Venez vous joindre à nous pour une soirée syrienne enchantée dans le cœur chic et gastronomique d'Outremont, sur l'avenue Van Horne. Au Restaurant Damas, un microcosme au confort unique vous accueillera avec des couleurs chaudes, des velours, du bois sculpté et des lumières multicolores.
Dans l'ensemble, Damas est perçu comme une expérience culinaire syrienne haute en couleur et en saveurs, avec un menu riche et varié qui met en valeur mezzés, agneau et fruits de mer, servi dans une ambiance élégante et chaleureuse et un service attentif et professionnel. La cuisine est largement louée pour sa maîtrise, ses présentations soignées et ses associations audacieuses qui rendent chaque plat riche et équilibré. Le cadre et les cocktails, y compris les options sans alcool et les accords mets et vins, rehaussent l'ensemble et conduisent beaucoup à considérer l'expérience comme digne d'une soirée spéciale. Cependant, certains avis évoquent le prix élevé et des portions parfois inégales selon le plat, ainsi que des retards ou un service qui peut sembler inégal en période d'affluence. Malgré ces réserves, Damas demeure une adresse majeure de Montréal que beaucoup recommandent vivement pour découvrir une cuisine syrienne sophistiquée et profiter d'un moment convivial et raffiné.
Damas is hands-down my favorite restaurant in Montreal. From the moment you walk into the gorgeous dining room on Van Horne, the experience is just unmatched. The service is always incredibly warm & attentive, & the atmosphere feels so special without being stuffy.
But the food is the real reason I keep coming back. The Syrian flavors are so rich, vibrant, & perfectly balanced. Everything is incredibly fresh from the cold mezzes right down to the charcoal-grilled meats. Whether you go all out on the tasting menu or just share a bunch of plates, you honestly can't go wrong. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but it is absolutely worth every single penny for the quality & the overall experience. A true 10/10.
Damas is definitely a Montreal institution. It's an upscale Syrian restaurant in Outremont that gets a lot of buzz, & I can see why people are drawn to it. The ambiance is stunning, the staff are genuinely warm & welcoming, & the service is attentive throughout the whole evening. No complaints there. That said, I left feeling like the hype doesn't quite hold up. The food is good & decent, but for the price point, I expected to be blown away & I simply wasn't. When you're paying fine dining prices,'decent' just doesn't cut it. It feels more like you're paying a premium for the atmosphere & the name than for truly exceptional cuisine. Worth visiting once if only to say you've been, but it's not the kind of place that leaves you counting the days until your next reservation. A memorable first visit, but not somewhere I'd rush back to.

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.
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!
Everything we had here was delicious & the service is attentive & friendly, which I appreciated. Nice atmosphere as well. Quite pricy for the portion you get which is why I'm deducting one star.
Went there for Sunday dinner. The service was excellent, professional, attentive & genuinely warm. Every dish was introduced with clear explanations, which made the whole experience feel thoughtful. Portions were generous. We didn't manage to finish everything, & that was after we forgot to order one more dish we originally planned.
The food was outstanding, rich in flavor, balanced, & simply delicious. A memorable meal overall.

I recently dined at Damas Restaurant, & it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Although it is on the expensive side, it's absolutely worth it. The quality of the food was exceptional-every dish was rich in flavor & beautifully presented. The drinks were just as impressive, crafted with great care.
The service was excellent as well; our waiter was attentive, friendly, & made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Overall, Damas delivers a top-tier dining experience, & I highly recommend it for anyone looking for outstanding food & service.
One of my favorite restaurants in the world & a place I come to Montreal for. The service is impeccable - warm & attentive but not fussy. The kitchen is open to being flexible to dietary restrictions even with the tasting menu. & the food is consistently some of the best I've had anywhere. Everything is innovative & delicious. I never review restaurants & had to sing their praises. Always a 10/10.
Had an absolutely amazing meal here ! The food has so much flavour; my personal favourites were the fattoush salad, the hummus, labneh & the pita. The pita bread had a slight hint of honey to it; might have been the best pita I have ever had. It is a beautifully designed restaurant that was buzzing with a great energy. The service was seamless & their every attention to detail took it up a notch. Big shout out to our waiter, Theo, who was excellent & very attentive & friendly. We will be recommending this restaurant to all of our friends & looking forward to coming back ourselves !

We went to Damas to celebrate our anniversary & it was such a wonderful experience. We chose the tasting menu, & I really appreciated how the staff explained each dish as it was served - it made the evening feel even more special.
The food was incredible. My absolute favorites were the lamb & the Crevettes Kunafa - both were packed with flavor & perfectly prepared.
The atmosphere is warm yet elegant, & the service was attentive without being overwhelming. Honestly, it was the perfect place for our celebration, & I'd go back without hesitation.
We were a party of 14 & did the tasting menu. We were blown away. Every single dish that came out was amazing. That battered ice cream was probably the best ice cream I've ever had. Our server, the somm, the bussers were all so kind & attentive. This was my first time in Montreal & they really set the service standard high. If I ever come back this is the first place I'm visiting again.
Everything is top notch. Service was extremely attentive. Food was incredible & flavorful, made with clean & delicious ingredients. I went here based on a recommendation & am very impressed & this is o e of the best middle eastern restaurants in North America. I ordered the course menu for $125 & loved it. Everything was perfect & Gabriel was a huge help.
J'ai passé une excellente soirée dans ce restaurant, en grande partie grâce à Keira, notre serveuse, qui a été d'une gentillesse & d'un professionnalisme remarquables. Elle nous a accueillis avec un grand sourire, toujours attentive & soucieuse de notre confort tout au long du repas.
Ce qui m'a particulièrement marqué, c'est sa patience & sa réactivité : elle n'a pas hésité à faire changer à deux reprises un morceau de viande qui n'était pas à la cuisson demandée, sans jamais faire sentir que cela posait problème. Un service client exemplaire !
Les autres membres de l'équipe étaient également très attentionnés & présents sans être envahissants, ce qui a grandement contribué à l'ambiance détendue & agréable du repas.
Bref, un service impeccable, une équipe aux petits soins, & une Keira qui mérite amplement d'être reconnue pour son professionnalisme. Merci encore pour ce beau moment !
The food was extraordinary, every dish was full of flavour. The service was attentive, & friendly. On top of that, the place itself is perfect for a special night out
Tried Damas for the first time, the food was spectacular, but came here to mention how good the service that we recieved was. Never had a waitress that was this attentive to making our experience the best! Thank you Mercedes!
Damas truly lives up to its reputation. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a warm atmosphere & attentive service that sets the tone for a great dining experience.
The menu is rich with variety-flavorful, authentic
I'm honestly wowwwed!!! We took the tasting menu with the Mediterranean wine pairing. I am completely impressed with the quality & quantity of food, as well as the wine pairings. You have a lot more than you pay for. Our waiter Patrick & our sommelier John (which is very knowledgeable) were simply amazing. Their service is on point, professional, attentive to details, & just enjoyable. I will definitely recommend & come back without hesitation. Thank you for this beautiful experience!!
