Life changing experience. I have been to a lot of good middle eastern places around the world but this is by far one of the best. I did the tasting menu & every dish was incredible. I heard the guy next to me say that the food reminded him of his mom's cooking, that's how you know. I think my favorite was either the fattoush or the pastirma. If you sit at the bar you definitely gotta try to strike up a conversation with Amjad (not sure if I spelled his name right) - he's a really great guy.

We had the tasting menu & really enjoyed it. There was a generous amount of food, unique flavors, & everything tasted great. The only downside was that some parts of the culinary experience weren't explained very clearly & felt a bit rushed, especially when multiple dishes arrived at once. Overall, it was a great experience, & I'd definitely return for the food & atmosphere.

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.

Honestly one of the best if not THE best, novel (to me), unique, & interesting dining experiences of my entire life. If you can splurge on the tasting menu (with the classic wine pairings), DO IT. The dishes are composed of flavour combinations I don't think I'll ever come across again, but to put those flavours together in the way that they did was nothing short of incredible. So unique & so delicious.

Really enjoyed Damas. Good was good. I found the tasting menu pricey for what we got. With wine & 15% tip it was 300$ per person. Next time I would opt for à la carte options.

Amazing!! Came here for dinner with my husband while visiting Montreal & everything about our experience was wonderful! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful & the service was fantastic. We ordered the tasting menu & every dish was delicious. You can tell how much thought & care is put into creating each dish. I am not the most familiar with Syrian food but our servers kindly explained each dish to us which made it very accessible & informative. Each server we interacted with was incredibly kind & attentive. & I can't emphasize enough how good the meal was. I would very highly recommend visiting Damas!

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.

Very different middle eastern food, good ambience, wonderful service & great dessert.
We had the tasting menu, most of the things where kind of different, with a variety of taste.
I don't eat seafood, they were happy to accomodate my requests.
The kibbeh & the main course lamb were outstanding dishes, others were also good, but these 2 standout.
The dessert was also very different, never had something like that ! Must go place in Montreal

We had the tasting menu with the Mediterranean wine pairing & everything was perfect! The service was above & beyond anything experienced in Montreal. Every single dish was incredible & the wine paired perfectly with each dish. The atmosphere was also very pleasant!
