Damas offers a brunch experience that is as curated as it is flavorful, blending influences from both Eastern & Western cultures for a unique culinary adventure. The restaurant operates on a set-price menu, starting at $55, with additional charges depending on your selections. While it would be nice to see an a la carte option, the structured menu ensures each dish is thoughtfully prepared & cohesive.

The coffee is a standout, beautifully brewed & aromatic, setting the stage for the meal ahead. The dishes themselves are vibrant, richly spiced, & layered with flavor, making for a wonderful introduction to Syrian cuisine. Each bite is carefully balanced, showcasing both boldness & nuance without ever feeling overwhelming.

The ambiance enhances the experience: warm wood tones, magical lighting, & cozy decor create a welcoming & almost enchanting atmosphere that complements the food beautifully.

Overall, Damas delivers a brunch that is flavorful, memorable, & culturally immersive. For those seeking a thoughtful introduction to Syrian cuisine with a touch of cross-cultural flair, it's a satisfying & elevated way to spend the morning.

We ordered the three most popular dishes - Fattouch salad, shish taouk (chicken) & rack of lamb. With several cocktails.

Let's start with the good. The cocktails are some of the best we've ever had before. We sat at the bar (I recommend) & were delighted by a performance of drinks on display. We had the Aleppo gin sour & the cherry sour & both were an absolute delight. Very well balanced, better than drinks at most exclusive cocktail bars in town, all using fresh juices & herbs. Truly a first class experience, much thanks to the bartender Amjad who saved the night for us for what was otherwise a very lackluster experience.

My fiancée had a reaction in her mouth to the fattouch salad where the roof of her mouth was burning but as far as she knows she has no food allergies.
The chicken was good, juicy & flavorful. I would recommend this dish. The rack of lamb was severely charred (beyond maillard reaction to pyrolysis) causing it to taste bitter & we only were able to eat a fraction of it. This is caused by cooking above 180C & the difference is instead of browning, simply burning the meat. Such a shame on such a beautiful piece of meat!

Other problems are the wait times. This is a very big restaurant with clearly a smaller kitchen that can't keep up. We were often waiting in excess of 20-30 minutes between each dish for the next to show up. Also, as many reviewers noted for the quality of the food the prices do not justify.

I would honestly only return to have their amazing cocktails. Unfortunately otherwise we were disappointed.

We had a great evening at Damas Restaurant. The food was excellent. We ordered baba ghanoush & fattoush as appetizers, & filet mignon & a lamb dish for the main course - everything was delicious & perfectly cooked.

It was Yalda Night, an Iranian celebration of the longest night of the year, so we asked for a red drink to celebrate. They brought us a lovely red beverage, which made the evening even more special.
Highly recommended!

I've been eating these foods my whole life so I admittedly set the bar high before getting there & they absolutely surpassed it in every way. Whatever I ordered was delicious.

I was shocked & surprised in the best way.

We sat at the bar as we booked last minute & even loved that vibe.

Every course was even more amazing than the last. Colorful, unique, flavored.

An incredible atmosphere as well. I will definitely be back. Try the tasting menu you will not be disappointed.

Service. Amazing. Fun & upbeat. Thank you!

Just visiting Montreal & enjoyed my stay at Damas. I wanted to support Syrian fine dining cuisine experience as I have not experienced something like this in Toronto.

Pricey restaurant but honestly flavors & textures were incredible. My favorite was the lamb dumplings. Great fantastic service as well. Everything went very well together it was very intentional when preparing the meal & menus. Will definitely return when back in the city God willing!

My wife & I went here on our honeymoon & the tasting menu was one of the highlights of our entire trip. There was a lamb dish so good that it literally made me laugh with delight. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere was so lovely, the food was UNREAL. They've also got a lovely drink menu, & their mocktail options are just as tasty as their cocktails. If you're in Montreal this is a spot you should not miss.

Je suis allée y souper pour mes 30 ans & j'ai adoré mon expérience ! Le service était excellent, & l'équipe a même adapté la quantité des entrées pour convenir à notre table de cinq. La nourriture était délicieuse & les plats sont vraiment originaux. Je recommande fortement le Friki, l'un des meilleurs plats que j'aie goûtés !

Nous sommes des clients réguliers du Damas. Nous n'avons jamais été déçu comme hier soir. Nous fêtions notre anniversaire & avons été extrêmement déçu. Le service était horrible. Le serveur c'est excusé & a blâmer le tout sur un nouveau système informatique pour les commandes. Cela n'excuse pas qu'il n'est jamais revenu nous voir durant le repas pour nous demander si nous avions besoin de quoique ce soit. Résultat une facture de prêt de 400$ pas de vin en mangeant. Nous irons dépenser notre argent ailleurs malheureusement

La nourriture était bonne & certains plats très réussis, mais d'autres un peu décevants pour le prix. Certains prix semblent gonflés en raison du nom du restaurant, notamment les cocktails & par exemple le plats de crevettes (44$ pour 4 crevettes de taille moyenne). Par contre, l'enjeu était vraiment le service. Tant nos boissons que certains de nos plats sont arrivés avec beaucoup de retard à notre table sans aucune explication du serveur. Nos cocktails sont arrivés 1h après notre arrivée sans excuse du serveur, qui avait clairement oublié. Toutes les employés féminines étaient beaucoup plus agréables & à la hauteur du prix & du nom du restaurant, tout l'inverse du serveur qui nous était attitré. Bref, un peu déçue de ma 2e visite.

Nous avons opté pour le menu dégustation & l'expérience a été exceptionnelle du début à la fin. Le service était attentif & chaleureux, avec des explications précises qui ajoutaient encore plus de valeur à chaque assiette. L'ambiance complète parfaitement l'expérience culinaire. Je recommande sans hésitation!

Exceptional, but too much quantity.

We went with the tasting menu, which was delicious from start to finish, however it was too much. We ended up feeling'full' to the point of not enjoying the last meals/desserts.

Your mileage may varry, but I'd say we're'good eaters' & are generally used to north american meal sizes. But here sadly, it was too much. & we were left wondering if it was worth paying that much (660$ taxes & tips included for 2) for a exceptional menu, that we ended up not appreciating around its end.

So, I would recommend going with'a la carte' items or a more classic menu, rather than the tasting menu.

Otherwise, everything was great.
