La cuisine était exceptionnel & le service excellent. Le soucis vient d'un table adjacente qui criait assez fort pour ne nous soyons pas en mesure à notre propre table. Après leur avoir demandé personnellement sans que cela ne cesse, les serveurs nous ont assuré qu'ils allaient demander au patron de gérer la situation qui n'est jamais venu.

Nous avons décidé de quitter le restaurant sur un note extrêmement amer. Nous atteignons les 100 décibels par moment.

Our server Ayoub (hope I spelled it right) was phenomenal. Very friendly & knowledgeable with some great recommendations!
Service was excellent, quick & efficient but did not make you feel rushed at all.
Food was amazing! Highly recommend the lamb dumplings & the lamb kebab.
Décore is top notch as well, just unique & transformes you to a different country.
A tad pricey but well worth it for the great experience.

My favourite restaurant in Montréal - & it never disappoints.

We visited Damas for a special Mother's Day brunch, & the experience was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The set menu was thoughtfully curated - each dish felt intentional, beautifully presented, & full of flavour. Everything we tasted was delicious.

The service is truly impeccable. The staff strike that perfect balance of warmth & professionalism that's increasingly rare, & it made the occasion feel genuinely special.

Damas has been my go-to restaurant in the city for good reason - the food, the atmosphere, & the hospitality consistently deliver at the highest level. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in Montréal, this is the one.

Highly recommend. 🌿

La nourriture est exceptionnelle. Les repas sont riches & variés. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation avec l'accord de vins classiques. Je dois dire que parmi les grands restaurants de Montréal, il est dans les plus dispendieux. Le décor est magnifique & le service impeccable.

Bravo aux deux bonhommes qui pensent que couper du métal avec un grinder de 6:15 am à 7:30 am un Lundi férié c'est correct. C'est pas parceque t'es sur ta terrasse que personne t'entend , manque de savoir vivre flagrant. J'irai plus jamais au Damas.
