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.

Damas is a nice high end Syrian restaurant with friendly staff & delicious food. The presentation is very nice & the portions quite generous. I thoroughly enjoyed my evening with my wife, however it is on the more expensive side. I would say the price is my only complaint otherwise I highly recommend eating at Damas for some delicious Syrian cuisine.

Delicious food with larger portions then most high end restaurants. The meat platter is a good selection of things. Drinks are delicious. Quince sorbet texture was a bit weird. But the pistachio ice cream & everything else was excellent. Highly recommend the vine leaves & lamb. They were also nice enough to modify menu items to be gluten friendly when possible.

Récemment, notre équipe de Déménagement Crown a eu le plaisir de découvrir le Restaurant Damas, un joyau culinaire situé au coeur chic & gastronomique d'Outremont, sur l'avenue Van Horne à Montréal. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis dans un microcosme confortablement unique, baigné de couleurs chaleureuses, de velours, de bois sculpté & de lumières multicolores. Le serveur était absolument charmant, alliant professionnalisme & une touche personnelle qui a rendu notre soirée encore plus spéciale. Quant à la cuisine, elle était tout simplement extraordinaire. Chaque plat servait de fenêtre sur un monde de saveurs exotiques & délicieuses, rendant l'expérience culinaire inoubliable. Nous remercions vivement toute l'équipe du Restaurant Damas pour cette soirée enchantée & nous recommandons à tous ceux qui cherchent une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle à Montréal de visiter ce lieu magique.

Could not recommend this restaurant more. My husband & I have never had Syrian food before but decided to try Dana's while we were in Montreal on vacation & it was both of our favorite restaurant we visited while we were there. We did the tasting menu & my husband did the wine pairing with his meal. The waitress was really knowledgeable about the menu & recommended substitutions where necessary for me since I am pregnant. It was excellent service, all the food we had was amazing (we left very full) & the sommelier was very friendly & professional. I definitely recommend anyone give this place a try, it was incredible!
