As a Syrian American who lived in Syria, I've eaten a lot of Syrian food in my life, & this was genuinely some of the best I've had. The food was incredibly authentic, but also refined & thoughtfully prepared. Syrian cuisine is known for bold, powerful flavors, & the kitchen managed to preserve that intensity while adding an impressive level of subtlety & complexity. Every dish felt elevated without losing what makes Syrian food so distinctive.

We did the tasting menu, & it felt like a highlight reel of the classics I grew up eating with familiar dishes & flavors, but reimagined in a thoughtful & creative way.

George was our server & was fantastic throughout the meal. He even shared some of the history & stories behind the food & drinks, which made the experience that much more special. Highly recommend, especially if you're looking for Syrian food that feels both deeply authentic & genuinely elevated.

Damas isn't just a meal; it is an absolute culinary experience. From the moment you walk into the dining room, the ambiance is stunning with warm lighting & elegant Syrian motifs.

The food is extraordinary. The mezze is served with their warm pita. I loved that the dishes are shareable, which allows you to try & taste different things on the menu.

The service is just as impressive as the food. The staff is attentive & knowledgeable about the menu. The drinks are on a whole different level; unlike traditional drinks, they feature a unique twist with a Middle Eastern touch.

Whether you live in Montreal or are just visiting, this is an institution you cannot miss. Highly, highly recommended.

We had a lovely experience dining at Damas for brunch. I am vegan & my husband is not. They were happy to modify what they could for me to eat vegan. Service was wonderful. Everything was so unique & delicious. Highly recommend!

BRUNCH. We ate dinner here one night & brunch 2 days later. The front of house & the wait staff were amazing both visits. Very friendly, just as helpful, & food recommendations that were extremely enjoyable & right on point. As amazing as the entire series experience is the food is even still the star. The flavors are creative & well put together. I highly recommend this place if you eat, & you're in Montreal, you need to try it!

I wish I took more pictures of the food but it was just that good we couldn't be bothered.

We visited Damas for the first time last week, & it completely lived up to its reputation. Syrian cuisine has always been my favorite, & this restaurant took it to another level. The food was exceptional, & the service was outstanding. The waiters & sommelier were very knowledgeable & helped make the experience even more enjoyable.

A special thank you to Mark, the manager, who was kind & accommodating in finding us a great table on their beautiful terrace. I highly recommend Damas & will definitely be back.

We visited Damas for a 40th birthday & it was a fantastic experience.

3 of us had the tasting menu which we all really enjoyed. The thought & detail put into each dish is really paramount & as someone who appreciates food really elevated the experience.

1 of us was pregnant & the team at Damas could not have been more accommodating without making her feel like a burden. Great care was taken in each of her dishes (non tasting menu) to ensure she was safe.

The staff were friendly & attentive without being overbearing. The team also provided a birthday card which was a really lovely touch & meant a lot.

Highly recommend this restaurant & the tasting menu.

Thanks again & we hope to be back soon.
