Garage Beirut: I had almost given up hope of finding a genuine Lebanese restaurant in downtown Montreal, until one fine sunny day I was brought to this place by a friend for lunch. Modestly located in a relatively discreet downtown location, this is a small cosy restaurant boasting an authentic Lebanese menu.
The Shish Tawook ( grilled chicken cubes sanwich) was tender, fresh, flavorful and extremely well marinated. Strongly recommended for all you chicken lovers. The Kebab (lamb sanwich) was rich in flavor giving of a great aroma of arabian spices and the tenderness was just right. The chef, who is originally from Beirut, Lebanon did a great job grilling the meat. This mind you, is not as easy and obvious as it sounds. Not to bad mouth any restaurants in particular, but MOST of the well known ones find it difficult to grill their kebabs to perfection. The Baba ghanoosh was delicious as well as an appetizer.
This is by far the best and most authentic Lebanese food I've had in Montreal. It is reasonably priced and close to Concordia Universirty. I will definitely go back here again to try some of the other dishes.
Verdict: 2 thumbs up
