Many diners highlight the tasting menu as a memorable way to experience a variety of authentic flavors, from signature fattoush and hummus to succulent grilled meats, all served within a beautifully decorated, upscale setting.

Knocking two stars. One for the pricing - hummus with chicken shouldn't cost 45 CAD. Nor should a samka harra be 110 CAD. Second star knocked off for the decor & atmosphere. The restaurant aims to be high-end while the interior is confusing - the lights are moroccan, the tiles generic, nothing says syrian. No pictures or items from its regions (aleppo, latakia, homs, etc). what pushes the rating is the service & quality of food.

The service at Damas is one of the best service I have seen. The waitress was awesome, full of energy & provided good suggestions. Appetizers were awesome! Entrees were so-so but the whole experience was awesome!

I will start by saying that we've heard nothing but rave reviews about Damas & have had this restaurant on our list for a while. However, when you're paying over $500 for a meal, we were expecting to be wowed & were not. We chose the tasting menu & although the food was very good, it was frankly not worth the price point. Some courses were extremely simple with one dimensional flavour (ex: the olives, the fattoush salad) Also, we were charged for tea during the dessert, which we found odd to not have been already included in the tasting menu at $160 per person. The most disappointing part was definitely the service. The servers seemed very out of sync, always getting in each others way & knocking things at our table on two separate occasions. They also took our plates away while we were still eating, which completely surprised me. It felt very rushed & tarnished the experience. We were also not given bread when we noticed all other tables had, & had to ask for some. Overall, there was a level of refinement & depth of flavour missing for us, especially at this price point & compared to other iconic restaurants in Montreal. We will not be returning.

Came here in April with my gf for my birthday dinner & was the best restaurant experience Ive had ! The tasting menu was extremely delicious & the sommelier who came by with our sparkling wine was also very amicable.

Personnellement je trouve ce restaurant sur-côté. On en a tellement entendu parler qu'on s'est laissé convaincre que le prix serait justifié. La nourriture y est bonne & le service très bien mais absolument rien d'exceptionnel. & l'ambiance n'y est pas intimiste comme on aurait pu le penser. Le restaurant est super grand, donc super bruyant. Je pense que ce restaurant surf sur le fait qu'il y a peu de standard & que les gens payent n'importe quoi à n'importe quel prix. On en resort pour 400$ à deux pour le menu dégustation. C'est bien cuisiné certes, mais c'est juste normal. Ce n'est pas non plus une expérience culinaire digne d'un restaurant gastronomique, c'est pourtant le même prix. C'est plutôt décevant pour nous.

Bon restaurant mais rapport qualité prix bien trop onéreux pour les plats apportés. Service à améliorer & ambiance plus chaleureuse, moins bruyante avec une petit musique de fond ne serait pas de refus Pour un restaurant qui se veut gastronomique il y a des progrès à faire
