Come and join us for an enchanted Syrian evening located Montreal’s chic and gastronomic heart of Outremont, on Van Horne Avenue. At Restaurant Damas, a uniquely comfortable microcosm will greet you with warm colours, velours, carved wood, and multicoloured lights.
Damas earns widespread praise for its refined Syrian and Middle Eastern cuisine, with a wide mezze spread, standout lamb dishes, octopus, and a balanced mix of bold and subtle flavors that many describe as deeply satisfying. The presentations are often praised as beautiful, ingredients high quality, and the open kitchen and warm ambiance add to a special night out. Service is repeatedly lauded as professional, attentive, and knowledgeable, with staff guiding guests through the menu and wine or cocktails, though a few experiences mention slow pacing during busy times or inconsistent timing. The tasting menu and wine pairing are a highlight for many, offering generous portions and a cohesive culinary journey, while others feel the price point is high for the portions or that some dishes do not justify the cost. Brunch is also highlighted as a good value and a way to sample the kitchen, while some reviews note that the atmosphere can be loud or the room crowded. Overall, Damas is regarded as a top Montreal dining destination for rich flavors, elegant service, and a memorable, if premium, dining experience.
The is the Arab equivalent of Milos, enough said. Everything is exquisite, a true feast. The interior decor is beautiful, one of the prettiest restaurants I've been too. Is it expensive? Yes, I would even say it's one of the most expensive restaurants I've ever been to. Is it worth it? You'll have to taste it to find out.
What a wonderful treat! We are visiting Montreal & the food & service were exceptional! The filet kabob & mushroom hummus couldn't have been more enjoyable! A must try!
Dîner incroyable chez Damas. Nous avons opté pour le menu dégustation, nous avons vécu une véritable expérience culinaire ! Explosion de saveurs, diversité des goûts, des produits, des épices, c'était véritablement formidable ! Tout cela accompagné par un service impeccable, aux petits soins. J'espère avoir la possibilité de renouveler l'expérience ! Merci encore !
Best restaurant food & experience of the last year. Too much to go into it all. The service was standout. The cocktails were delicious & surprising. The food was so complex yet harmonious....& spectacularly delicious. This restaurant is worth plane tickets to eat here. Wow. Enjoy & appreciate this gem.
Amazing experience. Had the tasting menu & although a little expensive it definitely was worth the experience. Every single plate was unique & packed with flavour. The meat was also extremely tender.
I've been to Damas for YEARS, & every single time I get excellent service. A spot for a special occasion or to impress people out of town. The lamb is DELICIOUS!

This was our first experience at Damas as we were recommended it by friends & we were not disappointed. With this price point (It was a birthday celebration so we splurged), we had very high expectations. However, from my first phone calls to ensure a nice table, to the drinks, the incredible food & the impeccable service, we were truly overjoyed with our experience. We enjoyed the tasting menu & were so thankful for, not only the presentation of this truly gastronomic experience, but also the equally amazing service & explanations of each dish. (We ended up having 1 principal server & 3 other servers ensuring that our evening was unfolding well & that we were well taken care of throughout our evening!). They were very conscious of a dietary restriction & ensured that it was addressed at each tasting. Bravo to the service team & chefs at Damas! Highly recommended & looking forward to our next experience there soon!
This restaurant is one you must go to if you're visiting Montréal. Everything about our experience here was remarkable. The ambiance, the decor, & the music do an impressive job of immersing you into your meal. Our waitress was so sweet, & made great recommendations. The restaurant is share style, so we ordered 5 dishes for the 4 of us. We started with the Pastirma & Fattouch Salad, both bursting with flavour. Our final dishes of Grilled Halloumi, Samke Harra, & Pistachio Fried Kibbeh were all delectable. We will definitely be coming back when we're in town again!
Imagine the feeling when an European conqueror found asian spices for the first time. That's the same when eating at this place. Food is insanely good. Beautiful decor & the staff is really really nice & agreeable.

It was a wonderful experience at Damas. The starters, & main course were indeed mouthwatering & tastiest food that I've ever tried in Montreal. The service was great & professional. It's a must try restaurant!
It's a gorgeous restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere. We ordered the tasting menu & we're not disappointed! Everything tasted fresh & the flavors were great. It's alot of food so ordering your favorite at bigger portions is also a great idea! You can't really go wrong! Enjoy!
