Diners encounter an expansive array of mezze including velvety hummus and smoky baba ghanouj alongside expertly seasoned grilled meats. The kitchen prioritizes high-quality spices and fresh produce to construct complex, layered flavor profiles characteristic of Middle Eastern heritage. Signature dishes such as fattoush and kibbeh exhibit a commitment to meticulous preparation and bold, aromatic herbs. The interior design mirrors the cultural vibrancy of the region through intricate textures and warm, ambient lighting. This establishment represents a significant destination for those seeking a comprehensive exploration of Mediterranean-inspired dishes prepared with technical precision. Each plate emphasizes the rich, diverse culinary landscape of Syria while maintaining a focus on structural balance and traditional ingredient sourcing.

Damas is widely recognized as a premier destination in Montreal, celebrated for its refined take on Syrian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Many diners describe the food as exceptional, highlighting vibrant flavors, high-quality ingredients, and creative presentations that elevate traditional dishes into an unforgettable dining experience. While the atmosphere is frequently praised for its beautiful, ornate decor and warm, celebratory energy, the level of service is consistently noted as a primary strength, with staff often described as professional, attentive, and highly knowledgeable. Although the restaurant is considered pricey and some patrons have noted concerns regarding the cost relative to portion sizes or inconsistencies during particularly busy shifts, the majority of visitors view it as a must-visit institution.

Un des meilleurs restos à Montréal. Je crois n'avoir jamais vu un aussi bon service aux tables qu'au Damas: serveurs patients, enthousiastes, riches dans leurs descriptions & à l'écoute.

We chose the prix fixe pescatarian tasting menu, which came with a lot of food. Salad, babaganoush, egg/pita, falafel, octopus, stuffed grape leaves, bulgur, fish & baklava. We enjoyed this feast with a refreshing white wine from Syria. The highlights were the babaganoush (truly a surprising flavour explosion), falafel, octopus & fish entree. The food was very solid with a few surprising stand outs. The service & atmosphere was typical for such a big space (reminded me a bit of Dishoom). However, the price was very steep & would have appreciated some guidance on our tasting menu choice. (Assuming this would have knocked a couple hundred $ off our dinner for two...making it more palpable)

Service attentionné bien que un peu trop familier . Décor & finition de belle qualité,sièges peu confortable. Nourriture agréable bien que surcotée,36$ la salade Fatouche ,76$ l assiette d agneau délicieuse malgré que l agneau provienne de nouvelle Zélande réputé pour être 2/3 fois moins cher à l achat que l agneau du Québec . Une belle soirée en perspective si vous ne regarder pas à la dépense.
