion of chicken & beef kebabs, was grilled to perfection with a smoky, tender, & juicy flavor. The knowledgeable & attentive staff added to the delightful experience. For anyone who loves Mediterranean cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit, earning a well-deserved five-star rating.
This is undeniably the best Lebanese restaurant in Montréal. Every dish tastes & looks perfectly authentic. My recommendations are the fatteh dishes, muhammara, & baba ghanouj. I've visited Garage Beirut plenty of times in the last six years & can attest that the quality of their food has remained top-notch.
🔝 Empfehlung. Wir waren auf der Suche nach einem Restaurant. Hier wurden wir bestens fündig. Guter und netter Service, dieser wurde durch das leckere Essen sogar nochmals überboten. Das Essen war sehr lecker und ausreichend in der Menge. Wir können das Lokal empfehlen.
I chose this restaurant based on its rate, but later I got surprised since it was not as good as its rating. The food had low quality & high price! All the restaurants I have tried serve Kafta with rice or fries, but here, you have to pay for them additionally. I didn't like the taste of food! The most positive thing was the welcoming waiters.
Now I know what good tabouleh tastes like. Excellent way to try a new cuisine & experience new dishes, drinks, desserts, etc. the fattouche was a highlight for me. Great value & perfect for a small group of people. Made a day-of reservation for a Friday night. The patio is absolutely beautiful too.

Cozy Lebanese place downtown, with a variety of dishes. Fatteh hummus, a yogurt base with crispy pita, cashews, & pomegranate to top. Really crunchy with a great texture profile to accompany their tough flatbread. I really adored their sojok, a crumbly beef sausage that was salty with some Middle Eastern undertones. It came with pomegranate syrup for some sweet & sticky contrast. Garlic potatoes had a crispy exterior, slightly soft interior, appropriate amount of seasoning, & garlic sauce was nice but they put it in a shallow bowl & it got everywhere. Their kenafeh was a sweet, pastry, slightly wet from a syrup on a bed of cheese. It was fragile compared to the tough cheese & the taste was fine.
Very authentic Lebanese taste. From the ambiance, smell, aromas & menu everything inspired me Lebanon. Great service, amazing staff & very short waiting time. I would encourage you to book your table in advance because it was fully booked when I went there. Totally recommend it.
