The best Lebanese restaurant in all Montreal! The food is so authentic & full of flavor, the portions are descent, the atmosphere is charming.. & the prices are super reasonable! But above all, what would always make me come back is the exceptional warmth & welcome we get constantly from Rahaf over there.. she truly deserves a shout-out!!
Nightmare
Awesome food, polite staff, & very authentic music & decor. The food hit the spot, the coffee was delicious, & the prices were very affordable!
My only complaint is that they were out of stock of some of their desserts like baklava & kunafa, but it could have been poor timing on my part.
Either way I highly recommend coming here!

I recently visited Mirage Restaurant, & it was a delightful experience, as always. The ambiance is charmingly Moroccan, with decor that captures the warmth & vibrancy of Morocco! I always enjoy their half chicken served with perfectly seasoned rice & as entry I love their lentil soup. The flavors were authentic & rich, clearly crafted with high-quality ingredients & traditional techniques. Our waitress was incredibly warm & attentive. Overall, the service was excellent, & the food quality consistently impressive.

Let's talk about the food & the quality. I'm rating their so called breakfast menu. The quality is not great, yes the food seemed to be made fresh however that is as far as they go to giving you good food. Do not get Zaatar, because they have taken the word zaatar to literally & dowsed the soft (perhaps uncooked) bread with zaatar. clumpy. Zaatar for those who actually know what it should taste like, should be a little on the crispy side & the zaatar in olive oil should be in-printed into the bread base. I'm not sure what sure what oil is used since all you can taste & see is the overload of zaatar. Generally it should be made with the healthier oil like olive oil not using inflammatory oils like vegetable oil or canola! The breakfast menu is very expensive & the food is not good. So skip it. Most small dishes are around $9-$10 mark. A little tip as a middle eastern place. When someone asks for tea in a pot , don't be cheap & use one teabag better yet if you're supposedly authentic then use real tea, not tea dust in bag. Also no one wants bright yellow tea! Now the environment looks good & clean however the booth seats are uncomfortable & over powering candle smells everywhere which is not heathy to have at any time let alone when trying to eat! However to be fair our server was nice & accommodating to anything we asked. :)

Been to Mirage twice. By far it is the best Lebanese/Syrian restaurant I tried in Montreal. A big shoutout to the chefs & owners for delivering authentic Syrian food. It is the restaurant I take non Arabic friends to to impress. Price range compared to quality is really fair & not expensive. Service is great & the atmosphere is amazing (Arabic music played in the background & the interior decoration is wonderful).

The atmosphere was authentic which included the interior, the music, & of course the food! I have never had such delicious dips full of flavors & I did love the mixture of various veggies, fruits, & dry fruits. I could never imagine somone could prepare a sour dip using walnuts. I became a fan! The pita bread elevated the taste of all the three dips we ordered. Would definitely recommend this place to people visiting Montreal. Kudos!
Saba
The food was amazing & the service was outclass. Loved every minute of being there. Delicious authentic Arabian taste, beautiful ambiance & quick service. I asked if they had kunefa, it was especially made right then for me, finger licking good! Keep up the great work & I will soon be back to have more! Highly highly recommended!!

The washroom had a watering can: that's how you know it's authentic. Also the food, service, & atmosphere were great. Would come again.

I love this place a lot. It was recommended to me by a friend & worth going. They have authentic Lebanese meals. They offer excellent customer service. I like the store decoration. It is like being in Lebanon. Every dish is delicious & must try. I brought my friends there & they loved it. I just wish it was a bigger place. Hope they expand soon.

Such a beautiful Moroccan restaurant in downtown Montreal! I almost fell back to Marrakesh where my partner & I visited in 2020. The food was delicious & authentic. The atmosphere was lovely.
Rasha
Excellent dine in & catering experience. The food is incredible & they have a variety of authentic Arabic dishes to choose from. Mirage is my go-to for catering for events & holidays such as Christmas & Easter, & the owner Abdallah is very pleasant to talk to & always puts in extra care for the order. Highly recommend for catering or dine in if you're craving authentic Arabic food. Impeccable food & service, nothing else to say. A+++++++

Most authentic food I've had, it's just like being in the Middle East! Fresh ingredients & amazing taste. The staff really take their work to heart.

It was my first time eating there & it was amazing. I love the authentic decor & the food & service was exceptional. We had the whole grilled chicken which was greatly seasoned & well cooked that wasn't too dry just perfect tenderness.

Great restaurant if you are looking for some authentic middle eastern food. Tried some newer stuff which we have never eaten at other Mediterranean restaurants & we loved it. The ambiance & decor was tasteful. My only feedback is the service, which was slow. But, I would definitely return if I am in Montréal.
Monika
