probably one of the worst lebanese food spots, doesn't even deserve to be called lebanese food, everything is off, cheese rolls are the worst i never had anything like that, hummus and mutabbal have too much tahini and the meat in the hummus with meat is very chewy and has no taste, fattouch has extra ingredients that usually don't go on a fattouch, the vine leaves don't taste like vine leaves. the server was trying his best but there was only one server for the whole restaurant so we had to wait a lot every time we needed anything.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. While we understand that tastes and preferences can vary, we take pride in the quality and authenticity of our dishes, which are appreciated by many of our guests. To clarify a few points, our recipes follow traditional approaches. For example, our hummus has a pronounced tahini profile by design, and the meat served with hummus is a fresh-cut style (ras el asfour), which has a different texture than ground meat. Our cheese rolls are also made with a higher proportion of feta, which gives them a stronger flavor. These are intentional choices rooted in our cuisine. Regarding the fattoush, we would genuinely be interested to understand what felt off to you, as we follow traditional ingredients and preparation. As for the vine leaves (yalanji), they are served cold as part of a classic vegetarian mezze selection. We do, however, take your comments regarding the service seriously. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and we will be reviewing this internally with our team. We would appreciate the opportunity to understand your experience further. Please feel free to contact us directly at 514-704-6066 or [email protected] . Thank you again for your feedback.

We have been to Mirage almost every night during our visit to Montreal! The food, the ambience, and the service are just the best! We have tried different foods and everything is delicious. Even though it’s hard to pick one, our absolute favorite is the grilled whole chicken. It’s so flavorful! Everyone at mirage is so lovely, their care for their customers is amazing. If I could take Mirage Restaurant home with me, I would! If you’re in Montreal don’t miss out on dropping by Mirage and treating your taste buds.

Thank you for your review. We would like to clarify the situation for anyone reading this. When you called, the restaurant was already fully booked for that time. The only tables remaining were larger tables for groups of 6 and 8 people, which unfortunately cannot be assigned to a reservation for two guests during busy service periods, especially during Ramadan iftar when demand is extremely high. You mentioned that calling one week in advance should have secured a table. We completely understand that expectation. However, many guests did exactly the same and some reserved even earlier, which is why the remaining availability was limited to larger group tables. Despite the restaurant being in the middle of a very busy iftar service, our team still took the call and did their best to explain the situation and suggested trying again during the week in case of cancellations. We always do our best to accommodate everyone, but when the restaurant is fully booked, availability is unfortunately limited.

We went as a group to their iftar buffet on Saturday. The food and deserts were great! The atmosphere was cozy and the staff were very attentive and welcoming. I definitely recommend Mirage to anyone who has the chance to visit them. Thanks for the great iftar Mirage!!

Hello, We are truly sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we must respectfully say that a rating of zero for food quality does not reflect the standards we maintain or the feedback we received that evening. We served over 70 guests that night, many of whom expressed positive comments regarding the freshness, variety, and overall organization of the Iftar. Our Ramadan buffet is prepared fresh the same day and includes a wide selection of salads, hot appetizers, main dishes, grills, desserts, and beverages. At $65, our pricing has remained consistent with last year and falls within the general range of Iftar buffets across Montreal, which typically range between $55 and $70. We take our reputation seriously and are committed to delivering a quality experience to our guests. While we always welcome constructive criticism, we believe it is important that reviews accurately reflect the experience provided. If you would be willing to share more specific details, we would be open to discussing them directly. Thank you.

We went for iftar on Saturday and it was the worst iftar experience we’ve ever had. The food was cold and the service was very poor. We had to wait about 15 minutes after adan for the buffet to start. The quality of the food was unacceptable for the price. I do not recommend this place at all. If possible, I would give it less than one star.

We visited this spot on valentines and while it was super cute, we thought it was a little bit overpriced. We tried to get the staff's attention to pay the bill, but felt like they were too busy talking to each other to notice. It's definitely worth trying, but with the caveat that it might just be mid.

Food was good and the Moroccan tea hit the spot. The rice pudding was a pleasant surprise! It just looked like tapioca covered with coconut but I can't explain the texture or flavors. It's a sweet, creamy aldente rice pudding covered in cotton candy. It was delightful.

The restaurant offers a pleasant dining experience overall, with a comfortable atmosphere and well-prepared food. Service was organized and timely, and the staff maintained a professional approach throughout the visit. Ali, in particular, stood out for his friendly and welcoming manner. He greeted us politely, explained menu options clearly, and checked in during the meal to ensure everything was satisfactory. His approach was attentive without being overbearing, which contributed positively to the overall experience. The food arrived on time and met expectations in terms of presentation and taste. The environment was calm and suitable for both casual and relaxed dining. Overall, the experience was satisfactory, with Ali’s courteous service adding a positive touch to the visit.

This is hands down the best restaurant I’ve ever tried in my life. The food is on another level — the flavors are absolutely incredible and far beyond anything I expected. The service was excellent, friendly, and very professional. I honestly struggled to stop eating one dish just to move on to the next because every single item was that good. I highly recommend this place to everyone. An unforgettable experience!
