Daou — Restaurant in Montreal

Not the Daou we used to know, when the original owner and staff were in charge. Prices are ridiculously high for the amount of food on your plate and the quality. Everything has declined including the way food is prepared, it tastes bland, lack of spices. Meat is not always cooked well or how we asked for it. Lots of fat strands on the meat, for the price we pay we expect higher quality than this. The food is overrated and the service is arrogant at best. In my opinion people who do not know the true taste and quality of Lebanese cuisine, will probably enjoy eating there - their quality standard is low - but those who have eaten good Lebanese food before, you will notice the change.

I do not see any reason to come back...

The best I've ever had anywhere (Lebanese or not), served with grated garlic. Great fries. But the best thing on the menu? Their Babaganoush. Perfect...and roasted on coals so that you get that incredible smoky flavour. Haven't been there in years, though, because I don't get to Montreal too often these days...hope the quality is still what I remember. Oh, and don't confuse this Daou with the one in Cartierville which doesn't even come close to the...
