We went out of our comfort zone this year & tried something new & oh my, this will place will be on our "regular" list going forward. It was THAT good. . Here is what we ate 1- GRILLED OCTOPUS Grilled octopus (T2), Aleppo pepper lemon sauce, green fava bean puree, cherry tomato & caper salsa 2- SOUR CHERRY KEBAB Charcoal grilled lamb kebab, Aleppo sour cherry sauce, seven spices, pine nuts, grilled Saj bread with butter 3- RACK OF LAMB (18 OZ) Alberta rack of lamb, seven spices, green hummus, Biwaz pita & tahini sauce 4- MIXED HOMEMADE BAKLAVA FOR 2 . . Everything was good. Anything cooked in an open grill is good. Smokey goodness. I'm still thinking of the sour cherry kebabs. That sauce, I wanna dip anything in that sauce. . If there's one place to go, it's gonna be @damasrestaurant - so make sure to check them out on your next visit to Montreal. You can make reservations via @opentable

When we travel, I spend time researching restaurants. We were thrilled to find that Damas is excellent. If we lived in Montreal we would eat here weekly. It is worth it. Our sever suggested a Syrian Bordeaux style blend & it was amazing. Entree portions are large, so watch it with the excellent first course choices like delicious octopus & grilled halloumi. I had lamb shoulder with tomato & okra & it was amazing. My wife enjoyed the duck. Service was also great. Damas is a do not miss restaurant experience.

Nous avons essayé le menu dégustation à 160$ par personne. C'était bon, mais nous n'avons pas voyagé ni été impressionné par les plats. Les explications sont très rapide, beaucoup d'agneau, & à la fin le dessert sont trois morceaux de Baklavas servi sans thé. Nous sommes habitué à la cuisine du moyen orient & nous étions choqué que on nous à même pas proposé un thé ou boisson avec le dessert. Si je reviens au restaurant je choisirai à la carte, plus intéressant & aussi diversifié que le menu dégustation.

We had dinner for two here & were apprehensive about price when looking at their online menu. Every dish we had was beautifully presented & was made with fresh & savory ingredients. Service was very attentive & unrushed. Seating was comfortable & environment very inviting. Yes this meal with be more expensive than at the average middle eastern restaurant in Montreal, but this is most certainly not your average middle eastern restaurant by any means.

Our recent dining experience at Damas, a renowned Syrian restaurant in Montreal, was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported to the Middle East through the restaurant's stunning ambiance, rich aromas, & a symphony of flavors that left an unforgettable impression. Food & Drinks The quality of the food at Damas is simply exceptional. Each dish was a masterpiece, showcasing the perfect balance of spices, fresh ingredients, & authentic Syrian flavors. The taste & aromas were exquisite, & we found ourselves savoring every bite. It was impossible to pick a favorite dish as each one seemed to outshine the last. The non-alcoholic beverages were equally delightful, crafted with care & offering unique flavor profiles that complemented the meal perfectly. Service The service at Damas was equally impressive. Our waiter was approachable, welcoming, & genuinely kind, making us feel right at home. What stood out most was the attentiveness of the entire staff. They circled the tables frequently, ensuring our glasses of water were always refilled & our bread basket was constantly replenished. The hosts were also lovely & attentive, escorting us to our table with warmth & professionalism. Atmosphere The atmosphere at Damas is vibrant, spacious, & beautifully decorated. Each section of the restaurant has its own unique vibe, allowing guests to find the perfect setting to match their mood. This thoughtful design added to the overall experience, making it even more memorable. Room for Improvement While our experience inside the restaurant was flawless, the surrounding area felt a bit off-putting. The streets outside were noticeably dirty, & we felt slightly unsafe as we arrived. It's surprising that such a beautiful & well-run establishment is situated in this particular location, as it feels out of place. That said, once inside, all concerns melted away, & the restaurant provided a stunning escape. Overall Damas is a culinary gem that offers an authentic & unforgettable Syrian dining experience. The exceptional food, attentive service, & vibrant ambiance are unmatched. Despite the challenges with the surrounding area, we will undoubtedly be returning to this fantastic restaurant. Absolutely delicious from start to finish!

This was our first time trying Syrian food. We got the tasting menu & the staff very graciously accommodated the dietary restrictions of my partner while making sure we had a great experience. There was so much food that we felt extremely full at the end of the evening. Take your time, & enjoy the delicious adventure!
