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.
We were told by friends to go here. Our server, Alan, gave us recommendations that were spot on. Great flavor, huge portions, service from the entire staff was as good as any restaurant we have been to. Will definitely recommend & return when in Montreal again.

The decor is stunning, with oriental music on low volume, just perfect.
The food is delicious, we tried a few cold & hot mezze, as well as the grilled kebabs. Everything was beautifully presented, & very tasty. Portions are adequate, we went with a small fatoush salad, mouhammara, mutabbal, shish borek, Alep kebabs & a dessert. We could barely finish & could have ordered a bit less for 2.
My only issue is the price, I do think this is way overpriced. This is very good traditional Syrian food, very well executed (better than most other levantine restaurants), but it's still simple food. While I understand some of the high prices on racks of lamb & noble pieces of meat, most of the menu doesn't warrant these prices. 18$ labneh? Really

Les saveurs , le service...les drinks, j'ai tout aimer .
Salade avec grenadine, houmous a l'agneau OMG!!!
Le the a la menthe les baklavas tout est delicieux!!!!
Absolutely delicious. The hummus is amazing. I love ordering from here too because the food always taste as if it was cooked from the kitchen & directly delivered to your home
This place offers incredible customer service that's truly unbelievable. The food is exceptional, the ambiance is top-notch, & I can't praise it enough. Montreal's customer service is already great, but this place takes it to another level. There are so many good things I could say about it
Très bel endroit, la nourriture était bonne & les boissons également. Les prix sont assez élevés mais le service est impeccable! Ils ont une table à l’écart si jamais vous voulez plus de discrétion. La décoration est jolie & correspond bien au thème du resto.

Ce restaurant a déjà été exceptionnel. Seul les prix le sont restés. C'est bon mais sans plus, le service est correct mais sans plus, les prix sont très élevés.
Hands down. Best Syrian food in Canada. Maybe north america.
Wow! Incredibly delicious. Worth every dollar. Do yourself a favor & indulge in the authentic flavours of the middle East at Damas. Thank me later!
Did I mention the service?! Find out yourself!
Thank you Damas for the beautiful gastronomy experience that was beyond enjoyable!

Nous sommes allés souper au Damas pour la première fois hier & nous n’avons pas été déçus ! Bien que le menu soit dispendieux, tout en valait le prix. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation. La nourriture était plus que délicieuse ! & que dire du service ! Impeccable de l’accueil jusqu’à la sortie. Notre serveur était très gentil & nous a fait de belles recommandations. Nous recommandons assurément cet endroit !
