Tu ne peux pas te tromper en allant manger chez Damas, nourriture très bonne, service impeccable que ce soit à l'accueil ou à table, nous avons été servis par George que nous remercions encore...le seul point un peu négatif est le stationnement...vous risquez de tourner un peu pour trouver une place

We've decided to celebrate my sister's birthday at Damas. Such a great experience, the food is delicious & the service was excellent! We've had the fattouche, hummus, kebe, Hummus shawarma, lamb meet & many more. Great selection of wine! The desserts were delicious too. Good job!

We were told by friends to go here. Our server, Alan, gave us recommendations that were spot on. Great flavor, huge portions, service from the entire staff was as good as any restaurant we have been to. Will definitely recommend & return when in Montreal again.

Beautiful restaurant serving delicious Syrian food.

The decor is stunning, with oriental music on low volume, just perfect.

The food is delicious, we tried a few cold & hot mezze, as well as the grilled kebabs. Everything was beautifully presented, & very tasty. Portions are adequate, we went with a small fatoush salad, mouhammara, mutabbal, shish borek, Alep kebabs & a dessert. We could barely finish & could have ordered a bit less for 2.

My only issue is the price, I do think this is way overpriced. This is very good traditional Syrian food, very well executed (better than most other levantine restaurants), but it's still simple food. While I understand some of the high prices on racks of lamb & noble pieces of meat, most of the menu doesn't warrant these prices. 18$ labneh? Really
