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.
The food is overpriced for the quantity, which is rare in Lebanese restaurants as they are usually very generous. I was there 8 min in advance for my reservation. When I came in the waiter said it wasn't the time yet & made me wait in the hallway although it is a known fact that the table should be ready 10 minutes before the reservation time at least. When I asked for mint tea, they gave me 3 mint leaves in water. I am Lebanese & there are many other good Lebanese restaurants in Montreal with the same taste of food, better service & portions.
Absolutely outstanding experience at Garage Beirut! The food is truly authentic, rich in flavour & beautifully prepared, easily one of the best Lebanese meals I've had in Montreal. The hospitality was equally impressive. Alex & Yousaf his team provided exceptional customer service, making us feel genuinely welcomed & well taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine & a great dining experience in downtown Montreal.

Had been meaning to go here for years. It did not disappoint. Had the dip spread, kebabs & fattoush salad & a lemonade to drink. Everything was excellent, highly recommended!
I asked a Lebanese person to suggest a good resto & he said this one has authentic Lebanese food. The food was delicious & the service was excellent. You need a reservation. Access is easy from the orange or green line.
Absolutely incredible!! We had such a good meal, I'm still thinking about it. Great service, great selection! Can't wait to go back. Tons of vegetarian options.

The food was amazing, only thing that its way expensive from other, & the dishes was not even full !! Like I had the shish tawok & the chicken was not even 100g for 25$ !! Same thing the meat whith hummus was not even 50g😅. It ended with me hungry with 100$ bill for 2 people.other ways still have a nice taste 👅
My friends & I traveled to Montreal for the first time & this was the first dinner location we tried. Lebanese food was new to most of us but we were excited to try! The atmosphere & interactions felt very cozy & personal, almost like we were joining someone's home for dinner.
The food was delicious! Being new to Lebanese, I was so excited to see many vegetarian options as well! I unfortunately did not get any pictures of the food! We tried the dip taster that allowed us to try lots of smaller plates of hummus, baba ghannouj, labneh, & muhammara. We had the tabbouleh & vegetarian kibbeh as well. But the star of the show for me was the fried cheese, rikakat jebneh!
Will definitely visit again if I come back to Montreal! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!
Le Garage Beirut est mon restaurant libanais préféré à Montréal. Nous étions à deux & nous avons commandé la dégustation de trempettes (la meilleure baba ghannouj que j'ai goûté), le kibbeh végétarien, les rouleaux au fromage (mon coup de coeur) & la kafta. Pour le dessert, nous avons commandé le mafroukeh. Tout était vraiment délicieux & très bien servi. Je vous recommande fortement !
Everything was amazing, friendly pressure free service. The food was delicious reminded me of the food I ate growing up with an elevated taste. We had kebeh naye, fattouche salad, hummus fateh, & black with mint chai. the ambience is warm &
welcoming. I recommend this hidden gem

The closest I've felt to being back in Lebanon from any restaurant in Montreal; the food, the relaxed atmosphere on a relatively relaxed downtown street. The staff also, it's all top.
An authentic Lebanese cuisine restaurant. Highly recommended! The team there is very friendly & the hospitality is great! The place is cozy & the food is delicious! This restaurant is on my favorites list!
Amazing spot for delicious Lebanese food. The staff are all so friendly & the cozy atmosphere is lovely. The food is so fresh & flavourful. Highly recommend!
