beautiful syrian restaurant with excellent service! we took the omnivore & pescatarian tasting menu. it was very filling & delicious but nothing extraordinary from the flavors (maybe to someone who is not at all familiar to this palette tho!). a lot of the dishes were lacking salt & one was heavily oversalted. i would recommend this restaurant but not necessarily the tasting menu. my favorite drink was the aleppo sour & my favorite dish - very simple but delicious - the fattouch salad. thank you for the fun birthday experience!

One of my favorite restaurants in the world & a place I come to Montreal for. The service is impeccable - warm & attentive but not fussy. The kitchen is open to being flexible to dietary restrictions even with the tasting menu. & the food is consistently some of the best I've had anywhere. Everything is innovative & delicious. I never review restaurants & had to sing their praises. Always a 10/10.

Went for my birthday & it was a superb experience. Highly recommend the tasting menu, it's very generous & it makes you taste a little bit of everything! Service was great, our waiter was super kind & knowledgeable & the bussers always kept our water glasses full & cleaned our table between each plate. Excellent cocktails too!

We went to Damas to celebrate our anniversary & it was such a wonderful experience. We chose the tasting menu, & I really appreciated how the staff explained each dish as it was served - it made the evening feel even more special.

The food was incredible. My absolute favorites were the lamb & the Crevettes Kunafa - both were packed with flavor & perfectly prepared.

The atmosphere is warm yet elegant, & the service was attentive without being overwhelming. Honestly, it was the perfect place for our celebration, & I'd go back without hesitation.

We were a party of 14 & did the tasting menu. We were blown away. Every single dish that came out was amazing. That battered ice cream was probably the best ice cream I've ever had. Our server, the somm, the bussers were all so kind & attentive. This was my first time in Montreal & they really set the service standard high. If I ever come back this is the first place I'm visiting again.

Everything was incredibly delicious! We chose the tasting menu. The items I preferred were : Kibbeh Nayeh (lamb tartare), Kunafah shrimp & lamb chops. The restaurant is beautiful & the staff, professional.

Finally trying Damas, the famous upscale Syrian restaurant in Montreal! I've heard about this place since I was still at McGill, but unfortunately never had the chance to try. I was surprised to see how big the restaurant was; it seemed to span the entire block, & seemed like it took up the space of three restaurants.

While the taste was good, I didn't think it was anything spectacular; nothing tasted elevated or luxurious. It was overpriced & tasting menu items were simply olives or salads or just something small. I wouldn't recommend this place simply because of the price.

From the moment we walked into Damas, we knew we were about to embark on something special-but nothing could have prepared us for just how exceptional the experience would be. We have tried the tasting menu & it was absolutely the perfect choice!

The ambiance is warm & enchanting, beautifully combining elegance with the rich cultural essence of Syria. The soft lighting, the detailed décor, & the welcoming atmosphere set the perfect stage for an evening to remember.

But let's talk about the food-because this is where Damas truly shines. Every single dish was a masterpiece, crafted with such depth, authenticity, & care that we felt transported to the heart of Damascus. From the tender, aromatic lamb dishes to the vibrant & perfectly balanced mezze, every bite told a story. The flavors were bold yet refined, traditional yet elevated, & undeniably delicious. You could taste the passion & heritage in every element of the meal.

Special thanks to Alexander who guided us through the menu & made us feel at home throughout the evening. His hospitality added a personal touch that elevated the experience from amazing to unforgettable.

Damas has truly mastered the art of Syrian cuisine, blending tradition with fine dining in a way that few can. We left feeling full, grateful, & already planning our next visit.

Thank you, Damas, for an extraordinary night of food, culture, & warmth. You've set the gold standard for Middle Eastern dining in Montreal.
