Food was very yummy! & the atmosphere is great. Gotta get the mint tea... the best.
Special shout out to the girl who tended to us while we waited for our table, her personality was outstanding & she came & checked on us a few times after we were handed over. The wine connoisseur also gets a shout out, paired very nice wines with our meal & we had fun learning about it.

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.

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!

Very different experience from our other visits.
Our first three choices from the wine list were not available. Then we were given the bottom of a bottle from the previous night & we had to return it.
Several items on the menu were also missing; notably common items like fries & rice.
The fattoush was very ordinary & the shish taouk portion was smaller & served with bland potatoes.
Twice now we have been very disappointed; won't be going back any time soon.
Almost feels like a change of management?

Way too over priced & overhyped. Similar & better food at other restaurants in Montreal like Kaza Maza. They also emptied a bottle of wine & finished the glass from a second bottle in same glass which is not acceptable especially at an'upscale' restaurant. Would definitely not come back or recommend.

I've gone here for valentines, birthdays, date nights & more - it is by far my favourite restaurant in the city!

Cannot recommend the tasting with wine pairing enough, & if you don't want a full course, we've always had amazing custom menus made by waitress Karin that pair beautifully together for an amazing meal.

Damas through & through never disappoints!

Couldn't say anything bad about Damas. The ambiance is incredible & the restaurant has so many cool details throughout. We loved the cold Mezze, shrimp, the braised lamb, & chicken dish. Everything blew us away. The flavor, presentation, & creativity is unmatched in Montréal. In addition our waiter Diego was extremely professional, kind, & knowledgeable on the food & wine. We loved the tea to end the dinner as well
