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.
This place is one of the best I have visited for supper. It is a quintessential part of your trip to Montréal! I recommend the bar for the ambiance & the atmosphere. Music was perfect, food was fantastic & service impeccable. This one is a must for Quebec! It will be a regular go to for me going forward

We tried the tasting menu. It was expensive, but the shrimp rolled in kadaif, & lamb ribs were delicious. The baklavas were good, but not the best. The staff were polite. We'll return, but next time we'll order from the regular menu.
THE BEST RESTAURANT in Montreal & THE BEST MED food experience ever! I don't know what else to say.. the Moujaddara almost made me cry as it to me to very young ages when my mom & grandma & aunties would make us dishes; the Mouhammara was the best one I've ever had, & the Egplant Mutabbal smelled like firewood; the grilled Halloumi was phenomenal, specifically its dressing; the sour cherry kebab was also super juicy & not fatty & cooked to perfection, the same with Shish Taouk! The drinks were also great & the staff were absolutely sweet & professional! I wish I could go there every week, like literally. It is expensive but undoubtedly worth it! We couldn't finish as the portions were significantly larger than what we expected so we skipped the dessert. It is also important to mention that the interior is huge & soooo gorgeous, loved every detail of the design.

Just amazing. Fantastic food & service. Went with some friends after the F1 race & we enjoyed delicious lamb chops & other shareable items. Coming back here every time I'm back in Montreal
The food is usually excellent but this time something was a little off in all the dishes. It's not a big deal but for the price they charge I expect more consistency.
One of the best restaurants in Montreal, & hands-down the best Syrian restaurant I've had the pleasure of dining in outside of Syria itself. The service was impeccable- very helpful & professional staff. I highly recommend the Bargylus wine.
Excellent choix de resto pour célébrer une occasion spéciale ou pour apprécier la délicieuse cuisine syrienne. Le menu dégustation est un must pour une 1ere visite, à considérer si ont a un bon appétit. Prix à la hauteur de la qualité des plats & de l excellente réputation de ce resto. Excellent cocktails.
Amazing Syrian food. There was not a single item that was not perfect. The flavors & use of spices were unbelievable. The waiter was great & had very good suggestions
