I am a huge lover off all Lebanese food & having grown up in a Middle Eastern home thus food transported me back to how my mom used to cook back in the 80s & 90s. The Tabouli was excellent. The Kibbe Naye or Raw Kibbe was the best I ever had & I have been to Lebanon multiple times over the years & this was the best.
Hummus & Baba G was great. The mixed grill was great & the Soujek Grilled was next level. The fatoush was good but not my favorite.
Overall I am looking forward to visiting Montreal & calling ahead to make sure there was Raw Kibbe. Ask for white onion & they will bring from the back as it comes with red onion.
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.
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!
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.
It was awesome. Highly recommended if you are a fan of middle eastern food. Definitely try tabule Salad & the kafta kebabs & also 4 assortments of mezzes
A quaint restaurant near downtown Montreal, in a lively neighborhood. The food is authentic & lovely. The fattoosh salad is great, & so is the stew (fatteh). Of course you can go for grilled meat or chicken, but that's the easy choice. Really one of the best places to each middle-eastern or Lebanese food in Montreal (in addition to Kaza Maza). Go early, call before you go, & reserve online if you can, the place isn't that spacious & can get congested quickly as the quality of the food is high & the prices are reasonable. Enjoy!
Overall, it was a good experience. There were a few things that could've been better. Paying 20$ for a few pieces of shish taouk was a little expensive considering it didn't come with any sides, but still, it was very flavourful. Growing up as an Armenian/Lebanese, food was an abundance, & I find most Middle Eastern restaurants lack that. But again, it's a restaurant, I get it. Overall, everything tasted pretty authentic, & I would recommend this restaurant! I would definitely come back!
