My group of 5 had 10 lamb racks, the lamb dumplings & a hummus shawarma. Everything tasted very good, with the hummus shawarma being the highlight. Quite expensive though, personally i think its worth a try if coming to montreal.

I came from Toronto specifically to visit Damas because of its reputation. The restaurant itself is beautiful, & the atmosphere is definitely one of its strongest points. Parking, however, was difficult to find.
As a Lebanese person, I was most excited about the food, but unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations. Nothing we ordered had that'wow' factor or memorable taste that would justify the prices. The portions were also quite small for what we paid.
For a table of four, without ordering any meat dishes or alcohol, our bill came to over $500. In my opinion, there are many other Lebanese & Middle Eastern restaurants that offer better food & larger portions for half the price.
It feels like Damas is selling the name & the overall experience more than the food itself. While I can appreciate the ambiance, it wasn't enough to justify the cost for me. Unfortunately, this was a $500 lesson, & I won't be returning.

Stumbled into Damas on a Tuesday after work & honestly it might be one of the best decisions I've made since moving to Montreal. The lamb kibbeh was absolutely incredible, perfectly spiced & served in a gorgeous, intimate dining room that felt way more special than a random weeknight deserved. Service was warm & attentive without being overbearing, which is rare to find at a place this well-regarded. If you haven't made a reservation yet, do it now because this spot fills up fast even mid-week.

Our server Ayoub (hope I spelled it right) was phenomenal. Very friendly & knowledgeable with some great recommendations!
Service was excellent, quick & efficient but did not make you feel rushed at all.
Food was amazing! Highly recommend the lamb dumplings & the lamb kebab.
Décore is top notch as well, just unique & transformes you to a different country.
A tad pricey but well worth it for the great experience.

We had a fantastic time at this restaurant. One of the top food experiences in Montreal thus far. The flavours are deep & unique, & very delicious. You can appreciate the use of high quality ingredients & expertly curated dishes.

The lamb was the best dish we tried.

We ordered several dishes & they were all fantastic. This restaurant is on the Amex platinum dining list, so you can use your annual $200 credit here.

We had high chairs, & the group was great with the children. The service is fantastic, your water will always be filled, & you can appreciate the attentiveness of the staff.

The food here was absolutely stellar, & definitely one of the top restaurants in a week long visit to Montreal. The hummus shawarma was exceptional, & the mixed grill for two is definitely worth it, especially the shish taouk, lamb rack, & filet mignon kebab. The smoked eggplant puree with the lamb was chef's kiss. Definitely come here while in Montreal, but get a reservation.

We went to Damas to celebrate a birthday this weekend & had such a wonderful lunch. We were lucky enough to have the incredible Tessie as our waitress. Her warm energy, beautiful personality & friendly suggestions made our first experience at Damas nothing short of amazing. We decided to go for a 3 course meal because we absolutely wanted dessert, but we would've easily been more than satisfied with 2 courses as the portions are extremely generous. We started with their akawi & lamb fatayer, as well as their lamb kibbeh nayyeh, had the ribeye with the ottoman eggs & the shish taouk for our main courses & for dessert (there's always room for dessert!) we chose the halva french toast as well as the classic halawet el jebn. The presentation of every plate was breathtaking, as you can see below. The flavours are so well thought out, the meat was seasoned & cooked to perfection & their crispy potatoes will have you pushing your limits for one more bite. The most surprising part for me was that, despite the very generous portions, we didn't even get a to go box because of how good the food was. It's one of those places you're planning your next visit before you even finish eating. It's really THAT good.
