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.
Best dining experience of my life. It felt like we were in another world. From the stunning decor, to the warm, attentive service (shout out to Amjad for contributing to such a special experience) to the amazing food (tasting menu is incredible) we will definitely be back again & again!

Excellent food. Expensive for what it is but service compensates it all. Ambiance is made by the people or other clients talk, so you feel the warm ambiance

Place extraordinaire pour l'ambiance, le décor & la qualité de la nourriture. Vaut le détour! Avons été à la première tablée de 18:00. Avons eu suffisamment de temps pour manger, boire & discuter. Avons quittés à 20:45 avant la deuxième tablée sans avoir été poussés de quitter.
Stellar service from start to finish. Thank you George. Atmosphere & design is very authentic & appealing. Prices are inflated however when you're in your'prime' I suppose you milk it for all it's worth. Lentil soup, pistachio kebbe, & braised lamb dish among others. Oh a very unique appetizer; PASTIRMA, (Cured beef filet mignon, aged sheep milk cheese, & quail egg). Very good. I'm being generous with 4 stars. $24 for a glass of Armenian white wine? Not worth it. I will have to return to this establishment. This time with a guest, unlike the one who was with me on this eve, that will be appreciative & kind. This lady was not a'lady' at all & has left a bitter taste from my experience. I shall'redeem' myself. Cheers.
La nourriture était d'une excellence wow la quantité était au rendez-vous nous n'avons pas trop attendu pour recevoir les plats. La boisson n'avez rien d'extraordinaire mais était bonne toute fois! Belle endroit bon service dans l'ensemble!
Tu ne peux pas te tromper en allant manger chez Damas, nourriture très bonne, service impeccable que ce soit à l'accueil ou à table, nous avons été servis par George que nous remercions encore...le seul point un peu négatif est le stationnement...vous risquez de tourner un peu pour trouver une place
We've decided to celebrate my sister's birthday at Damas. Such a great experience, the food is delicious & the service was excellent! We've had the fattouche, hummus, kebe, Hummus shawarma, lamb meet & many more. Great selection of wine! The desserts were delicious too. Good job!
