My favorite Lebanese restaurant of all-time.
The food there is AUTHENTIC. It's just like my grandmother's cooking.
The ideal way to order at Daou is to order small dishes and share.
Service is amazing.
A real gem. Prepare to unbutton the top button of your pants when you leave. -

Food is top notch. All the meat items appear to be well cooked, if perhaps a tad over-cooked. But I was looking for a sampler platter for Vegetarian food. It came with so much food, I was trying to serve everyone else, who also had too much food. The hummus and falafel were certainly sit-down restaurant worthy. The odd thing about this place and many middle eastern places in the middle East is the obsession with French Fries. All the chicken dishes come with traditional white rice and a serving of french fries. Where did this trend develop?
Service was decent, but because the restaurant was full and a group of teenagers walked in shortly after we ordered, we were not extremely well-attended to.
The other reviews about this not being unique food, are all true. I like the basics, but I have had better at a couple other places around the world. -

This is the class of the field in Montreal when it comes to Lebanese Style Middle Eastern food.
Last week I was there with 3 other diners for a celebratory dinner. Please make sure you bring your appetites, as portions are generous.
Knowing about the size of the portions, we began with an appetizer of pepper and cheese did with deliciously fresh pitas.
The following main course were ordered:
Grilled quails with french fries
These were delicious, moist and very tasty
Fillet migon brochettes
Nicely charbroiled, moist and tasty.
Grilled chicken breasts
Very well spiced, juicy and delicious
Kebbah Nayeh
This is the lebanese version of Steak Tartar, which is served with raw onions, mint and olive oil. It was perfect
All these were accompanied by rice and french fries which are outstanding.
For dessert I ordered a mehallabiyeh which is served with a cruet of rose water syrup, and other diners ordered turkish coffee.
Its head and shoulders above the average lebanese fare, and is well worth a visit.
While you are there, if you want to be transported to the 60's drive behind the restaurant and marvel at the Motel Pierre situated around a court yard.....so tacky...they don't make motels like that anymore. -

Girlfriend's family took me to dinner here while I was visiting. I was impressed with the food and the fresh ingredients. Great hummus and fattoush salad. Wish I had a place like this back where I'm from.

Very good libanese restaurant. You can't go there and not take their humus, babaganoush, fatouch and their shish taouk combined with the filet mignon is just exquisite.

The best lebanese food in the city ! I have been going here for years and it is always fresh and tastes just as good as the last time.

Solid, if uninspired Lebanese food. They serve all of the basics, but seem to be riding on their reputation. Nothing is bad, but it is not great. The service is not that friendly and interior is pretty tacky (chrome plated stacking chairs).

Completely delicious. Hommos, vine leaves, falafel--I give them all top marks. Decor is a little dated, but that's part of its charm.
