I'm just gonna go straight to the point: this is probably the best restaurant I've ever been to. I'm very privileged to have eaten in a bunch of great restaurants around the world but this one was unreal, like a once in a lifetime experience. I went there for the first time with my family more than a year ago & still have so much nostalgia about this outing. The lovely aspect of this place is that you get exactly what you paid for. There are too many fancy restaurants where you pay over 300 bucks & leave with an empty stomach. Here, I spent around 100,00$ & had multiple servings of different selections on the menu with a beverage. Everything, & I mean EVERYTHING, was exceptional: meticulously prepared & savoury at every bite. Even the pita bread was amazing... I wish everyone to have the opportunity to go there. If you want to have a table reserve at least a month in advance. I suggest to go there accompanied & order different meals to share. Thank you Damas for the extraordinary evening, I will never forget it xoxo

Incredible flavors matched by absolutely topnotch service.

First time trying Syrian food & I was completely blown away with the food. It was fresh, aromatic, healthy & absolutely delicious.

Service was absolutely amazing. Tessie our server was phenomenal. She explained the components of each dish. Made some really good recommendations. Even though it was a fixed menu, accommodations were made based on individual preferences.

The wait staff were absolutely fantastic. Every time we completed a meal, the servers came by to switch out our dishes, cutlery & clean any crumbs off our table.

Overall an amazing experience & would definitely recommend this restaurant as a must stop when visiting Montreal

We visited Damas for the first time last week, & it completely lived up to its reputation. Syrian cuisine has always been my favorite, & this restaurant took it to another level. The food was exceptional, & the service was outstanding. The waiters & sommelier were very knowledgeable & helped make the experience even more enjoyable.

A special thank you to Mark, the manager, who was kind & accommodating in finding us a great table on their beautiful terrace. I highly recommend Damas & will definitely be back.
