I've eaten here a few times & it is still one of my favourite restaurants of all times. I am celiac so tasting menus can be difficult sometimes. Damas was able to accommodate & we were a walk-in. Everything was delicious. Ambiance is great. I can't wait to go back!

Very expensive for a meal that was good but really nothing special.

great food in bigger portions than expected, & particularly liked that the waiter told us it might be a lot of food for the two of us, rather than force upsell & then have food thrown out.

Bel endroit avec une ambiance unique. Excellent service. Les plats sont classiques mais savoureux. C'est toutefois très cher & manque un peu de créativité & d'originalité pour le prix.

Parfaite soirée entre filles pour un anniversaire! Le service était impeccable, le personnel est attentionné & professionnel. La carte des alcools est varié, tout autant que le menu. Je recommanderai ce restaurant les yeux fermés, peu importe votre palette de gout, & même votre diète.

Restaurant delicieux qui nous transporte ailleurs. Tout est très goûteux. Il faut cependant réserver d'avance car très achalandé. Jamais déçue!!! Sans compter Folfol de l'autre côté de la rue pour le take-out Damas.

Excellent restaurant, perhaps our number 1 in the city. I'd say it's underrated how incredible the service, food, & atmosphere is. Just go enjoy the ride!

Here's a refined & polished version: --- We came here to celebrate our 4-year anniversary after it was highly recommended by some friends who visit regularly. & it did not disappoint! We booked online a couple of weeks in advance without any issues. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by several staff members & promptly shown to our table. The décor was exquisite, just like in the photos, creating a charming ambiance that was sophisticated yet unpretentious. The seating was comfortable, & we had the choice of still or sparkling water as we browsed the cocktail menu. I tried the Aleppo gin sour-a vibrant green cocktail with strong coriander notes (a word of warning if you're not a coriander fan!). It was fantastic; I ended up having two. My girlfriend enjoyed two different gin-based cocktails & loved each one. Being our first time, we decided to try the tasting menu, & it was outstanding. While I'm not deeply familiar with Syrian or even Lebanese cuisine, I was blown away by each of the 12 dishes, each offering unique textures, an abundance of nuts, pomegranate seeds, & complex spice blends. Our server was exceptional (blond woman, didn't get her name, MERCI BEAUCOUP !) - attentive & personable, asking if we had any food preferences or intolerances. My girlfriend isn't a fan of raw meat, like tartare (which I personally love), & our server graciously provided her with an alternative dish. The rest of the staff was equally attentive, efficiently clearing plates & replacing our utensils throughout the evening. In short, an unforgettable experience. We'll definitely be back! It is on the pricier side, but for a unique, top-tier dining experience in the city, it's worth every penny. Bravo to the entire team! Gros merci encore.
