Lieu chaleureux proposant des viandes libanaises traditionnelles grillées au charbon de bois, ainsi que du thé, des trempettes, des pâtisseries et une terrasse.
Garage Beirut propose des plats libanais et moyen-orientaux authentiques qui mettent en avant des méthodes de préparation traditionnelles et des profils d'épices audacieux. Le menu présente une variété de viandes grillées au charbon de bois, de plateaux de mezze savoureux et de préparations de légumes frais ancrées dans les traditions culinaires méditerranéennes. Les convives découvrent un environnement défini par une esthétique d'inspiration industrielle qui contraste avec la chaleur de l'hospitalité levantine classique. Chaque assiette se concentre sur l'équilibre des textures, utilisant des ingrédients essentiels comme le tahini, le zaatar et l'huile d'olive pressée à la main pour ancrer l'expérience gustative. Cet établissement priorise l'intégrité des produits régionaux en maintenant des normes cohérentes pour la préparation et la présentation. L'atmosphère reste axée sur un engagement communautaire décontracté, laissant les saveurs robustes du Levant occuper une place centrale.
Garage Beirut est largement reconnu comme une perle authentique à Montréal, célébré pour sa cuisine libanaise de grande qualité, son atmosphère chaleureuse et son service attentionné. De nombreux convives louent la fraîcheur et la richesse des saveurs des plats tels que les plateaux de trempettes, les viandes grillées et les mezzés traditionnels, soulignant souvent la capacité du restaurant à recréer le goût nostalgique et familial de la cuisine libanaise classique. Bien que la majorité des clients trouvent la nourriture excellente et le personnel très accueillant, certains visiteurs expriment des réserves concernant les prix, notant que les portions peuvent paraître petites par rapport au coût. De plus, en raison de la petite taille et de la popularité du restaurant, les réservations sont fortement recommandées, bien que quelques clients aient noté des défis liés au niveau sonore lors des heures d'affluence ou des expériences inégales concernant la taille des portions et le rapport qualité-prix.
I recently visited Garage Beirut & had a mixed experience.
The fattoush was tasty & enjoyable. The sambousek was good as well, although it was missing the pine nuts that usually add an extra layer of flavor. The spinach fatayer was decent.
Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was the fattet hummus. The dish contained plenty of nuts, bread, hummus, & yogurt, but it lacked the essential flavors that make this dish special. Where was the sumac? The cumin, garlic, mint, & rich taste of ghee? The overall flavor was surprisingly bland & underwhelming.
The khichkach was another letdown. The portion was very small, & it tasted more like kafta than the authentic khichkach one would expect.
Lastly, the knefeh seemed old rather than freshly made. The cheese was hard & lacked the soft, fresh texture that makes a great knefeh memorable.
Overall, while some dishes were enjoyable, several traditional favorites fell short of expectations, especially considering the reputation of the restaurant.
One more thing: the music. We used to hear beautiful Lebanese classics by feiruz & other authentic Lebanese artists. Unfortunately, the music selection no longer reflects that rich heritage.
It would be wonderful to bring back the classic Lebanese songs that so many of us grew up with.
The food was absolutely amazing - everything tasted fresh & full of flavor. The grilled chicken were juicy & well-seasoned, & the appetizers were just as impressive. The staff were really kind & attentive.
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!

Excellent authentic Lebanese food. Everything tasted fresh & delicious. The lamb kefta was 10/10, amazing. Great service & lovely waiters. Portions were a bit small, so order accordingly.
Garage Beirut is an absolute gem in Montreal. The food was outstanding across the board, & the chicken shish taouk really stood out. It was tender, juicy, & full of flavor. The hummus & baba ghanouj were incredibly fresh, creamy, & perfectly seasoned. Everything we ordered tasted authentic & well prepared, & you could tell real care went into each dish. Overall, an amazing experience & I would recommend it to anyone looking for delicious, high quality Lebanese food.
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!
The place itself is tiny. Tried to get a reservation on same day via website, & it was apparently fully booked... decided to go anyway hoping we may be able to sit if we waited a little bit; Lo & behold, the place was completely empty??? So no wait time for us (yay!)
Service:
Service was quick & courteous without more... exchanged maybe 15 words with the waitress from start to finish.
Food:
We ordered
- Fattouch salad
- Cold mezzes tasting plater (hummus, baba ganouj, labneh & muhamara for 22$)
- Hot mezze tasting plater (patries - for 24$)
- kibbeh neye (raw beef with bulgur)
The kibbeh neye was good; its price,quality & quantity in line with other good libanese/syrian restaurants.
The fattoush salad was a ~mess~:
For 18$ I expect more salad than the size of my hand or at the very least a good quality salad. The salad was extremely bland; aside from the fresh mint & overly generous pomegranate molasses drizzle on top there was no identifiable dressing. There were giant chunks of tomatoes (1 1/2' thick), & about 3 large pieces of libanese cucumber.
The cold mezze were ~VERY~ expensive for their price & the quality was frankly not there. This was the worst baba banouj we've ever tasted (doubtful they even put salt in there), the muhamara was... okay, the labneh was a complete bust (plain, store-bought quality labneh decorated with ~dried~ mint. There was about 2 table spoons' worth of dip in every tiny bowl.
The hot mezzes were really good - again, too expensive for the size.
My husband has raved about this place since he lived in Montreal 10+ years ago. We revisited his old haunting grounds, & he's happy to report that the quality is still the same. The chef/owner has been consistently making great Lebanese food. & even recognized my husband!
Everything was so delicious. The hummus was very creamy, the fattoush dressing was well balanced, the sojok spices were out of this world, the fatteh hummus was very unique, & the jebneh was perfectly crunchy. We also got the kanefe, but it was a bit sweet for my taste.
I would come back in a heartbeat. If you want fresh, delicious Lebanese food with great service, this is your spot.
Some of the best Lebanese food I've ever had, & a wonderful experience. Food was fresh, flavourful, & portions were good. Every dish was better than the last! They did a great job for our large group & managing allergies. Can't wait to return.
