Review Summary

Damas is widely praised for bold, authentic Syrian flavors, generous sharing plates, and a polished fine dining vibe, with many noting exceptional service, sophisticated ambiance, and a strong wine and cocktail program. The tasting menu with wine pairing is a highlight for many, delivering a curated showcase of dishes, though some find it too large or pricey and would prefer conceptually lighter or ad hoc options. Service is repeatedly described as professional, attentive, and knowledgeable, though a few experiences mention slow service, missteps, or a sense that value does not always align with the price. Dishes like octopus, lamb, fattoush, hummus, and kebabs are frequently cited as standouts, with pitas and dips praised, while some mains or sides receive mixed reactions and a few guests feel portions or costs could be better aligned. The atmosphere is described as elegant and warm, sometimes lively and crowded, with a strong ambiance that can veer toward noisy on busy nights. Overall, Damas is considered one of Montreal’s top destinations for Syrian and Middle Eastern cuisine, delivering memorable experiences marked by bold flavors, meticulous presentation, and standout service, albeit with caveats about cost, noise, and occasional service or consistency issues.

Une expérience exceptionnelle!
Nous sommes venus à 2 pour un anniversaire & avons choisi le menu dégustation.
12 services incroyables & variés. Rien à redire sur la qualité des produits, de la présentation & des goûts. Nous nous sommes tout simplement régalés!
Le service était particulièrement sympathique également. Théo a su nous conseiller sur le menu & le vin. Nous avons pris le vin recommandé & n'avons pas été déçus. Tous les serveurs qui sont venus avaient une connaissance du menu détaillée & étaient très professionnels.
Je recommande 100%!!

Damas Restaurant, à Montréal, est l'une des meilleures adresses pour découvrir la cuisine du Moyen-Orient. Le menu est très varié, & particulièrement les mezzés ainsi que les plats d'agneau sont remarquablement réussis. Les présentations sont soignées, les ingrédients utilisés sont de grande qualité & l'équilibre des saveurs est très bien maîtrisé. L'équipe de service est professionnelle & attentionnée. Bien que le niveau de prix soit élevé, l'expérience offerte en vaut la peine.

The dishes were high quality & the service was fantastic. Our server, George, was attentive, kind, & very helpful in guiding us through the menu options. The food was served quickly, & everything was excellent.
We ordered the baba ghanoush as a starter, followed by the eggplant lamb kebab & the lamb shank, all of which were delicious.
It's on the pricier side, so it's a great choice for a special occasion.

Everything in this place makes you want to come back as fast as possible. The food menu is varied & the taste is so good. The service is impeccable whether at reception or at the table. The waiters know the dishes & help you understand the differences. I highly recommend.

Une expérience absolument mémorable.
Le menu est un véritable voyage culturel pour les papilles : chaque plat est d'une finesse & d'une richesse de saveurs impressionnantes, tout est tout simplement délicieux.

Le décor est magnifique, élégant & chaleureux, on s'y sent transporté dès l'entrée.

Le service, quant à lui, est impeccable : attentionné, professionnel & généreux, sans jamais être envahissant.

Une adresse précieuse à Montréal, autant pour la qualité exceptionnelle de la cuisine que pour l'expérience complète qu'on y vit. J'y retournerai sans hésiter.

I don't think I have witness a better service in any restaurant that I've been too. The food was great, service A1. I highly recommend this restaurant. It is a bit on the pricey end but it is surely worth every penny!

This restaurant is very overpriced considering the food is only OKAY.
The sharing menu is 160$ & is NOT worth it . Extremely small portions .
The service is amazing & the restaurant is clean & nice.

Absolument sublime ! Un des meilleurs restaurant que j'ai eu la chance de faire dans ma vie. La cuisine est pleinement maîtrisée & chaque bouchée est à la fois une découverte & une explosion de saveurs en bouche. Il est également difficile de faire mieux niveau service tellement on est traité comme des rois. Ce n'est pas donné comme restaurant, mais il vaut sans aucune hésitation son prix. Le menu du brunch est une excellente alternative pour tester le restaurant à un prix abordable avant d'y aller le soir pour se payer l'expérience complète.

Everything was really good! Just a little too expensive! 18$ for potatoes is a little much. Either than that service was top & good was delicious.

Amazing atmosphere & the staff were very attentive to details. The food… my god the food was phenomenal. We had the rack of ribs & the braised ribs as mains, with lamb dumplings & spicy potatoes as apps.
They also gave us complementary dishes for the delay in the service, (which we didnt mind at all) but just the attention let us know what kind of establishment Damas is.
Would highly reccomend, even if its a bit pricey. It is worth it. I will definitely come back!

Stay away from this place as much as you possibly can. $400 for 2 & it was total garbage. They also treat you like they are doing a favour in letting you inside their establishment (I would not call this a restaurant). Our waiter was rude & obnoxious. This is without a doubt, the worse place I have ever eaten in my life. If you are satisfied to pay over $400 for food barely worth $40. Go ahead. But you've been warned!!

Un brunch exceptionnel. Table d'hôte 3 services à 65$ plus 40$ pour l'accord des vins. Les sliders & l'accord Pigeon Hill était particulièrement apprécié. Une très belle salle à manger & une superbe cuisine ouverte. Service de tous charmant.
