We are vegan & they surpassed our expectations !! We had way too much food, everything was amazing; my highlights were the mushroom hummus (which is NOT on the menu, ask for it !) & the grilled veggies. The service was on point, our waiter was very aware of dietary restrictions, he directly offered to switch a yogurt sauce for tahini. He also suggested wine & cocktails to pair with our meal. The decor is beautiful, couldn't have asked for a better night !

Je suis allée chez Damas pour mon anniversaire & tout était absolument parfait !
Nous avons choisi le menu dégustation & quelle belle expérience ! Du début à la fin, les saveurs étaient au rendez-vous : une petite bouchée délicieuse pour commencer, tartare de veau, salade fattouche, crabe, poisson, boulettes de viande… & j'en passe ! Chaque service nous faisait découvrir quelque chose de différent & tout était vraiment excellent.
Mention spéciale pour le cocktail à la coriandre, juste parfait !🍸
& un immense merci à Daniel, notre sommelier, qui nous a littéralement fait voyager à travers les vins tout au long du repas. Ses choix, ses explications & sa passion ont vraiment ajouté quelque chose de spécial à l'expérience.
Une soirée mémorable pour mon anniversaire, autant dans l'assiette que dans les verres. Nous avons adoré & je recommande Damas sans hésiter !

Dropped in for a random dinner at night & we had a great time at the restaurant. The staff was very accommodating & attentive, from the host greeting us to our wait staff member Beatrice. Recommend cocktails & the à la carte items. Would love to visit again next time in MTL 🙂???

Damas was quite the experience.
Take a look at the pictures for an impression of the ornate interior.
Lots of love in every detail.
But of course the food is the star, once you have made peace with the price tag of $160 for the six course (9 items) tasting menu, which gives you an amazing tour of Syrian flavors as interpreted by Damas.
Everyone of these comes with a thorough description by the server that gives you the details.
I discovered something I had never tasted before, a caper berry I thought was a pickled pepper.
I'm not a food expert & this was unforgettable. Try a smoked cocktail, which you can also get without alcohol.
Our server, Nick, was a local foodie who happily answered my hundred questions. At the end he gave us a list of recommendations for other places to try, for experiencing the amazing Montreal food scene.
Come & be impressed!

Takes dishes I used to eat as a palestinian kid at home to new heights. I know its authentic syrian but all levant cuisine is similar so it brough back many memories. The falafel & hummus was so smooth & packed with flavour. The fatoush was one of the best I ever had, it shined more than expected. The Mulokhia with cofit duck was great but the slightly burnt garlic taste, although some like it, was not my favourite but im only nit picking at this point as it was also really good & the duck was cooked to perfection. The cocktails were unique & so good that I would chugg it unconciously if I wasnt paying attention. The kunafah for dessert was also very nice. I want to come to try new dishes.

Went to Damas tonight with a friend & as usual, had incredible food - there is not a single bad thing I could say about the flavour profile of any dish.

Where it went downhill was with the service. When we got our bills, I noticed my cocktail was upcharged by $2 when compared to the menu. Not a big deal, but the principle of it is where the problem lies. When I raised it to our waiter, it took 5 minutes of back & forth with the staff before he came back with the corrected bill, a half-baked apology ('we don't usually try to pull this on our customers, but our menu prices really did change this week'), & nothing to make up for the situation.

My friend then notices the same thing, & before she can even show him where the problem was, the waiter proceeds to gaslight her into thinking the price she was charged for her cocktail was actually the price in the menu. I checked after the fact - it was not (see images attached - shai glace/th0 glac0).

For an establishment that prides itself on a refined & memorable experience, this left a really bad taste in my mouth. The last thing I want to be doing when leaving a restaurant is making sure the prices that were listed are in fact the prices that were charged. So disappointing. I would definitely think twice before making a reservation again - there are equally great restaurants in the city that actually engage in fair business practices.

We had a lovely dinner at Damas, the experience was amazing - the cocktails are incredible! It was my first time having Syrian food, & I honestly can't wait to come here again.

Absolutely outstanding. Nico was our server & he was great. We got the chef's tasting menu with the cocktail pairing. My wife says it was the best meal she's ever had. I've been wanting to come here for years & this definitely met all our expectations.
