Its name reminiscent of the desert, Le Mirage is a charming Mediterranean restaurant located in the heart of downtown Montreal. The warm décor in Oriental colours, and the menu featuring traditional dishes such as fattoush salad, tabbouleh and grilled meats, makes this the perfect place to get together as a group and share a meal. Early risers will be pleased as you can also enjoy their brunches every day of the week from 8am.
Overall, diners describe Mirage Restaurant as a cozy, welcoming spot with a rich Middle Eastern ambiance and an attractive, ornate interior. The food is repeatedly praised for bold flavors, generous portions, and variety, with standout grills and kebabs, Mansaf, kafta, and Lebanese specialties complemented by silky hummus, tangy labneh, fattoush and other mezze; the desserts and Moroccan tea are noted as pleasant finishes. Service is frequently highlighted as professional, attentive, and friendly, contributing to a warm, homey feel, though a few visits report slower lunch service or occasional missteps with timing or bread quality. The atmosphere is described as comfortable and charming, suitable for family dinners, celebrations, or casual meals, with many recalling a memorable, immersive experience and some evenings busier than others, so reservations are advised. Price appears to be a mixed bag depending on the night and dish, with many reviewers calling portions fair or generous for the quality and location, while a few feel the price tag can be high for Montreal and note occasional value concerns. Overall, Mirage Restaurant is seen as a strong option for authentic, flavorful Mediterranean cuisine, with a focus on warm hospitality and a distinctive, elegant setting that makes it easier to return for future gatherings.
I don't usually write reviews but I tought this might be necessary. Food used to be so good here & the portions would also be appropriate.The portions seems to have been reduced & customer service was the WORST.I understand it was packed but after taking our order we had to wait a long time (fasting) & had already reserved a spot.when we did get the food it wasn't the rice I asked for ( that is on the menu & that I got last time) We didn't eat the plain white rice since we never eat it because of taste preference.We then had to wait 30 more minutes for our rice to come & when it did our chicken was cold which is understandable, but we had to ask for our drink because we were waiting for 30 minutes with no drinks..They then wanted to charge me for the rice that they brought after even tho I had not eaten their white rice? I had to speak up & let them know This shouldn't be an extra because it was not my fault. I guess they realized their mistakes by not giving the option to tip. First pic is before second pic is now Anyways It's sad to know that such a good & tasty restaurant I used to love has come this far ..

We finally remembered why we like to go out: impeccable service & attention of our waitress Myriam, the food was so delicious, we are already looking forward to go back. Get the muhammara, it is so tasty. The chef dresses every plate with nice touches of pine nuts, pomegranate, & a variety of sauces. Ending supper with a tasty Moroccan min tea.

If you want to eat some delicious halal meat & enjoy with the perfect ambience & Arabic music, I would highly recommend this place. Absolutely tasty & the staff were very friendly & helpful.
Ordered Falafel, hummus & cheese sticks. My friends ordered Chicken dishes. Honestly Falafel was very dry & was not that tasty. Hummus was also not very tasty honestly, it was bland. The atmosphere & ambience was perfect, the service was really good too but the food was not that great. They also did not have a Falafel plate or platter that generally a Mediterranean restaurant has. For vegetarians there were no complete meal item on the menu.
Wonderful atmosphere, great service & mouthwatering super tasty food, topping of the salad was perfect, meat soft & juicy, & everything from fresh ingridients. Worth your visit with family or friends.

Really really impressed with the food here. I just wasn't expecting it from a place that has such a diverse menu. 90% of the time when a place has burgers pizza & some other things, it's just not great food. In all fairness I didn't have the burgers or the pizza but the middle eastern options were really really good. A good selection & everything I had was tasty. Service was slightly better than meh but for the quality of the food & the vert reasonable prices, they could have insulted my mother & I'd still go back. Lol. Gotta have priorities in our right? Highly recommended.
I ordered a falafel wrap for takeout before a movie while my husband grabbed a veggie burger nearby.
Upon entering, I wished I had time for a full sit down meal. The decor was lovely, lots of colour & subdued lighting. A few families & a few couples eating. The staff were very welcoming & friendly & my order was ready quickly…even came with fries & a pop.
I specifically looked for a restaurant that made falafel fresh to order, unlike some quicker spots in the neighbourhood. Fresh falafel is a game changer.
This falafel wrap is in my top 5. Tightly wrapped, diced veggies, delicious sauce & lots of parsley, with the tasty falafel. Well done Mirage! Highly recommend.
Our recent visit to Mirage restaurant was truly delightful. The Mediterranean cuisine was scrumptious, with the tasty fillet steak sandwich. The portions were quite generous & ambiance added to the overall positive experience.
The food is delicious. It was the first time to know that pomegranate can be a tasty salad. Overall, We enjoyed my visit at the restaurant & the food was extremely delicious.
